Clutch Basket rebuild

[ddaniels]

Got mine off and the springs are all loose in the back of the basket. But it looks like somebody already tried shimming the large springs. They're not washers, rather a washer looking thing with a nipple that sticks down inside the i.d. of the spring. But, they're still loose. I'd like to either get better springs, or have them shimmed. Anybody near Dayton who could help me out with this? Or, does anybody have a heavy duty basket for my '81 1000G? Looking for options here. I tried turning the springs until they kind of snugged up, but I'm not satisfied with that venture. Thanks for any help!

John Pearson at Pearson Racing can fix it. His # is 937-839-9723. He is in West Alexandria, Ohio. Ray

Thanks. I don't really want, or need, the heavy duty rebuild with the thicker backing plate. Just want a non-rattley clutch. But I'll give John a call and see what my options are.

Bite the bullet, spend the money ONCE, & you'll never have to touch the thing again! Ray.

Right up the road. Worth it just to go see his shop and talk to him I reckon. More knowlege in that brain than just about the whole collective here good guy too.

I hear ya all, and if money were no object, I'd get the rebuild in a hearbeat. But frugality is also a factor in my decision....unfortunately.

How frugal is it if the basket breaks & kills your engine?!!! Ray.

Seriously, how often do we ever hear of something like that happening with just touring type riding?? Anybody? Sorry Ray, but I just can't relate to the urgency/necessity of this.

I've read both of these. What's the point?
