2005 YFZ crank bearings

[parkerwarn]

Anyone out there ever messed with a yfz?
So... On my 2005 YFZ 450, I forgot to put the clips and screws that hold the crank bearing in place in on one side. Will it hurt anything?
I don't wanna take the motor back apart.
THANKS!

yup, those hold side load on the bearing to prevent wobble and eventual failure. I would ensure those are in place before riding or you will have a catastrophic crank failure and some point.

I don't know how to answer this without sounding like a prick, so I apologize in advance. Go back and reread your question and if you can't find the answer within your own question, you have no business messing with that engine. No one with half a mechanical brain is going to tell you the answer your looking for. You already know what has to be done.
