First thing, open a Photobucket account and download the pictures you want to share to that site. Select the downloaded photobucket photo and then select the URL link code IMG. A response comes back copied. Go to the VRCC site and select the picture icon. The latter will download a couple IMGs in brackets. You need to paste the copied URL code from photobucket in the middle of the VRCC IMG brackets. If you end up with two sets of IMG brackets, one set needs to be eliminated. Click preview and see if it worked. If not, keep trying and asking questions. Also, use the search engine to find answers too. FWIW

If you use the IMG code as Salty said you dont need to use the image button and the brackets......they will automatically be applied when you post that link in the body of your message

Well never got to take a look at things today.  I do have though a starter on the way and the lead tech at the other shop (i work at a satellite store to the bigger dealership) gave me all new float valves.  With the weather going on right now, prob not going to be working tomorrow.  As soon as I can get to work and have the time to fix it without having to go pick up and move around more units we will see.  Maybe it's a good time to ask for prayers about the case and gears.  Because I ride year round there is no such thing as a winter project for me... not much can be done about having only one mode of transportation.

Very well then sir.....prayers offered up for your case and gears.....and your sanity over all this.

Lots of pics.  The damage was limited to the starter gear, the gear in between the starter gear, the idler gear, the pin that the little (intermediate?) gear rides on and the rear case itself.  The bike now has a pingle valve on it as well as new float valves.  While I was in there I desmogged the motor as well...
