It pops out when throttle is applied. If I let off it will jump back in to gear. Splitting the case is not what I wanted to hear. However, I just happen to have an extra motor and trans sitting in my house.

Anyone have the problem with the bikes jumping in and out of gear, this is an 03 black bird with 69k on it. I haven't check the clutch or the rod for the clutch lifter yet.

I would start with the cam chain tensioner. There cheap and Easy to replace. It sounds like mine did when I changed motors out.

Great info Stan.

Sorry I haven't been able to post School is keeping me busy . I found a machine shop that can get the bolt out by electrical destruction. Not sure what that means but for now im going to swith the heads out till i can afford to have them do the work on it. I was going to work on the bike and get some pictures on Thursday but we had a good storm and i got water in the basement. I will post pictures as soon as i can.

I'll post a picture. I already tried the left hand drill bit. I needed to tilt the motor to get to the bolt.

New problem. My EzOut broke which never happens to me. Any Ideas on how to get the bolt out now ?

sweet thanks

Alright I have an oil leak comming from the cylinder head cover. It appears that I over torqued a bolt up there . So i need to gain a better angle so i can drill and easy out the bolt. Is it possible to just drop the exhaust and unbolt the front of the motor from the frame and tilt it down?

Well the cycle is back up and running for now

Im looking to get $80 or best offer for this part + shipping. I do not have the wiring harness for it.

+1 I have read on up on them. I don't know if i can do this one. It will cost 300 to have it taken care of by the pro's

IT IS RUNING. But not like it should be. It will not idle. It reminds me of my harley I use to own in that way. Valves need to be adjusted Which I am not going to do. I will be sending it in to the shop for that.

It does turn over. It has good compression. I will have to check for spark. Im assuming it would have spark since I used my coils. The head gasket Gaged the same thickness from the blown motor to the other one. I just went out and bought new plugs. Im going to change them and hope for the best. How would i check the timming? Well that is going to be a little harder, but a timing light will work with a induction pickup. When you pull the plugs stick one in the coil wire and touch it to some metal and turn over looking for a spark first, or just hold it and see if it shocks you.... Also, a little gas sqirted in the carbs will deal with gas flow problems, Check that alll your plugs are connected well. On top of the motor. Nothing pinched. by the frame, and motor. Make sure that you have put the plug wires on the right plug. And that the correct coil wire is to the + side of the coil. Got the ground wire on the frame and starter tight. I forget is it carbed or Fi. check all your fuzes including the one under the red cover... I'm working on changing the plugs right now. I did get it to run for a few sec's. First three plugs are WET. Which is not a problem I bought new plugs just neglected to put them in Well changed the pluged and now it seems to want to start even more. I will work on it alittle later dinner time
