Hey all, I finally got the time to start taking my clutch apart to check out the source of my mysterious rattling and knocking sounds. I haven't been able to get the centre nut off yet because I don't have a holding tool. Just got a few questions:
1) The clutch basket has a bit of play with the large gear, I can move it a couple mm with my hand. Is my assumption correct that this should move tight with the gear, and there must be an issue with the springs between the two parts?
2) With the bike in gear, if I spin the centre hub, it seems that it has a significant amount of free play before it actually is engaging with the chain drive. If I turn it backwards, it also spins freely for a bit before engaging. Seems strange, but is this normal?
