Only read through it once in manual but clutch plate replacement isn't as straightforward as I had imagined. Doing this (destroyed stock plates after riding away from a lowside in a high gear) and a primary reduction kit install. Any tips or advice for these would be great. | ||

Did it wreck the basket? | ||

Haven't opened it up. Pretty sure just wore plates out from overheating. Five min 3mph high rpm ride in dirt in 3rd gear. | ||

Not real hard,need to pull primary cover and stator/clutch basket, then press diaphragm to get at the snap ring and spring seat,plates come right out.You can probably fake something up with a good vise if you don't have a press. Have a good long lever to get the stator nut off and torqued back to proper setting. | ||

Jim, I know you know better...but you don't remove the basket to replace just the clutch plates, you can do that with the basket on the bike. BUT, if you DO need to remove the basket, what Jim said. And remember, a bunch o f the service manuals still say 190 ft-lbs on the front nut, but a service bulletin changed it to 240 ft-lbs. And don't forget, the clutch basket nut is left handed. Al | ||

Thanks for the clarification Al. Worth removing it Yo inspect for more internal damage or is it more trouble than it's worth? |
