Im in. I need it.

Ok. I think im going to test that 5mm rotor because stock one used to shake when braking. If the thinner is more straight, i get another one. Thank you! Again.

Ok, im very glad to know they should work with stock cylinder. The other thing that bothers, is the left disc which is same diameter than right, 298mm, but thickness is stock 7mm and left 5mm. Also the holes are different size. Look at the picture. Do i have incorrect disc here ? May the left...

Hi, i have been searching info for my front brake project. Im not so good with english, so i dont understant all the write ups here. I have -81 special with single disc and i purchased used L-side caliper and disc from germany a while ago. I repaired caliper with new seals and bougth a second...

After few months planning, i decided to change a look of my xs650. I totally dismantled my bike and took many pictures during the project. Biggest thing i wanted to change was the seat. Original seat is quite big and i was looking for smaller flat seat. I found few, but the price was too high...

Yes Leo, balls and rods are installed that order. That little slack seems to be gone after i oiled the sleeve which is center of basket. Side cover and oil installed and motor ran normally. The clutch should work now like a dream. I cant wait to get on road.. Thank you all! Janne

Ok everything is now back on. Clutch plate separation is indeed 2mm. Measured without beer :) Also clutch seems to disengage correctly. Only thing that bothers me is the basket which feels little slack. Is that common? Worn spacer shaft?

Yes Retiredgentleman, thats true :D Sometimes even own wife.. I'll try that 5twins, thank you !

Ok i have to go and measure that. That 5-8mm is from memory after pack of beer..

Yes Retiredgentleman, those marks are lined.

Yes, i left out old bearing and washer. Im a novice with all motors (and english, sorry), but here are lot of instuctions and pics, so im convinced that my clutch is reinstalled according that pic. Whats your opinion of that disengage thing? Should it work after oil filling? Clutch moves about...

Needle bearing came with thrust washer. They go like F and E, right ? See the pic.

Hi, Couple years ago, i noticed my xs650 clutch worm gear has no ball in it so i bought one, but it never fitted there. Ball was right size but there was no slack at all with it. Clutch worked quite well so i drove that summer with smaller worm ball. Now clutch has started slipping and i...

Good video! Im going to try that too. Is that white stuff sealer? What kind of sealer should i use? Where did you put that motor oil?
