Yes, yes, yes... But there were multiple issues too.

All good. Clutch basket in good shape - no damage. However since it was sitting so long before, it was recommended to take the friction discs out, seperate and oil them up. So clutch it's good. I did adjust the clutch cable at the sprocket level also. Starter clutch all fixed, now is running and rid...

Well I didn't have my book and wanted to start somewhere. Waiting for new starter clutch. In the meantime I figured out the reasons why it wasn't starting with clutch held in. For whatever reason the connector was not connected and tucked away under other wires - now works properly. The kickstand sw...

This is why everything was jammed. Current thought is that a tooth failed and caused it. I wont know until i get it started again if it could be anything else. http://images2.snapfish.com/232323232%7Ffp54364%3Enu%3D3293%3E6%3B%3A%3E%3A%3B5%3EWSNRCG%3D393553%3C28%3A32%3Anu0mrj http://images2.snapfish...

UPDATE: was able to get the starter clutch off. Everything else is working in terms of starter (without chewed up gear), cams are smooth when manually rotating. Going to replace it and hope nothing else is affected. The odd thing is, not sure what actually caused it to begin with.

my book didnt come in yet, how do i get the starter clutch (gear off). i would think counter clockwise but not sure and i dont want to crank too hard in the wrong direction. any thoughts? the teeth are smushed rather than broken off. thinking that is odd too. it has the main bolt in the middle, main...

Nice. Yes I will look through the debri, hoping it is just the basket - but having hat time finding one. I saw other years but not sure the compatibility if any. I wish I could post a photo - I can't believe how it happened. If I can get one up I will. If anyone knows who I can get parts for 93 fzr ...

Ok, the clutch lever side, removed the case and turned with socket and it moved with ease. To your point, I'm thinking cam is good. However removed the brake side, with the actual clutch - boom* teeth all chewed up. Wondering if my clutch cable isn't working properly. Thinking because I couldn't sta...

The one side cranks with ease - believe this is the cam shaft and piston crank. However the clutch gears there's teeth missing. Just not sure if its from the clutch or if its timing teeth (maybe possible). Won't know until get it all out. I saw a vid on YouTube that the valve rocker arms broke and c...

Well... I have more digging to do, but it turns out somebody's missing teeth. Have to wait for my book to come so I can take all apart and clean all the shrapnel out. And replace all that are missing teeth. Guess some teeth binded it up so nothing moving gear wise. Question is, am I going to find pa...

Thanks JM - I'm thinking so too, maybe I'll get lucky - either way I think is great experience for me to learn and get advice from you guys. I just need to grab a haynes manual and time to crack it open. Thank you

-also the smaller connection under the clutch handle was disconnected. But connected and still nothing changed.

Ok - plugs taken out, rusted in top - possibly residual from washing. The tips were a little oily and damp. I have replacements. Still not able to budge when plus out. Thinking something's mechanical. However I want to try and bypass the kickstanf switch. Maybe something not sitting well with it - i...

No luck yet, may get to pulling the plugs this weekend.

I believe there is a switch linked to it stand. Something else I thought was odd too - it would only start in neutral. I always thought most bikes can start as long as clutch was disengaged. Maybe related, or another possible issue.

Ok I will pull the plugs and try the rotation.

Yes there is fresh oil in it. I checked the coolant any looked good so I don't change it.
The kill switch is set to run (: not the average newbie.

Thanks all. More suggestions welcome. I appreciate everyone.
