That does seem a little excessive, i know his vapour blasting is more than just soda blasting but i think that only came out at around £120.
Valentinik:
A question about the primary shaft installation if someone wouldn't mind answering. In the manual it states this:
I can't see any markings on the starting gear and clutch to indicate how to position it. Is the position of them important and if so, how do i go about aligning them?
Thanks
Mike
Bryanj:
It isnt important, BUT ignore the boolk and build everything into the top half of the crankcase thaen after case assembly you can refit the primary shaft by holding the starter/primary gear through the sump hole. This way makes it a lot easier to get the selectors etc to line up
Valentinik:
Thanks both, that's really useful. My next question was going to be about how to align the gear selectors.
I've left the selectors assembled on the drum but I can't see any mention in the manual about how to align the gear and selectors in the right place. Is there a picture of the gears in the correct position I may have missed somewhere?

Make sure you also renew the primary shaft dampers along with the primary chain, it will last a lot longer if you do and will also be far quieter as they tend to go hard and lose their damping ability as a result.

The primary chain was already on my list as it had started eating its way into the crankcase, but i'l add the dampers as well.
