Clutch gone, now problem with the replacement

Maybe they have two steels (driven ) plates to achieve the right thickness frictions are 3mm and a steel either 2 or 1.5 .

 

Im still with Derek ( post 3 ) look thru the triangular holes around the outer edge of the pressure plate , in the before you can see the tips of the hub splines thru the holes , in the after shot you cant , are you sure the pressure plate is lined up with the hub . You have 6 options .... only one is right
and , I gotta say, Man if you aint sure when the hub SHOULD and should NOT be spinning in relation to gears and clutch status you aint the guy for this job

 

you really are chasing that Christmas card aincha Hamish? nothing wrong with learning - happens to me every day.

 

Ahh didn't really mean it like that, just that if someone doesn't really get the idea of how something works a bunch of guys ( like us ) leaning over ones shoulder offering well intentioned but often conflicting advise may not help. If you are learning to maintain your own ( and good on you ) then pick one guy you can trust ( look at HIS bike ) and listen to him, sometimes this can mean ringing the local bike shop and ,for instance , ask them to service your clutch AND explain the thing while you watch , or ( and I keep forgetting this ) GOOGLE it .... amazing whats there

 

Matt,

I presume that you still have not got this sorted...

My two penny worth...

If the stack height is correct then no need to remove plates or fit thinner steel plates, as that would mean the stack height becomes to little...

Only thing that can think of is that you have too much clutch fluid in the system, preventing the pressure plate from sitting all the way home. Not sure how this would happen as my logic suggests that its the inverse of fitting new brake pads that can cause this issue.

I have only a had a similar issue on the 748 when I didn't align the pressure plate correctly; as only one of the 6 option will allow it to sit flush. i presume that you have tried putting the old plate back in to see if that changes things?

Can't work out what bike this is form the photo, but guessing a 1098 or dry conversion to a 848. Is it standard clutch or a slipper??

 

Don't suppose you've got any of your used Friction Plates up for grabs have you? Wanting to do the "quiet clutch" mod on my ST4S. Will gladly exchange for beer tokens.

I might have some from my 748 you can have; how many do you need?
