clutch
Posted: Sun Sep 13, 2009 9:37 pm
just bought a zxr400l from another forum member and need a little bit of input.
the clutch rattles like a bag of nuts in a biscuit tin, when the lever is pulled it all goes away. I know this is common but it is real bad.
i have stripped the plates out and although there is some blueing on the slipper plates everything measures up to be within the working tolerances.
however if you get hold of the clutch basket you can rock it ( if it was a wheel the bearings are well shot )
is this normal for these, if has a slipper clutch in and that is why i ask ( never had one before).
i have tried unsuccesfully to remove the centre nut ( snapped a 18" socket bar ) will have it off tomorrow with a impact air gun from work
any input would be off assistance i nelieve the centre bearing that the whole clutch assembly sits on is shot and is there an up rated one available perhaps from another model
