Now that the wires are free from the frame, and the motorcycle is supported properly, remove the nuts that hold on the right-side footrest.  Tap the bolts toward the left until the right-side footrest can be removed and lowered to the ground.

Remove the hidden bolt that secures the left-side footrest assembly to the frame.

Place a drip pan under the alternator cover to catch any oil that dribbles out.  Also lay some clean cardboard on the ground so you have a nice place to set the alternator cover once it’s removed.

There are nine bolts.

Immediately start looking for this washer.  It goes on the starter torque limiter assembly.  Very easy to lose.

When you remove the torque limiter assembly, the inner washer may stick to the engine case.

If the washer falls between the flywheel and the starter clutch gear, immediately take action to capture the washer.  Don’t continue until you have captured the washer.  A long piece of wire works good.  Carefully thread the wire through the washer and tie it off.  Now the washer can’t get lost (i.e. fall into the engine).
