Hi all, I am just wondering if anyone here has done a clutch on one of the F3 bikes? I have questions, thanks.

 

Ask away, lots of experience from the folks here.

 

thank you, so here is a list I put together for the clutch repair. I am not a mechanic so I went through the parts from babbitts

does this list look like a list that you (you being someone who is more experienced that me) would order for a clutch rebuild?

thank you.

 

In most cases all that is really needed are the friction / separator plates (matching the stack height is the most important thing), possibly springs as well, what make you think that the full clutch assembly needs replacing?
e.g. https://www.ebay.com/b/Complete-Clut...40/bn_21385267

If required most of the parts are available in the US. The washer should be readily available at a hardware store if required.

one of the reasons I thought it was something more was a lot of clunking and rattling. when I pull the lever in most all if it went away.

I did not have any drive issues through just a lot of noise.

I can post photos of specific parts if you like so maybe you can see something I dont or say that part is fine or now

thank you very much.

 

The clutch baskets on these bikes are quite noisy and do go away when the clutch is pulled in. Call it a design feature If you have no other issues I would not worry about it.
How long have you had the bike and has it recently gotten worse?

 

had it about 7 years and its gotten a lot worse over time.

Ok so its apart now maybe just disks and maybe throwout bearing ? what else?

 

Not bearing because it's stationary when clutch engaged. Bearing only spins when lever is squeezed to pull plates apart and disengage clutch.

 

crap, I am going to have to take it to a mechanic, I was hoping to avoid it and learn something but this seems to be above my mental capacity

thanks guys

 

A quick question Danno, is that also still the case when in neutral with the lever not squeezed?
