Author Message   Hogluvr Posted on Sunday, February 12, 2012 - 09:51 pm:        I'm sure my parts books have the old number, don't wanna buy another grendade!   Jramsey Posted on Sunday, February 12, 2012 - 09:57 pm:        39975-90A   Buellathebuzzer Posted on Monday, February 13, 2012 - 06:35 am:        so, would someone care to say something about the "exploding" primary chain tensioner? on what models and years did the tensioner "explode."   Jramsey Posted on Monday, February 13, 2012 - 08:18 am:        Mid year 2000 and earlier had the old style thin plate/crack/wedge/tear up the primary style.   Willyboy386 Posted on Monday, February 13, 2012 - 12:18 pm:        HI New style adjuster JP Cycles part # 6000464 http://www.jpcycles.com/product/6000464   Ltbuell Posted on Monday, February 13, 2012 - 01:44 pm:        Also,Al at American Sport Bike has them for $22.30.Just a thought.LT   Buellistic Posted on Monday, February 13, 2012 - 02:15 pm:        The shoe bracket is what brakes ... The reason the EARLY BRACKET broke is because the FACTORY SERVICE MANUAL is wrong on the primary chain adjustment which is TOO TIGHT(it should be 3/4 inch loose on the tight spot) ... Rather than correct the adjustment specification they made a stronger shoe bracket ... The way you learn that you are adjusting the primary chain TOO TIGHT is the primary chain will wear a DEEP GROVE in the plastic shoe ... While you have the PRIMARY COVER off you should replace the CLUTCH "GRENADE PLATE" which is called a SPRING PLATE PN 37977-90 ... The "GRENADE PLATE" is replaced with TWO STEEL PLATES PN 37913-90 and ONE FRICTION PLATE PN 37911-90 ... With this PRODUCT IMPROVEMENT you will have the same thing as what the AFTERMARKET CLUTCH suppliers sell as a RACING CLUTCH ...   Hogluvr Posted on Monday, February 13, 2012 - 07:55 pm:        Thanks guys, Well, you ended up answering my next question too. I guess the '01 and '02 are safe, the '99 is the one that got grenaded, and I'll replace the one in the '96 before she gets back on the road, thanks!!   Buellistic Posted on Monday, February 13, 2012 - 08:45 pm:        NOTUBE FRAME clutch is "SAFE" if it has a "GRENADE PLATE" in the clutch !!! (Message edited by buellistic on February 13, 2012)   Buellathebuzzer Posted on Monday, February 13, 2012 - 09:47 pm:        Was this the subject of a recall?   Bluzm2 Posted on Monday, February 13, 2012 - 10:59 pm:        No, jut a running change in mid 2000. (for the tensioner)   Buellistic Posted on Tuesday, February 14, 2012 - 08:08 am:        BUELLathebuzzer: "GRENADE PLATE" was not a recall, just a money maker for HARLY-DAVIDSION from riders that did not remove it ...   Buellathebuzzer Posted on Tuesday, February 14, 2012 - 08:47 am:        I'm going to plead ignorance on this one. The term "Grenade Plate" does kind of sound like the whole bike will blowup. I understand now that what's at danger is other clutch parts. Every day I learn something new on Badweb.   Buellistic Posted on Tuesday, February 14, 2012 - 09:06 am:        What happens when the "GRENADE PLATE" starts to go bad is that it starts to come apart ... It first destroys the CLUTCH PLATES which in turn destroys the CLUTCH BASKET with FRAGMENTED PARTS getting on the PRIMARY CHAIN and into the TRANSMISSION GEARS ... The "PRODUCT IMPROVEMENT" requires: two STEEL PLATES PN 37913-90 one FRICTION PLATE PN 37911-90 to replace the "GRENADE PLATE" ie: SPRING PLATE PN 37977-90 ... THIS PLATE WAS REMOVED FROM ALL EVO SPORTSTER CLUTCHES FROM 2001 on ...   Fahren Posted on Tuesday, February 14, 2012 - 09:51 am:        http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/476 23/512406.html?1257890785
