I bought a single replacement friction disc from honda but the groove direction is not the same. Is this a problem?

I made my own washer and had the same problem, but I was able to locate a factory washer. I haven't had a chance to put it in yet due to the bike being at the upholstery shop, but from what you're saying I think I might just order an OE rear cover gasket as well.

Could one of you guys tell me what the name of the oil seal is on the rear cover on the back side of the water pump seal?

I took a look at it and saw what you mean once I got home. I had to drill out a washer to make one work, but I think it's good now.

Sweet! Thanks!

I'm having a hard time following I guess. From what I can tell, once everything has been reinstalled, that lever shouldn't be able to move in and out but only rotate. However I did try to order that washer but they said its no longer available. Any idea as to how thick it might be? Oh, and...

Can I just use any washer that fits? As for the other 2, I don't take all that stuff loose when I changed the stator. Does that mean I did something wrong?

I actually don't have it. It wasn't there when I opened it up. Is it really that important since the shifter peg lever (or whatever you call it) will lock it in place?

You have a picture of this spacer shim? I'm not sure what you're referring to.

I'm in the middle of replacing my stator with a Rick's motorsport stator. I'm pretty much done but I got to wondering about the 3 yellow wires that connect to the rectifier. My question is, does it matter what position the leads are placed in the terminal?

Also the top of the forks aren't flush with the triple trees. They stick up about half an inch so maybe the whole was lowered .5"

on the stand off the stand. I don't know if that helps any. I would like to lower it an inch but I'm unsure about what's already been done. I was told the forks were swapped and the rear shocks measure 12.5"

While its on the center stand?

Anyone have some stock cx500 forks they're willing to measure for me?

Oh and I have been searching but haven't found any absolute answers yet.
