kubiac3 Posted October 12, 2006 Report Posted October 12, 2006 First of I was wondering if the bushing that the clutch basket mounts over is suppose to fit rather tight or if its suppose to slide in and out. It came right out when i took it off now it seems I have to put some force to get it inside the basket. Want to make sure its ok to fit tight before I put the engine back in the bike tomorrow. Also, are the clutch spring bolts special at all or are they just a bolt and washer, it seems the washers dont come off of mine so i was wondering if going to the hardware store and buying some new bolts and washers would cause any problem. I seem to have put the bag of them in a secret spot so noone can find them, not even me. Thanks for the help. Quote

Thanks for the help. your talking about the long bushing with the spiral grooves init? if so it moves... dont use hardware storebolts...order a new set of clutch pressure plate bolts...they are heat treated, Quote
kubiac3 Posted October 12, 2006 Author Report Posted October 12, 2006 Yea im talking about the one with spiral grooves in it. Is there a special way it goes in or what. This is blowing my mind, I took it off, put it in a tub of gear lube with all my clutch parts and now it doesnt go in smooth at all. thanks. Quote

kubiac3 Posted October 12, 2006 Author Report Posted October 12, 2006 Yea, the new clutch basket is a performance engineering, from magic racing. I mean it fits on fine, its just snug, but i remember the bushing spinning inside the clutch basket and gears and being pretty loose. You think it will loosin up once its been heated up from the tranny a bit? Theres no nicks or anything like that in it, and same with the clutch basket and gear. Quote
