Well was going to just soak my clutch plates as I think they may be dry from some of the symptoms I have experienced. Well I said bag it and bought the Barnett Clutch Spring Conversion part #511-90-10033 and a Clutch Kit part #306-90-10073 from Phat Performance Parts in Laguna Hills, CA. To the door total price was $320.16 that was with a 5% discount, free shipping, 2.00 insurance to PA.
So here is the set up shot.
I used a spotless drain pan and Mobile Delvac for the soak. Interesting Barnett includes a slip of paper telling you to soak the plates for 10 -15 minuets and longer soak times will do nothing for the plates. Interesting in light of the Forum wisdom of 24 hours. It is going to be a long soak for me as I wont be able to tear into it until Sunday and they been in oil since 6:00 pm tonight! Have rattled them around and will flip them all tomorrow morning.
Another shot and you can see the odd plate out if you look at the top one. It is solid material stripe with no spaces like the others. I assume this will be the first plate in, but will know for sure when I open it up.
So Sunday armed with a new gasket I will jump into this and see how it goes, and if my OE clutch plates are really dry.
Been a busy week.
Pinned the Givi
Pinned the side bags
Mount and Balance new PR 2's
Spline Shaft Lube
All brake calipers cleaned
Edit: Side Bag Screws Loctite
Edit: Install Metal Valve Stems
To DO:
Barnett Clutch and Spring Conversion
Wax Bike
