    I was going to say, in your efforts please go through every single electrical connection and either clean or replace them with spade connectors. They get dirty and corroded and prevent good contact.

    Welcome to the forum. This is where you want to be for that nice looking bike. Ditto on being careful installing the seat cover as I have ripped one myself in the process.

    what did you wrench on today??

    Not exactly new anymore. Due to my stupidity of installing the cam chain tensioner incorrectly, I've created a bad engine rattle I haven't been able to track down. After an exhaustive upper engine investigation and replacing several things, it's still there. So, on to the lower end.

    what did you wrench on today??

    l It's noy easy pulling an engine by yourself. I think I have a couple new bruises on my arms.

    what did you wrench on today??

    I'm digging back into the FZ1. I had the head inspected and tested and it all checked out good so that's not the culprit for my engine noises. I'm also replacing clutch plates but I'm pretty sure there's no issues there. I'm starting to think I have rod bearing problem(s) which will NOT be fun.

    Clutch plates

    Yes, three different ones but I can only find a difference between the one plate that goes on first and all the others. The first one has a larger inner diameter than the rest. I went ahead and ordered all new plates OEM. Springs are still in spec so I'm not wasting anymore money. Clymer says...

    Clutch plates

    Last year I installef the cam chain tensioner incorrectly and it was way too tight. Ended up shredding the intake side chain guide and there was ground up plastic and some metal shavings everywhere. I'm guess some shavings got in there.

    Clutch plates

    Inspected my clutch plates from my 2001 FZ1 and, while they are within spec WRT thicknesses and flatness, there is some damage to some of the pressure plates. See pic. Also, there is a place where the bonded coating has worn off. Should I replace the set?

    loose damper springs in clutch basket

    I guess I should have said this is from my 2001 Yamaha FZ1. I just noticed that the ones with slop have 1 less winding than the two that are tight.

    loose damper springs in clutch basket

    Has anybody ever put washers for shims in there to take up the slack in damper springs that can slide back and forth? If so, what keeps them from flying out? What else can be done. Or, is it even a concern? Thanks.

    Welcome to the site. That blue one is absolutely frickin' beautiful! How much for it?

    My advice, Mr. Noreg, is to go get a car. Motorcycle riding is fun, but that just sounded miserable to me.
