I can't remember which i put where ( I do have the spline washer under the nut ), guess ill drain fluids for a thrid time tomorrow and check it . I'll be able to do this in my sleep before to long. I know if i crank down on that nut to much the inner basket will not spin freely , maybe have the thicker was in the wrong place ? I dunno ? ? :cry: ??

Make sure the fuel is shut off and lay it on her side. I have changed clutches at the races without even draining the oil.
98kaw500rider:
antifreeze will go everywhere if i lay it down , last thing i want is for that to get into the crank case . Then ill be draining the fluids and cleaning it out at the same time .
Goat:
coolant shouldn't leak if the cap is tight or get into the cases if everything is torqued properly. If it does there is a problem.
BDI:
If the side case is off then the coolant will have already been drained. It's times like this when I realise what a bargain a manual really is.
