Well its going but its not perfect yet. Still having a few issues. I think the valves need adjusting, since I have never checked them, need new intake boots, and possibly have a bad bearing. Have a little noise in the bottom end, and the bike was run for a while with the timing advancer stuck at max advance. So now I am bracing for a teardown. Would be my first on a bike, but have done several car engins so I think I can handle it. Just have a tight budget at the moment, so may take a while.

750 sorry i did'nt get back to you sooner i lost track of the post,I have my front bevel drive apart rite now,i don't think the shafty likes what the engine is giving it, .Answer to your earlier question ,the collar that has the dust cap on the end of it has to be pressed out,both of my bearings on that shaft took a sh$t,the outer bearing on that shaft will slide out,yes you have to remove the nut from the end of the shaft,the inner bearing is a press fit,so you would need a bearing separator and a press to remove it,that leaves the 2 bearing races inside the collar,the outer race can be removed w/ a drift and a hammer,the inner race you need to be a magician to remove,i chucked the collar up in my vice and ran 2 small beads of weld on the race and removed it w/ a hook & pick,you being the mechanic should know that old trick, don't tell anyone we'll keep that one a secret,lol.Anymore questions on the bevel drive jus gimme a hollar i'll be glad to assist you however i can.
