If it's a blind hole then he can clean it out easily without splitting his cases. 1978 KZ1000 A2 Click--->Build Thread 2004 ZX-10R 2007 Harley Sportster 1200 2020 Harley Street Glide Special Angola, IN

testarossa Offline User Attack life, it's only trying to kill you. Posts: 3678 Thank you received: 82	Nelson, I just checked my spare cases and that hole is blind. You should be able to pick it, blow it, or tap it. What ever method you prefer to get your holes clean. No worries about getting any gack into your crankcase there. 1978 KZ1000 A2 Click--->Build Thread 2004 ZX-10R 2007 Harley Sportster 1200 2020 Harley Street Glide Special Angola, IN

Ok I got the hole cleaned out and that cover on. Now I'm trying to decide what to do about this rubber damper thing for the starter clutch. I did the clay measurement in the manual.

Clearance is 7mm. The old damper is 7.26mm thick and has the 2 star marks on it.

The manual says for clearance of 6-7mm use the 2 star damper, for clearance of 7-8mm use the 3 star (thicker) damper.

My clearance is right on the line between the two. How to decide?

Manual says new dampers are 7.3mm or 8.3mm.

Any thoughts?

since u are so close, it shouldnt matter.
i would use the damper u have . it may get a little tighter when u torque it .
if u use the thicker 1, it will just ware faster.
did u try your local kawi dealer for the bearing? not sure if they actualy ware out. if there is no obvious ware i would run it. if we can leave the crank bearings in for so long i think we can leave those.
