Autocluch saga still continiues......

[TapioK]

3 times has Baker sent me parts to get my clutch back to normal. 3 times they have sent me something wrong or forgot something. bolts too short, wrong throw out bearing (twice), wrong plates... I have a lot of odd spare parts by now. I have talked hours with them, sent a lot of pictures, emails. It has only taken like 2.5 weeks this far. Next throwout bearing arriving in 3 days, I hope, has to be correct since they run out of options or variations! Off those 3 I now have I can build the correct one though.
Higher forces don't want me to give up autoclutch! I think I have to visit Voodoo priestess again.

when you go to the voodoo, make sure you don't forget to take a live chicken with you for payment. :2thumbs::2thumbs:

I think I take a few from a hen house and 2 from Hooters, just to be on the safe side.

Hey Tapio, I like the new avatar.

My LFM autoclutch used my existing throw-out bearing, so couldn't you use the one you have to go back?

 

[TapioK]

Thats what I ended up doing, did put one wrong one to freezer to get bearing out from asembly(?) and put in the one I had in autoclutch. In open primary you have what I call pedestal on bearing to reach the clutch rod. I just would have wanted all parts to be new...

 

[TapioK]

Hahahaaaa, they still managed to get something wrong at Baker! See what is missing this time? Not that it matters but still...

Lock ring?

Oh yeah, both of them.
That is funny really. Previous ones did come assembled. i think they just hate me and do this on purpose. Really!
Or if this is how it usually works they, and soon we, will be in deep shit!
This stupid and simple saga with few parts of witch I sent pictures, gave BD part numbers, talked, wrote emails... took like 3 weeks!
I agree, it was partly my own fault, I first did let someone to order parts for me while I went to Daytona, that is when this started! but the guy who ordered the parts for me was Big Dog mechanic and knew what to order...
Sometimes things just keep going wrong. Well, bike works great and I have some spare parts!
