Removing the left side engine cover help? (Read 3 times)

theikeman Senior Member Offline Live each day as if it were your last ... Posts: 344 Gibsonton in South Florida Gender:	Removing the left side engine cover help? 02/27/06 at 21:31:49 Ok, I need to replace the two starter gears which were removed by the PO, I have removed all the bolts except the one on the bottom which is of course behind the kickstand and not acessable. The direction in the clymer make no sense. Help? Hopefully step by step. Thanks Ike ???

If I remember corectly, You have to remove the side stand assy. The way I remember it, I tied a rope on the handle-bars and to a pole and leaned the bike slightly to the left. This way the rope was doing the job of the sidestand. There are 3 points holding the sidestand assy- 2 engine bolts and 1 bolt /14 mm wrench/ from under the engine.
You will have to disconnect the gear shifter too.

The arificial intelligence is no match for the natural stupidity

Reply #2 - 02/28/06 at 09:50:00 Ike...I was able to loosen my kick stand and pull it away enough to remove the side cover...But when you get it off look carefully at the case where the 2 gears ride...The 87 model has a tendency to break the case and you will have to have it welded up and redrilled...

Well, I got the left cover off with your kind help and YES, one of the darn starter gear mounts inside is broken. Both on the cover are ok. What is an easy fix (if any) short of replacing the block??? ???

Reply #6 - 03/07/06 at 12:14:05 I decided to try a different approach to this issue. I bought a "stick" of J-B Weld, mixed (kneaded) it until it was a uniform color then pressed it in place in three layes with the sleeve intact. I think it will work and hold. Pictures as soon as it's cured and done. FYI Ike

Reply #7 - 03/07/06 at 12:21:10 I have used JB Weld before with some success on non-stressed areas. The difficulty I had was with the adhesion issue on something under stress. If you can make it stay put then it may work for you.

You could drill the mount a bit and put a longer axle in to give the gear a bit more support. Read this on a Japanese site which I cannot find anymore, sorry.
