charliechitlins Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 In general, if it spins clockwise gets a left-hand nut. As for holding the clutch, you can jam a rag in the primary chain, or you can put the bike in gear and lock down the rear brake. I once saw in an old repair manual, putting the bike in gear and feeding a length of rope into the sparkplug hole to keep the engine from turning, but I've never tried it. For Harleys, I just have a clutch plate with a steel bar attached. The bar is long enough to hit the ground (or lift) and stop the clutch hub from spinning.

brian r Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 I've done the rope deal. It works good. A honda manual I was reading recently said to jamb a penny in the primary gears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
