use a soft penny she said!
Itll just bend and save the gear she said!
but she never said it was going to feed right through!
i did this on the S2R1000, it did not feed through. or even mark the penny up.
i was not paying attention at how it was placed, and it punched right through it.
you are suppose to make the gears PINCH the penny not PUNCH. so i put it in the wrong way.
oh well. it was a PITA to have to undo that flywheel nut. i red loctited it and torqued it up to 180ft./lbs. it was BEAST to remove.
then the sprag gear was stuck. so i had to summon the power of thor to get the best grip i could and turn the wheel by hand like a steering wheel. but i backed it out and got evverything buttoned up. she turns over just dandy.
waitiing for the gasket to cure a bit then do 2nd tightening down of the bolts then filling her up with some oil and taking her out!
