Remove the sprocket cover, 4 x 8mm screw.

Remove the starter cover (3 x 8mm screw),  ATTENTION!!! the starter gear drive have 2 washer at each end, make sure they are there! Remove the 2 bottom 8mm screw (they hold the ALT cover) inside housing.
 

Remove all other 8mm screw around the ALT cover. Pull on it hard. This is a 2 parts Alternator/rotor called a stator. The wiring part are in the cover and the magnet is on the engine side.
 

General view.
 

Well, in my case, NO gasket what so ever! On either side, just some small trace of old gasket. So, no gasket, very small, leak I'm impress with Japanese machining!
 

Remove all trace of old gasket with a razor blade and/or some scotch guard and brake cleaner.
 

New gasket and some Locktite 518, i don't trust gasket, but that's me.

Cleaning of the starter cover.
 

Another view
 

The old gasket is fine, just add some 518 and that thing will be seal for a long time.
 
 

Next, the carburator jetting.... in my case the carb was remove, very easy.

Remove both gas cable, unscrew the 10mm nuts (left side of engine)

Remove choke from handle bar, it's faster this way

Loose the 2 clamp (right side of engine)

Gently pry the the air filter boot with a big screw driver of anything softer.

Twist the carb out

You can remove the carb with all hoses so you don't forget where they go.
