Hey all, I have a new set of probs now. The clutch was slipping so I took it apart and found that the clutch discs were stuck together. I had a replacement clutch assembly that came with the bike so I inspected it (appeared to be NOS part-the ENTIRE clutch assembly with cherry non-grooved basket). The clutch plates were stuck on that one too (probably from sitting for years) to I freed them up and bolted everything up. It didnt slip as much but still slips alot, feels like a poorly adjusted rekluse-it revs then slowly catches. I played around with the free play on the clutch cable but this didnt help much. What could the problem be? Is it likely that the clutch pack is still sticking? I got it good and hot. Maybe she doesn't like the Rotella T oil?
Another thing- how much is needed for the clutch spring bolts? I snugged them down evenly (not overly tight) but wondered if there should be a little slack here so the clutch pack can move. After I tightened it you could not wiggle the friction discs at all.
