hollisatp Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 I had problems wit this clutch. I would shift and it would slip for a second, then catch and hold.. I had a problem with coolant entering my gear case. I used ATF to try to clean it all out, but when I drained it this time, there was a little bit of the gray sludge left.. I was curious to knw if the clutch looks worn, or it was the leftover collant that caused the clutch to slip? Quote
killshee Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 get a side angle pic lol and looks a lil shiney idk if u could like hit it with some rly fine paper or scotch bright to take away the glaze just my OP Quote
2strokecook Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 were you actually loosing collant or was it water entering through a vent line or such? Quote
sleeper06 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 Its hard to see in that light .If the steels are bluing and burnt time to change,Ive also found bluing plates and people didnt want to spend money so they got put back in ! Also look at the thickness of steels and fibers they sometimes wear thin causing problems Quote
hollisatp Posted February 18, 2009 Author Report Posted February 18, 2009 well the pads are a little glazed.. I think from slipping because of the coolant... my high flow impellor was not a good one and a ring wore into it alowing collant in through the seal.. the steel looks ok. no blueing at all.. Quote
sleeper06 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 It doesnt look horrible ,if your tight on money leaveit.I have a serious problem with replacing stuff for shits and giggles so you might wantanother opinion.Thank you for trying to help #1 banshee in glamis,his bike will be at my house sat.. I think he worped something due to detonation,thats why o-ring wont hold, Quote
hollisatp Posted February 18, 2009 Author Report Posted February 18, 2009 oh no shit? no prob.. greg is a good guy.. he was probably the calmest person I ever me in a situation like that! So do you think sanding the pads slightly would help? Right now I am only running 3 HD springs.. should O go for all 6? Quote
sleeper06 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 With your mods I would stay 3 heavy 3light,scuff them with scotch brite pad,greg is a chill guy ill see what happened to his shit on sunday Quote

hollisatp Posted February 18, 2009 Author Report Posted February 18, 2009 (edited) hey sleeper.. one couple more questions.. I put it back together and am trying to adjust the cable.. The book says to tighten the bearing adjuster (pancake) until the arrows line up on the case and the cable holder.. but nothing moves when I tighten the adjuster on the clutch basket.. the only time it moves is when I unscrew the cable at the lever, but then I cannot get the arrows to line up.. any help appreciated.. the only thing it says is that I cannot get it to adjust right, the cable might be streched too far???

What you need to do is hold your clutch lever right were the pressure first starts on the handle then adj the screw in you bearing on you clutch till the arrows line up. The lever you are lining the arrow up with will not move till you put pressure on the clutch lever. You wnat to just feel the cltuch pressure when the arrows line up. Quote
hollisatp Posted February 19, 2009 Author Report Posted February 19, 2009 cool i got it to work right.. thanks! Quote
