Documentation

I try to do as much documentation as possible to help aid reassembly, (i.e. photographs, diagrams, laying things in order, zip-lock bags) organization is key.

Engine

Here are a couple shots of the engine once I pulled it from the frame of the bike.

Tear Down

Not the best picture ever but, I just started stripping things off and eventually got to the engine. Make sure to keep all bolts and washers, small parts, sealed in zip-lock bags so reassembly is a breeze. This older Japanese bike came fitted with a lot of Phillips fasteners that strip extremely easily even with the most caution. I recommend investing in a screw extractor set.
