Would pay to measure the clutch cable, depending on its age, it may have stretched some. Worn pushrods, don't help either.


On a side note, unless you plan to change the bearing under the clutch baskets - there is no need to take them off i.e. no need for the rattle gun, unless Yamaha has a different configuration to Suzuki. Just a thought.

Now you see, there is smart advice, thank you. As far as the cable goes, I will be replacing it anyway as I suspect it is original.

ok cool, i was going to buy new ones, but sod that! I'll buy 2nd hand ones! I need a specal holder tool and socket thing to undo my clutch tho, damn its tricky.

I'll aslo give george a call and see what he says, he might actually know what hes talking about.

RM. I watched, somewhat fascinated, as my Yami Dealer foreman, Gavin Veltmyer, took apart his clutch (on A KTM), btween races at Taupo. He used some long nuts to hold the whole edifice in place till he'd released the set of 'holding' nuts. Then he backed off the tricky nuts and, bingo, the clutch came apart without various parts spanging all over the place, as you'd expect the springs to cause.


If all else fails, give Gav a call at Henderson Yamaha. He's a thoroughly decent and helpful fellow, despite the fact he's a Motard madman!
