@warp9.9 - it's a large dose of ignorance here as this is the first bike I've ever tried to do any repairs/mods on myself. I was trying to think logically (wife doubts this is possible) with regards to processing remnants - apologies if I stepped on the toes of those far better acquainted with these motors than me - I managed an oil change so far

Bud there is nothing to apologize for

Ok that's swarf if you loosing a bearing it would look more like the one below

If that picture don't bunch your panties up I have a few more
After all you have to break stuff to learn stuff

Geez ! that's a real pretty picture Warp
This what you call Art.
As we know, Art is expensive.

@warp9.9 - I read your posts in awe - how can one man know and understand soo much about these..?? Hey, ho..it is brilliant to read even though I will forget 90% of the relevant information before I get to the end of the paragraph. Nice

Warp has a little experience with Grenades.
An old saying "A man who hasn't blown an Engine to bits a dozen times, .....knows nothing"

Please feel free to step on Warps toes and while you are at it stomp on his head also.

Pretty beat guys, bike is almost ready to have the engine and trans dropped. Will post pics and update tomorrow. Thanks for all the advice and guidance so far!

Alright, so I will be taking a break likely until this coming Thursday. Need to order some parts, (gaskets, crush washers, throttle body rubber boot, and I'm sure I'm missing a few items) Any and all input is always welcome guys! This forum and input from this post has already been a huge help. She is currently on stands and the next step us removing the swing arm and securing the drive shaft. Debating on a new paint color as well! Before and Current pics below. P.S. don't mind the wood blocks, my neighbor needed his stands back (in orange) lol
