What cover did you take off?

As for the alarm, it should be basic stuff, follow the instructions (if you buy one and get a PDF of the install book I can help more). Most will be very straight forward, the trick would be to hide it and make it looks stock so someone doesnt just disable it.

hmmm ur in hampton roads, va - I'm in va....I might have to see this fuel pump for myself - can I take your bike for a spin? :lol

alarm - NOOOOOOO!!! say good bye to your charging system or hello to frequent battery purchases....and any wire testing/chasing you may have to do in the future will be a million times harder. Unless it's LoJack being professionally installed - I wouldn't bother with those retarded Scorpion alarms or proximity alarms.

As for the alarm, it would be a drain so you would need to have a charger connected if it is parked for more then 12 hours or so I would think. Battery Tender would work well for this.

LMAO!!! SO lets see... letting someone ride my bike.. nope not going to happen.. I think twice about just letting the wife sit on her.. lol... What part of Va are you in???

as for the alarm I have a battery tender that I'm using when I know the bike is going to sit for more than a day or so. I just had to replace the battery in it so I'm making sure not to mess it up.. Besides I would much rather ruin a battery than to lose my bike to some theif... I'm going to need an alarm though, as I plan to ride to work soon and well I work over night and the parking lot is empty during that time. I am just looking for a paging alarm because I can park the bike right down the hall from my office area. As for tracing wires.. well that is fun for me.. I just need a clue where to start and away I go..

As for what cover I took off, there is a rubber type of cover right below where the clutch cable connects to the clutch and well from the manual that is what I read to uncover and start to work out from there.. It worked great for me.. you have to turn the handle bar tightener for the clutch all the way in.. then behind that rubber cover loosen the lock bolt and back out the screw then tighten up the screw till you have tension then back it out 1 turn. After that you hold the screw in place and tighten your lock bolt... you will have some free play in the cable then you tighten up the cable by backing out where the cable is connected to the clutch. Then you have to have a lot of foreplay with her until you get that spot just right for you... :biggrin

If you found bearings in that cover, it is time to replace the clutch pivot before it fails on you (and it will), so I would start looking for a new/used one. :)

Anyone know how hard this is to change out??? I am just curious before I dive into something like that.. I'm about to look through my manual I have, but not easy to search through being it is a pdf..

Oh and is it actually called a clutch pivot???

Not sure that is the correct name for it.
It should be easy, remove the alan bolts holding in the countershaft cover (I think 5 of them), remove the shift linkage from the shift rod, slide the cover off, turn it over so you can see the inside of it, disconnect the cable and unbolt the pivot.

Reverse the process to install it and then adjust once installed.
