I have read some of the articles about installing the verslavy, and i don't think I can do it. What would you tell a mechanic about this procedure,and would you try to show him this website?I'll buy the part and give it to him.Thanks!

HOwcum you dont think you could do that?

naaahh,,, this is easy peezy,,

I've got to study the procedure more,to give an intelligent answer. I appreciate your concern. I'll probably wait a couple thousand more miles before I buy the part.I've got 5500 mi. I'm just preparing for it. Thanks!

You can do it.  Take it slow and easy.  Print out the instructions if you need to so they will be right there with you.  Draw a diagram so you can document where each bolt comes from and be able to put it back in the right place.  

You'll be amazed at what you can do if you study what you have to do and take it slowly and methodically.

I do all my wrenching myself.  My lack of available funds has forced me to all my life.  Now, I would do it anyway cause I've fixed too many mechanic repairs on cars and bikes.

There's a world of help and knowledge here.  If you get stuck someone will know exactly where you are and how to help you out of it.

I have yet to see anyone do damage doing it at home. Ive seen several engines destroyed by "professionals". IF you have a place to park under cover, then the $$$ you save will more than buy the tools. I was terrified to open this thing up, even tho Id been working on cars for years. Not a pro, just water pumps, alternators,, stuff like that. Once I got here I saw people with zero experience walking thru jobs, just because the guys here can walk a newbie thru these basic maintenance steps. Its really easy. I can say this, for sure, the mechanics see few of these, they arent on the "popular" list.

They dont want to work on this, the other guys will be smirking,, "HaaHaaa,, you got the savage to work on" ( pure conjecture)

Anyway, the Pros at the shop rarely see these, Ive seen people take them in for oil change, & get the engine dest5royed, because the PRO put the filter in bakkerds!

When you are ready to do anything on it, pm me. I'll send you my cell number. Brakes are easy, tensioner isn't bad, took mine off as a practice run. All you need is patience and a piece of cardboard to stick your clutch cover bolts into, in the order they come out. You can't screw it up, the case bolts start at number 1 on top of the case, just go around clockwise. Go out and look at the top of the clutch cover, right by the oil fill, you'll see the number...

Take a cell phone pic of the clutch side guts for reference and get dirty.

Tires are a pain in the butt to do yourself unless you have a machine or access to one at a friend's place.

I actually came across a roll of white butchers paper that's 24" wide, must be a couple hundred feet on it. I lay down about a three section wide path from front to back of bike and can tell where anything drops or if there is any oil or fluid drippage.
