clav3 Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 (edited) Don't know if it's all in my head but I've noticed my clutch is a bit grabby with a bit of a shudder. Never done a clutch before but I've read the service manual and it doesn't look too hard. I've just replaced the water pump seals and flushed the oil several times. If needed should all the plates be replaced and should the metal plates be dead flat or should I just try cleaning them. If so which cleaning agent. I don't know exaclty what to look for. Any help appreciated. Edited June 1, 2008 by clav3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copemech Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 Easy enough to get to with the small cover only. Plates should be flat! Usually a warped set will creep and drag o lot! Best to do both sets if they are nackered! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jse Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Easy enough to get to with the small cover only.Plates should be flat! Usually a warped set will creep and drag o lot! Best to do both sets if they are nackered! And if ANYBODY knows about creeping and dragging, Copey does....... Use a piece of glass, carefully, (or a $30,00 granite surface plate...) and lay the steel plate on it, then try to slide a feeler gauge, say .003", in from the side at various degrees around the plate to check it for warp. Sometimes just looking at it from the side will show if the plate is not flat on the glass surface. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copemech Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 (edited) Jon, Just because mi bike exhibits spastic jerkey motions accompanied by strange guttural sounds does not mean my plates are defective! Examine the plates and through them on a flat countertop, if they are done you will know! Particularly if the steels are blued!
