    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.

Suggestions for putting the front sprocket cover back on

Well it came off easy but now its damn near impossible to put back on. I already looked through the manual but no dice. Any suggestions out there like little tips or tricks on how to get it on easily? I think whats holding me up is that the big nylon bushing/screw isn't really allowing the clutch cover to full sit down on the engine . The little clutch shaft is stoping it. Suggestions or prayers?
 
The clutch actuation helix needs to be indexed properly or it will stick out too far. Did you remove it when you had the cover off? If so, pull it back out and try it in a different position until you get it fully seated as far in as it will go.
 
Yeah I tried clocking it to different positions but I noticed that there was no other way it could really work other than in one position. Which unfortunately doesn't give the clutch shaft enough clearance. Any other way and its impossible to get the cable hooked up correctly or to get the return spring to connect correctly.

Sounds like you have it indexed wrong. It's a helix and you can start it at a number of different positions. Try playing around with it some more and find the spot where it screws in all the way, then back it out slightly to hook up the spring.
