I should have my Clymer's Manual by Saturday; I'll get started once I settle into my Mom's house. Pics to follow.



For some reason, I couldn't find the clutch cover gasket on BoulevardSuzuki's fiche otherwise I would have ordered it.

The clutch was rebuilt when I bought the bike so I'll do my best to gently remove the cover.

Ed, it is under the CRANK CASE HEADING. They show both the right and left side case coverings. Your clutch cover is a bit hidden by the left case cover pic, though it is there. Just blow up the part pic some and you'll see it.

The one I have is in good condition so I will leave it "as-is".

Clutch Basket Removal

Clutch Basket Removal

I can't get my "T" out of my head...wanna ride while I'm here in LA.

Still waiting on my manual and parts but in the meantime I can start removing the clutch basket. Thanks to Steve, I started by loosening each "7" bolt in a clockwise manner. The tension was gradually released and Clutch Disc Pre came out easy.







Definitely need this for a reference:


Came to a work stoppage because I need a 32mm socket. I used a 1 1/4 Standard to see if I could loosen it but it spun. I need to figure out how to keep the hub from moving which will involve opening up the gear cover and keeping the sprocket nut in-place.

A trip to Harbor Freight is in order for 2 oversized metric sockets.


Ed
 
1-1/4" socket is fine but you need an impact for best results.

if you leave the clutches in the basket you can take a chisel/hammer and shock the large nut loose(at least i have on several occasions when in a pinch).

Get the socket and do the job right... hammer&chisel? Come on

come on what????
if the man has no impact....he has no impact.
you can spin the nut loose with a hammer and chisel.
you have commented on my suggestions in the past..
would you like to compare skills sometime?
i stand by my 25 years of GS work from stock to 300+HP engine builds.
your tone seems to be getting worse PLUS IT'S CHRISTMAS!
go do something christmassy:)


oh,
here's the socket info...
1 1/4 1.2500 31.7500
the SAE socket fit's better than the metric does.

Thanks guys...it's Christmas and Harbor Freight is closed. I planned on getting 2 oversized sockets anyway because I don't wanna fudge this job.

I'm taking my time with this task because I wanna do it correctly. Even though I'm anxious to ride, I can wait for the next step.

Okay...took the clutch basket out. I found out the sprocket and the clutch are not on the same line. After thinking about it, I put her in gear then re-installed the brake pedal to keep the hub from moving and BAM, I was able to loosen the nut.

I slowly removed the rest of the components making sure they are kept the same way they came out. Now I'm waiting for my manual so I can realign the clutch paw and put my clutch back together.

Thanks tkent!

I called BlvdSuzuki today and my order is just being shipped as I type this via UPS. I suspect my parts won't be here till late next week. My plan is to align the paw and then reassemble the clutch basket without replacing the seal. The seal leak is very mild. I anticipated everything would be delivered by this Friday but now I'll take care of this when I return to NM.

Gotta ride at least one weekend here in LA.

Finally I ride in SoCal

Finally I ride in SoCal

I completed the Clutch re-install and just did a functional check on my bike: I'm happy to report everything is in working order!

Took a nice little jaunt on Baseline just west of Fontana. I went through the gears with ease and even 1st gear is easier to get into.

No leak on the gearshift side since I only went 2-3 miles. I am a happy Rider!

Riding in LA...then not

Riding in LA...then not

Yep, I took a ride from the Inland Empire all the way out to Santa Monica then headed over to Dodger Stadium. Was gonna finish up at the Griffith Observatory until I had a break in my ride.

And the Gift Shop


Then a look at my Clutch Cable.


I'm gonna see if I can find one here is LA before I go sourcing one online. I'm very fortunate this didn't happen on the freeway. Made if home safely too.

Always something, just when you think your going to get it paid off.:)

I bet a spare cable could be tucked up under the seat.

Dude!

I'm looking for 1+ a spare cable today...hopefully Cycle Riders in Montclair has what I need. Maybe a braided brake line too!

Update -31Dec2013

Yamaha of Cucamonga ordered me 2 clutch cables...they should be here by Thur/NLT Fri. I also removed the front brake line and bought a braided solid black line from G & J Aircraft in Montclair. I won't describe how the Dot 3 fluid looked from my bike but I'm glad I'm taking care of the front brakes...got new pads too!

Happy New Year!

Ed,

My current cable has a plastic/nylon cup or bushing over the metal knob at the handle. I never saw that before and thought it was a mistake. I think of it now as a smoother means to allow movement without a metal on metal contact. Now I sit here and wonder if it wore out yet, but too lazy to uncover the Suzi.

Ed, get a OEM cable. They seem to be the best and will last alot longer then anything else. I bought a Motion Pro cable and it only lasted 3 years. Besides, it was no where near built as heavy as the OEMs.

Here's a snapshot of the parts I disassembled. See the box I highlighted...is this what you're talking about?

I went ahead and bought 2 of them...oh well, I'll learn the hard way Bill. Thanks!

Ok you got me off my lazy butt to check. My wife is catching up to me on the Netflix binge watch of "Long way down" anyway.

Can you see the little grey c shaped material in the cable hole at the handle. Again it was some type of hard plastic which I almost tossed except it fit so nice. It has been for three years. As I recall it is slightly slotted in the side for cable movement. Maybe that is common, just not on anything else I have.

I'm not with my bike right now...but I will check later. Here's a reference point for said area. I'm not sure I see what you're talking about.


Maybe it's in this area:


I've taken the caliper apart and am waiting for my parts to complete the job.


The screws are not coming out of the MC so I'll drill them out and order some replacement screws/gasket.


Looking forward to putting this back together with my braided line.
