remove the clutch plate and steels see if they are dry if so lube and put back together and see how you go.


NOTE be careful with the spring retainer bolt DONT use the rattle gun on them they have a good chance of snapping if you do

Cool, thanks for that. I will try it. I would lube it with normal motor oil?

Do you think that could be the issue?

Was on the SASS ride tonight and mentioned I was working on an old XR. One of the guys said he used to have one. He asked if I needed the clutch tool and flywheel puller to which I said yes. He told me to follow him home and he lent them to me. Sweet!!

yup just the same oil as is in it as that is all that is going to lube it latter just make sure it is a bike engine oil due to the clutch. if they are dry they will be binding up or the oil can go like thick glue/grease if its been sitting for a while even though you had it running it would be enough to free them up.

while the left alternator cover is off put socket extension on the end of the crank nut holding flywheel on and and check for up and down play shouldn't be any

I got the springs and part 7 off the clutch and the main bolt. The main bolt had been fitted with a hammer and drift, you can see the tool marks.

But the main bolt holding the oil flinger cleaner thing is also been done up the same way. Even with a bar on it wont move. Will try heat and the rattle gun tonight. I had to drill out one of the screws holding its cover on.

The clutch does look dry which I guess it could be after being sitting for 7 years. Could I just pour oil through it now? I can move the plates apart by hand now the springs are off.

if you can move the plates from the steels etc one by one no reason you couldn't do it that way a little messy compare to putting them in an ice-cream container with oil in it but same effect.

So If I do that and fire it back together? Do you think that could have been my banging noise?

The banging noise is the neighbour with your missus because you have been spending too much time in the shed.

wouldnt have thought so but youll know if you have one problem fixed checking for play in the crank will take that out of the picture as well. try with the plug out turning it over by hand with the covers off socket on flywheel nut helps you mat be able to hear feel the knock that way or help tell which area its in.

Its not a big/small end knock. But ive already checked for play in mains etc and the seem fine. It turns over from the flywheel fine, either in our out of gear with the covers off. No jamming or noise. Ive also shaken it upside down just incase there is something flying around in there. nothing.

The sound was more like something flying around in the motor. Banging at random times.

Thanks for your help by the way.

Already caught her doing that, kicked her out years ago.

XR MANIACS ARE EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im feeling the love!!

Think I will oil the clutch, tidy up the stator wiring then reassemble. Then try it out.

Ive just organised a new chain for the bike.

Just to carry on. no up and down play but a little side to side. Cant get the oil flinger of, smashed the tool trying.

Rechecked clutch plates and the seem wet in better light.

Cant get flywheel off with remover.

What are you opening hours? I think I need help before I take to it with a hammer.
