clutch basket slop

[ddaniels]

Should I be able to grab the clutch basket and wiggle
it back and forth a little?

[ddaniels]

Should have mentioned it's a 1984 1100GK.

If you want a rattle at idle it is good for that.

Is the basket loose on the shaft or is the whole shaft moving when you wiggle it?

I installed a brand new one on my 1150 this year and it had a bit of movement, but far less then the old one. (Video is of the old one )

No, I'm pretty sure it's just the basket moving.
And at idle, it does rattle. If I take the oil filler cap off
while idling, the rattle is very loud coming out of the hole.

First step would be to tighten the nut that holds the basket.

If that does not stop the rattle, you might have to rebuild or replace the basket.

Pretty much the same all round:

Hey Dorkburger, I clicked on your picture and it took me to a very disturbing pornographic video. What's up with that!!

WHAT? I always proofread and check any links before posting, and it worked when I posted it. Just checked it, and the clutch image comes up, but won't play. Wierd.

I took the clutch apart the other night. The center nut seemed tight enough. Pull the basket and the slop is in the little roller bearings the basket rides on. Anybody know how much "slop" is considered ok?
