After further thought, let's just go over this piece by piece: You have all the parts out, clutch and boss, so you have only the shaft sticking out. So now you slide the clutch boss onto the shaft, then the thrust washer which slides right over and past the spline. If it doesn't slide past the spline then the boss has not meshed properly with the oil pump gear and you need to aline those two. Getting your fingers behind the boss may be tight, you then you slide the clutch basket onto the shaft and then the locking washer with the nut which you then torque. Now you put the clutch plates into the basket, the first plate goes in with the large, single square cut out lined with the markings on the basket (2 dots on the shorter tangs), install a steel plate and the another fiber plate at which time you now install the ciri-spring. After that comes the rest of the plates alternating them between fiber and steel with the double cut outs now lined with the marks on the basket. Now install the pressure plate. You'll find a dot on the outside of the pressure plate and a corresponding on the basket, these need to be lined up or things won't work right. Install the springs and cover and you should be good to go,,,, unless, as Goose says, there is an air bubble in the master. Sometimes this air bubble can be removed by simply working the handle a little bit, just enough to move the piston. You'll need to remove the master cover to be able to watch for any air coming out. It's also a good idea to remove any old fluid from the master and clean all debris out of there before you start. You can do this with a syringe and some brake cleaner, or contact cleaner. Just make sure that all is dry and clean before you pour in the new fluid. This is the right time to be anal about something. Hope this helps some, can be thoroughly frustrating when it won't come together right, sometimes it's just a little thing that turns out to be a show stopper.

I just had mine out yesterday and I would think that it should be more like 3\16 than 3\32. Did you aline the marks on the pressure plate with the clutch boss? It's a little dot mark and there is only one way they fit together. If they're not matched up, you'll not get the spread you need and it won't disengage,,, don't ask me how I found this out.

Ann and Evan stopped by yesterday,,, spent about 1.5 hours talking about their trip,,, what an awesome time they had,,, they seen beautiful country, practically no rain, and no problems that they couldn't handle on the road. I think I would like to have their trip map. Anybody want to go for a ride? We'd be back in 35 days.

Did you pull the shaft out and loose the ball bearing?
-
Are you trying to keep this thread from going south, by talking NORTH, so we get blamed again?

Check to make sure that the lugs on the ends of the battery cables are tight. -
Don't you worry about us none dear Aussie,,,, this kind of thing has been going on for years and the Canucks always win.
-
So what seems to be the problem,,, being equated with Charlie (he can be nice sometimes) or maybe I should have referred to you as Little S.Disturber, but then you wouldn't be BIG enough to have one let alone .
-
I retired as well,,, just can't figure out from what.
-
You got the thrust washer in the wrong place I bet.
-
It was great to have you, and being the first to meet you on North American soil. I suppose that's why you behaved so well, we got to train you right,,, well at least we tried, but then there was Charlie,, and Big Tom,,, and then you went south.... so what can I say,,,,, butt,,, come back soon ,yahere?

Carl's back for one week, haven't rode too much lately so will try to stay in the saddle for a while,,,,,, YA!!!!!
-
Seems like you two had a great ride, and a good time. Sounds like we all enjoyed having you,, and those who didn't must have forgot to post.... can't imagine though that that even happened, except if somebody got moosed too often. Have a great flight home, and hope to see you two again. We'll try to look after America wile you're gone.

You talking about me again?

could use a few prayers.
Marcarl replied to oldgoat's topic in Inspirational, Motivational, Prayer Requests, Etc.
We will be worried over you and so ask for healing, both physical and for the spirit. -
We'll pray for comfort for all of you and that through all this you might find a blessing as well.

Ran out?
-
Well at least you had the opportunity to find out what a REAL bike is like:stirthepot:, but if you enjoy a Harley more,,, that's your choice,,, enjoy it.

Wasn't my fault,,,,heck Charlie was here at the time,, I was an angel.
-
Starting to sound like fun already, almost ideal,,,,,,,now for approval! So what's to do there anyways,,,, besides Darien Lake, Letchworth, Finger Lakes, Niagara Falls, Beautiful Roads and we could all be together,,,camping and hotel.
-
Some little inner voice told you to gear up? Glad you listened and even gladder that you managed to come through it in good shape. Time to count your blessing.
-
Now you got me thinking,,, I mean just thinking,,,,, how many rides to NY would it take to organize, and how many times could I get you over the border. Need to have camping and hotel close together,,, or cabins or a big house with lots of yard and a swimming hole, and a good cook to make breakie. HUMMMM you got me thinking!!!! Sounds like it could be a fun time.
