    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

The last motorcycle clutch I did was 20 years ago on one of my Kawi 750 triples.....they were dry and it was VERY self explanatory....remove cover..unbolt it all and take it out.....replace it the same order and put it back in....

Is it this easy in my 1100e? Anything special I need to know about before I go about changing my basket and clutch? I have a welded basket to replace the stocker....and I'm hoping that will aleviate some of the chatter I am getting.....

Just a couple of tips,

Putting the bike in high gear helps when removing the centernut and also make sure the clutch cover bolt around the 4-5 o'clock position is the right one, short one. A too long of a bolt will make contact with the outer lip of the basket.

I like to move the oil pump gear so that the notch is straight up and then I make a mark with a black marker on the inside of the basket where it's notch is located on the backside to help line it up.

OEM/FBG fibers work best

Gorrila Hub

Gorrila Hub

I was probably bidding on the same hub till I found out I already had a HD basket. Along with that below, I think I might buy a new primary roller bearing as there is still a little play (0.040" at the hub diameter) wobble in the my hub even when tightened on the shaft. This is enough to make a deep sounding knock I'm sure.

* new OEM Carrier (#5 only $62.05)
* new lock washers (#7)
* 3 new OEM springs (#12 $2.01 each)
* Oil seal (#26)
* rubber cushion (#31)

* APE HD Clutch Hub NUT ($24.95)
* Barnett HD Clucth Springs only

Chris, just bring it to my house with some Newcastles & I will walk you through it. You can even see what tools you might not have & need to get for the next time. Call me, Ray.
