HOW TO: Clutch Replacement (PICTURE INTENSE) 56K, Don't even try.

yeah mid sixties sounds about right, but I can't look at the clock when it's pulling that hard either.

Just replaced my clutch today and it was really easy. I had just changed the oil a couple days before so I just put the bike on the sidestand and it wasn't a problem. My old clutch plates were still above the service minimum as were my clutch springs. The steel plates looked alright so I just scuffed them up with 80 grit. The roads are wet right now so the tire slips before the clutch, but we'll see if it did the trick soon. If it still slips I guess that I'll need to get some stronger springs.

Did you put any grease or anything on the pushrod? My haynes manual says something about lubricating the push rod...but I am afraid grease would get on the fiber plates.

I just pulled the cover last night. Your pics are SOOO much better than the haynes manual. Thanks so much!!!
