batshee Posted October 2, 2008 Author Report Posted October 2, 2008 ur clutch will probably slip alot... sorry ive never ran a bike with a bad /slipping clutch can some one explain how that feels Quote
1996dragshee Posted October 2, 2008 Report Posted October 2, 2008 just a thought and dont know if it would help or fry ur clutch or whatever but are the bolts u snapped opposite of one another? what if u got heavy duty springs and used them in place of ur stock ones? obviously it would be equal pressure all the way around but...i guess well see what someone else says me personally though i would wait till i had the funds to fix it the right way :thumbsup: Quote

1996dragshee Posted October 2, 2008 Report Posted October 2, 2008 sorry ive never ran a bike with a bad /slipping clutch can some one explain how that feels lol k...remember when u first learned to ride a clutch..all the high rpm reving to get out of first but youre not really going anywhere? its kinda like that Quote
1996dragshee Posted October 2, 2008 Report Posted October 2, 2008 A new inner clutch hub is $30.00, just buy a new one... inner clutch hub shit 30 bucks...better not take the chances any other way lol Quote
dajogejr Posted October 2, 2008 Report Posted October 2, 2008 Two things, it's gonna slip...and more than likely it's going to ruin the clutch. Use a torque wrench...7.5 ft lbs is all you need. That's not much. When I've snapped them in the past..take it apart, and the threads came out pretty easily (because there's usually tranny oil still there). Use a small drill, drill the middle of the bolt and use a phillips or torx screw driver to back it out. I'd bet it comes out pretty easily... But yeah, do NOT run that bike with only three springs.
