andrew3160 Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Okay, So I have heard that many people cut a small hole about and inch to two inch's in diameter in the center of the clutch cover so you can adjust the pancake bearing on the fly. If there is no sort of rubber seal that is on the plate that will cover the hole what can I use. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papa_smurf49319 Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 I have a little hole in the clutch cover i added to adjust the stocker, mine has a rubber ring and a rubber plate and has never leaked. I plan on enlarging the hole next time i have the cover off so i can adjust the pancake with ease. That being said, i am using the stock plastic cover and not a billet piece!

White97Banshee Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 I would like to see a pic of someone who has done this! I have a Cascade billet insert on my clutch case with an o-ring on the outside so it SHOULD seal well with a hole drilled.. But I want to see others who have done this first. It is absolutely rediculous to have to drain the oil and pull the clutch case off whenever i need to adjust it even the slightest bit..

I have a buddy that bought a brand new 1999 from Cascade/ Florence Yamaha. When he got it, it had a hole in the clutch cover and they used one of their billet inserts to seal it up.

I have a cascade clutch cover with one of their billet inserts.. would I literally just drill a hole in the case big enough to adjust the pancake bearing and make sure the o-ring seals well on the billet insert?

True but if your on a budget then that goes out the window. I wont be around my bike tell this weekend and ill snap some pics of it when i pull it off to enlarge it. Been running with it like that since 2004 and neer once ever had the slightest amount of moisture or leak around the insert. Tranny is always full. Ran 10w40 with that mod, type f and never seen any signs of leakage. I agree that you shouldnt have to be adjusting your clutch all that often to need this mod (leave yourself room at the perch), but it does make it nice if ya need to get in there quick.

papa_smurf49319 Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 Thats fine, ill try and rember to snap a pic this weekend when im home, but dont feel like you have to wait! Its simple and nothing will go wrong, just make sure you have the rubber seals. The one seal actually has a hole in it from factory that you can use to center punch you a guide as it is right where the adjuster is, just lay it on, punch threw that hole and drill however big you need it! Simple. Cody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
