Clutch Replacement Parts
08/24/15 at 07:26:41
 
Hey Everyone,

I will be undertaking a clutch replacement in a few months. I am gathering items I need.

So far just:
+Friction plates
+Gasket
+Perhaps a new clutch cable just for peace of mind?

And yes I read about how it may not be needed for my bike but due to me being hard on the clutch, learning engine braking. It is slipping and losing power.

I have been always using Rotella T6 and I am now at around 50,000 km and most of it done in a very congested city area. I have tried to adjust the clutch and it did not help. I considered clutch rod, but that seems a bit complex for me, so I will just take on replacing the clutch.

Replacing the clutch rod is less than half as complicated as the replacement of the friction discs.

Is the end of the lever at the engine between the two marks on the case.....when you lightly push up on the lever?

looks like it needs a new rod to me.

There are two marks on the case behind the lever and you look to be over the top one.

There are 3 replacement rods, fairly cheap, get 1 of each.
I custom grind mine so I get 12.5mm of rod protruding from the clutch pack.

Thanks guys, I bought all 3 rods from a local parts store. Will come soon.

Which clutch rod is ideal to use?

The longest one that will fit under the cover w/out activating the clutch.
As I said, I shoot for 12.5mm sticking out.  13 is too much, 12 too little.
