blind leading the blind
firstly big thumbs up to the guys helping out so far, much appreciated. Im re-installing the clutch after a long teardown that stalled over summer and have just replaced the cush springs with mikes kit, and ippytattoo sorted me out with his clutch plate upgrade too.
i had to face the bolts a little to address some contact issues with the block which ive sorted and on the advice from ippytattoo and toomanyxsb1s have addressed the issues - the driven gear and primary gear are sitting flush with no overhang as suggested. so everything seems fine there.
I have a 76' so a mid run clutch which has no locking nut and a slightly different stacking sequence for the install with an extra washer im told instead of the lock nut. but my first washer (the 1mm that rests against the bearing face) has a larger ID, its the same washer used with the needle bearing further along. all the others Ive seen are a smaller 22mm i think ID.
when i checked out the xscafe.com it says there that the washer should rest against the bearing outer and seat into the face somewhat which mine does.. so im wondering if this is a problem at the start or not as there are more issues down the line.
when i get to the inner housing after i install the needle bearing it doesnt sit flush with the splined end it sits proud about 2mm.
also i can hear metal on metal contact nothing major major but i was under the impression that the internal hub spins freely inside the whole setup when in nuetral? am i corecct here? if so this sounds a bit noisy to me as it has a brand new needle bearing. also there are wear marks from the PO or whoever did the clutch on the rear between the mating faces (i had to ride it home with no clutch when i bought it for 80km in the rain
)
finally when i put the large nut on i was told to torque to 58lbs? i couldnt find this in my clymer... but that completely locks the clutch up altogether so it wont even turn the primary drive or anything so somethings not right i suspect?
