Sure do, I think I have selectively memorized what I wanted to know. Going back now to re-read the rest.Do you have a service manual
Back off the push rod, pull it out, then tighten the bolts, then set the push rod according to the manual, snug to throw out bearing and then back off 1/4 turn according to manual.Let me try and clarify, without the throw out bearing installed I broke the bolt. I assumed this was because it the throw out bearing was not pushing against the push rod so it allowed me to bottom out the pivot bolts. I took it apart, removed the broken bolt and re-assembled it without the push rod. I installed the Throw out bearing and finger tightened the pivot bolts. Installed the pushrod and then tightened the pivot bolts down to 10 ft pounds. I guess I don't understand why it broke off to begin with. When I took it apart it was bottomed out. Curtis said 20ft pounds for the bolts.
Funny what makes sense when you alone in the garage until you start to type it out and read what your typing....Back off the push rod, pull it out, then tighten the bolts, then set the push rod according to the manual, snug to throw out bearing and then back off 1/4 turn according to manual.
Thought there was a torque spec on those? 20ftlbs? Is coming to mind.I did read all of Chapter 4, I assumed given the age of the manual I guess everybody had figured out a torque spec but it seems there isn't one and the clutch diaphram needs to be measured. Is that accurate? Which would make sense given everything I did/didn't do. I did use red loctite on the clutch hub nut and did clean the threads and torque to 160ft points. Also used blue Loctite on the rest.

Yep looks like 20 is right

I have a 2011 Mastiff I bought brand new. The bike had a creep from day one. I tried everything I could to fix it. I finally just bought a new clutch and pressure plate from energy one. This fixed my issueHey Mike, I just replaced my pressure plate with the upgraded version and the throwout bearing, new spring, anyhow I used to have a slight creep also, but after replacing those things and adjusting the pushrod by turning it in till it's snug then back 1/8 turn I don't have the creeping anymore and it shifts unbelievably good! You prolly should remove the primary cover, pull out the clutch plates and see what's up in there, then after you know that you can go from there.
Did you use the 9 or 12 disc?I have a 2011 Mastiff I bought brand new. The bike had a creep from day one. I tried everything I could to fix it. I finally just bought a new clutch and pressure plate from energy one. This fixed my issue
Pretty sure was 12. I can find neutral now also.Did you use the 9 or 12 disc?
The 12 plate is funny..the problem with the 12 plate is the steels are so thin they will wear, and why BD went to 9 later on. I have the 12 plate also and spoke to energy one and they shipped me a few thicker steels to use and that brought my stack height back up. Now it shifts like a dream.View attachment 50500 My mistake it was 9 plate
Never had problems with my HF torque wrenches....Well after all that BS it was my torque wrench. Don't buy from Harbor Freight, not sure what it was tightening to but it was WAY past 20ft pounds. I borrowed a buddies snap on and it hit 20 ft pounds pretty quick on a newly inserted bolt. On the 3 remaining bolts I put the torque wrench to 240 inch pounds (max) and they were tighter than that. That is what the HF tool said was 10!
Well not bashing them by no means. I was on the FT lbs side thank god! While scratching my head I went to the HF website and read the reviews. Lots of broken bolts. Just my experience.Never had problems with my HF torque wrenches....
Although I heard about a guy at work who used the NM side instead of the FT lb side and that will ruin your day. And he broke a head bolt ha

Good to hear, thanks for the updateWell with an accurate torque wrench all is good. Everything is installed and working great. Thanks for all the help!
I did not know this. Looks like I’ll be getting a new push rod.Pull the pushed and take a look at the point to see if you have any wear from contact with the throwout bearing. The rod is case hardened and once the hardening wears out, it goes away quickly, at which point, it's time to replace. Good luck.
