Now to figure out what crankcase sealer to use.

The manual calls for Yamaha-4 ACC-11001-05-01 which has a new part number of ACC-BOND4-MC-00.

I checked the MSDS for the product and it is ThreeBond #1215

"This is an oxime type single-component, moisture-curing, silicone based liquid gasket. It has relatively low viscosity, so it is easy to apply. It has excellent chemical resistance and can be used as an FIPG (Formed In Place Gasket) for engine oil pans and gear cases, etc., in addition to general purpose sealing applications."

Subaru also uses Threebond #1215 and lists equivalents as 3M T-3 #08670 Black Silicone or Loctite/Permatex #599 Ultra-Grey.

I could have used the search feature here 1st and found out that RPM uses Permatex Ultra Black. This product does have a wider temperature range.

If Randy uses it and says it's good, it's probably good.

And it's color coordinated.

I'm wondering about the roller detent arm I received.

Attached is the picture of the RPM unit pictures from their web site and pictures of what I received.

Did I receive the right part?

[RPM - Robert]

Yes. It has been superceded to a new part number and the design changed. It is still a ball bearing roller unlike the stock detent which was not.

Thank you - I like this design. I could be wrong, but it appears stronger.

I'm torn on using the spring. Seems there are a lot of opinions.

If I was going to be riding this a lot, I'd probably stick to stock.

But this one is not going to be a "distance rider" of any magnitude.

Leaning towards the stiffer spring.

There's that old expression; Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one...

Use the spring provided with the detent roller as that is designed for that application and other springs could result in missed shifts.

Too funny

FYI to those that are interested.

[FJ1200W]

Red or blue loctite of the shift detent arm bolt?

The manual is not clear on which to use......

Blue and safety wire it is 

[FJ1200W]

I like increased surface contact and the bearing.
I'd like to see a bearing on the other side as well.

I'm happy - but I may redo my safety wire.

[FJ1200W]

1st attempt at safety wire

[FJ1200W]

I am feeling a little blessed that the old Yamabond 4 or whatever was used on the cases is cleaning up with CRC Brakleen (Brake cleaner) and microfiber cloths.

It's going to take some time but time I have.

Installed the starter drive.

Twice.

See why?
