mounting the ecm to the undertray with ziptie

clutch and inspection covers of

remove the shift lever

and take out the clutch mechanism

loosen the chain tensioner

stil draining.. move to the right side , cut the cables free

you need the big flat one ( first model plug ) and the big 4 pin , with only 3 pins in it

the 4 pin with 3 wires is the stator plug

disconnect and pull out the lock wedge out the connector

with a little pick push the locks a little out and pull the wires

fil with oil

and adjust the clutch mechanism.. adjust the cable adjuster after

load test idle.. looking good

unloaded test stator AC Volts .. idle perfect

and 2000 rpm check.. nice

now to change the much faulty no.77 plug ( the big flat one ) these burn out regulary , marking the red , feed to battery .. as all wires behind the connector are black

very nice M2 need to make it run.. and search for oil leak

battery is about dead..

it was leaking about.. customer cleaned already some

simple things first. wet shock ! douse the dampening still works.. common for these to spill there oil .after a long time not riding

pully cover of

little wet behind

but mostly to the front under the camcover

lets remove the canister and see

wet here to.. i suspect engine cases gasket ?

at front also wet

first clean

so we can see some thing

remove the heat shield

and start here up... nice and easy.
