lewis_gasgas Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Right i know that this topic has been mentioned maybe more than once but i need it sorting fast as i maybe getting another bike and it needs sorting really things i need to know is. Quickest and Easiest way to getting all the clutch plates out to measure them ? Is there a special tool i need to measure them with ? How much about is the plate that you have to get to make it up ? The Required distance between all the plates and what i need to make it to? think thats about it will let you know if theres anything else but if you could answer them than i can crack on and get it done either start this weekend or during week. Hopefully dont fancy taking whole engine out... Cheers in advance Lewis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seandellear Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 (edited) Hi! No need to drain gearbox oil just lay the bike down on some blankets. Remove all bolts around the clutch casing and water pump. (no need to drain coolant, contained in pump and sealed) With a twelve point 7mm socket remove the small bolts around the clutch, keep these safe they get lost very easily! lol Remove the spring and retaining ring that the bolts go through. Remove the thick outer plate and the little fingers that point to the center of the clutch. The clutch plates will now be able to be removed! (3 fibre, 2 steel) With a vernier calliper or micrometer measure the thickness of the clutch pack. It should be between 9.75mm and 9.85mm. Any more than this the clutch will drag, any less may slip and will be heavier than is meant to be! Sorry don't know how much a different stell plate is! Hope this helps you out mate! cheers, Sean P.S Remember to buy a new clutch case gasket before doing it as the old one, if anythig like mine, may self destruct while removing!

Before you remove the small bolts on the clutch, take out the centre allen bolt and the whole assembly comes out in one piece. You can then work on it on a bench just in case you drop a small screw into the engine!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
