Thought about making one today just to be done, but I won't be riding it the next 4 or 5 days anyways so I thought it better to wait...

Pulled it back apart today....sure enough my washer is the conical one....very subtle. Reassembled it all and just going to send it. I...

I'll switch them tomorrow

Going back to this plus post 42....mine are assembled as in 42 with the retaining clip first, then the washer and nut...which makes...

Just checked case numbers.....engine is an 82 for what it's worth. Still think maybe I'm chasing a ghost.

I do not know for sure. Supposed to be self adjusting. Not sure how I'd be able to tell. Actually I tried it 2 different ways when...

I'll check again but didn't feel any and tooth patterns looked good. For all I know it could be a normal noise I'm hearing. Like I...

I believe the conical washer serves the same point as the locking tab and shouldn't be my issue. I put the slightly larger thin shim...

This was my initial disassembly a few years ago. It looked like the cover and clutch assembly had never been removed but who knows.

I have to doublecheck but pretty sure my engine is an 81 or 82. Didn't have that washer on initial disassembly and I didn't install...

So that's not how mine is set up. Mine has the pieces from post 42....however I only have 6 friction disc's and 6 steel plates

Do you have a better diagram of that area? There's a washer under the lock plate and nut on mine I believe

What exactly am I watching for? And all of my washers in spacers are set up like your picture.However , I have two different thickness ...

Yes mine is set up like post 42. I will test later or tomorrow snugging the nnut down but even with the thicker of the two #5 washers I...

My bike was shifting fine...just had what I thought was too much noise. This is the fit I'm currently exploring. Should this outer...

I have the correct order just not sure I installed the correct 1mm washer for the needle bearing. Have to get a new battery for my...

I found the other thin washer in my pile of parts....it is in fact slightly thicker than the one I have in there and just barely gives...

There's one small thin washer which is the first one to go on the shaft, then 2 thicker washers which should be identical. One of those...

Ok good Sirs I may have found my issue but need your expertise as this is my first XS. When I install the clutch basket back on I just...

Yeah I went over both sides of the gear just now.....looks completely fine. Definitely no foreign debris or damage from any. Just...

That must be a funny reflection in the pic....gear looks ok. Cush drive springs ok too as far as I can tell.....

Pulling it apart now....with plates and discs out still no noise. Pulling basket next

Would this cause noise or just erratic clutch operation? My clutch seems to work with no issues. I'm also running the hydraulic German...

Bit the bullet and just drained the oil....3 quarts of oil aren't going to break the bank. No signs of the clutch rubbing the cover. I...

I knew it was a very loaded question when I asked

Realistically how far does the bike have to lean to keep oil from flowing out when you pull the clutch cover? I may try taking mine off...

Lol cmon you guys have seen my bike. I can't flop it on its side. It does have a serious lean on the kickstand so maybe it'd be ok.

No I bought a bolt kit from Gary Hoos. I remember diligently looking at your above picture upon reassembly and even measuring washer...

So I just started the bike up and poked around with a stethoscope. Oil pump area and top of the tach drive are quiet. Noise seems to be...

Almost positive thrust washer is in there....originally assembled it without it and went back in and put it in last season. Rotors...

Yeah I have an actual stethoscope tool that I'm going to do this with before pulling anything apart. With the oil pump and tach drive...

Yeah not sure. Was thinking of pulling the tach drive with thrust washer and seeing if it goes away.

Hey guys finally had my chopper out for the first time this season. I've had what I think is a bit of a noisy oil pump from the get go...
