Check all bearings.

Check wear on piston, rings and bore.

Check balancer shaft for wear.

File away worn tines on clutch basket with a smooth file.

Check for broken teeth on gears and worn dogs on gear change and finally selector drum.

I.E. In case I've missed something - Check everything.

Replace crank seals as a matter or course and check all other seals.
