Hi all, I think I'm just about to buy an 1100S which is exciting (I already have a 796, and an 1199 Pani). It's got a clutch which slips a little pulling away. Any tips on replacing the clutch? Must-have upgrades (other than Oberon slave), where best to buy the parts etc? Whilst here, it is worth playing with the final drive by gearing down at all? I live in Jersey so acceleration is more interesting than speed, but I'm aware that the bike is obviously already torquey. Cheers!
If it’s slipping I would recommend disassembly, inspect plates, basket, drum etc. Clean all plates, reassemble, check stack height. Pull out actuator push rod, clean, lightly grease O rings and ends of rod. Put it back together. If it’s a non-slipper, make sure you line up the pressure plate - cast triangle on plate next to post hole needs to line up with post with a notch on it. Hopefully that will sort it. Lovely motor that 1100 2V - I have one in my M1100S.
Yep- second that....good clean for the plates first! Re the gearing down...may as well....ive been to Jersey - theres literally no straight roads, and if there are theyre a few meters long...
I always used to clean my s4r clutch plates with brake cleaner, it worked a treat, regarding changing the gearing try a tooth less on the front sprocket, it will increase acceleration considerably ;-)
