    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I figure I'll ask before I break something (else)
I'm taking this apart to prep for new gaskets and to determine if anything else needs doing.
Screws are all out or beheaded and I wanted to ask if I need to remove the 'Governor Assembly' in order to remove this? if so, how?

Anything else I need to check while I'm under here?

1 check the stator for signs of melting or shorting.
2 make sure the screws holding the stator haven't backed off and it isn't loose in any way.
3 check the wires for any signs of overheating or cracking.
4 check the clutch for any grooves made by the plates.
*you could go as far as taking the clutch apart and checking the springs in the back of the clutch basket for excessive wear or if any are broken.

**maybe switch to SS Allen bolts.

that's about all I can think of.

It does look very nice and clean in there.
 
With the cases off, consider getting the wet n dry paper out and polish the cases. I'm in the middle of doing the same on my 400 and the difference is night and day.
