Ok so I propped it up, swingarm already removed, to get ready for teardown: Note its no longer sitting
on the rear jackstands because I hooked a chain hoist to the rear and lifted it by the rafters.
Made it much easier to roll under with my stool.
This is pretty basic. Pull the driver's side tank plastic off, oil fill cover, and complete airbox
assembly. That's basically it, you can see the entire rear of the engine once that is removed.
Make sure you have all the right parts:
Before we turn any more wrenches, you'll notice your two gaskets have nice pieces of cardboard protecting
them. Lets use those as drawing boards and trace them. Then punch the bolt holes with a screwdriver and
you have a handy place to store your bolts since there are several different sizes that will come out of this cover.
Now we are at the business end....let's start by pulling the 4 bolts that hold the kickstart cover on.
This cover has no gasket and no sealer. I recommend you use some rtv when it goes back together. You can
never be too careful.
