here is a quick run down.
i got the bike in my garage. 03 cb919
bike has been torn down part way and came with box of parts.
starter side case was already off when i got it.
came with parts box that had a new case cover and starter drive gear that sits behind the fly wheel.
fly wheel was replaced by prior owner, but gear behind it was not.
prior owner said he gave up when he couldn't get the case cover to sit properly.
So I take over from where he left off.
I put a socket on the center bolt and turn to see if it turns true.
No, it turns warped. That is what keeps the case from sitting flush. The fly wheel hits the case when it turns.
I assume this means the crank itself is bent??????
Thus needing a new motor???
I assume this is a parts bike now or is there still hope???
what do ya think E????
