Progress?

Got the waterpump kit installed and motor back together. A few images of the continuing project......

Rear axle bolt is the new headache. Will not budge, lots of grinding when turning it. Yup, new bearings are the next step.....

.....along with a detailed cleaning.

Part 2 - It's Off!

After extensively studying the How-to process on faq.f650.com, I took the clutch cover off the bike today and studied the innards of the clutch. Everything appears to be in great shape for a bike with 68K miles on it. Parts for the waterpump have been ordered through 4dstarmotors, hope to have it all back together in the next week or so. I'm itching to go riding!
