Getting ready to install woodcraft engine covers on my 2006 gsxr1000 and wondering if there's anything special i need to know. Look's like a pretty straight foward job. Thank's
Watch for the exploding snakes when you take the left side case cover off. It's an easy job. I've seen/heard the magnets on the stator side giving first-timers a hard time, but if you take your time with it, it'll be simple.
on the '06-'07 gix 600s, there's a screw hiding behind the idle gear cover. Had to take that out first, don't know if the 1000 is the same, but something to check. After I figured out there was another screw I'd missed, it came off easily!
Also, be sure to red loctite the screws for the slider plates. I installed one on my 01 Gsx-R and had to take it all back apart just to loctite the screws.
+1 Being the anal type, I clean the male and female threads with brake cleaner to remove any machine oil residue, then the red loctite. No likey metal getting loose inside the motor (or oil leaks).
