I've done this as well. Works great for getting oil to all the places it should be before you actually fire it up. Did you get your wires sorted?

Not that I can remember, but I only pulled one of those a part a while back and truly wouldn't remember. If you are worried, put some yamabond on both sides and call it a day. NOT RTV...that crap should be nowhere near a motorbike. That one is just so water and dirt is kept out, not to keep fluid in.

Well got the brakes back together and bleed. Great lever. I have an 81 kz1000 amd its lever is nothing like this honda (rock hard). Put the clutch slave back togerther and i have a slight resistance all the way thru. Is that how it is supposed to be? when i turn the key on its in neutral and i can shift to second but not first. is this right? im thinking a test ride not sure what to do?

Have you never had a hydraulic clutch? (not a negative question, just asking 
)
You pulled the puck out of the clutch slave correct? (like cleaning a brake caliper when you pop the pistons out to clean under them/replace seals) Again, not trying to insult your intelligence. Here's some pics of when I did it on a Super Magna last summer. You have to make sure the inside is CLEAN as can be. I dunked the piston in brake fluid before I put it back in too...I know the brake rebuild grease is better...but here it is, works great. There should of course be some resistance as you should be pushing the rod into the clutch plates. Next step could be breaking the plates free, as they may have stuck them selves together over the time they sat. Usually just running the bike for a bit will get a "slightly" stuck set to let go. Holding the clutch in, and putting it in gear will also help with this (still hold the clutch lever)
