Clutch

John, I have confidence in you, no doubt. Let's study the wave-plate... just above the head side of the exhaust pipe. That puppy has to be flat when all is assembled. Right now statically, it's curved. Trick #1. Trick #2 is 1/8th out from a seated ramp position. Trick #3 is to hand palm the stacked steels and visually see them lay without a gap if you spun it 360 looking for a warp. Last is the hammering of the big clutch outer channels, meaning, no deep grooves, but more like a shadow print and your fingernail can run across the channels without catching a nail sunk in a groove. So that's both clutch center channels as the big clutch outer grooves stopping the plates from floating but stuck in those grooves.

You're to doctor now. Every part is an inspection for cracks, normal wear, strange etchings, etc. Having a Clean operating room wise, you are the doctor!

Ordered another clutch pack. When checking all the discs, found a steel that seemed a bit "off"...
Bought a new bearing carrier...
Awaiting a new inner hub...
Bought a new pressure plate...
Bought a new clutch spring...
Bought a new clutch throw-out bearing...

The shifter prawl adjustment seems "off". I gotta do some research on that...

Everything that goes on or comes off is inspected (I have NDI capabilities as well). That goes back to my aircraft mechanic days...

I'm new to all this and it may take me a bit to figure things out but, I do have a manual, lots of tools and a lot of help and assistance from this website...

Thank you

:)

Not positive, but it looks like the problem all along was just that the heater wasn't plugged in good. doesn't look like there was any thing wrong with the bike after all!
