Marcarl Posted April 18, 2015 Share #2 Posted April 18, 2015 Just don't make the clutch bolts too tight. Use an inch lb torque wrench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midicat Posted April 18, 2015 Author Share #4 Posted April 18, 2015 Would you recommend gasket sealant on new gasket? 8 ft/lbs = 96 in/lbs. right? Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongobobny Posted April 18, 2015 Share #5 Posted April 18, 2015 Yup! 8 x 12 = 96! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcarl Posted April 18, 2015 Share #6 Posted April 18, 2015 Iffin you has a new gasket you'll not need the sealant, only makes a mess for next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midicat Posted April 18, 2015 Author Share #12 Posted April 18, 2015 Sorry Carl. I went to see Sally at work in Kitchener instead. She's much prettier than you. The new clutch works great! I see a new potential problem with it though. No more slipping at all and because of that, I find that I am cranking the throttle a lot more often. Man, this isn't the same bike! What a thrill.

Thomas I found a similar issue when I got my clutch to stop slipping, a sudden drop in gas mileage....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
