blackhat250 Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Aye "shes ready to rock ritchie, looks a bit like the old GPZ750 ,,
Noise Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 Very snazzy, time to hit the road and get some smile miles done
richiedan40 Posted July 19, 2014 Author Posted July 19, 2014 ok lads , I need your help here , I,ll explain 1st , I pulled the left hand cover off yesterday to investigate the clutch problem. first thing I saw was one of the forks on the clutch basket was snapped off , looks like whoever had this bike before me had used a screw driver to lock up the basket whilst undoing the nut , the clutch has been operating fine so I guess this is not a major issue , please advise. after further stripping I noticed there is a small pin which locates the oil pump drive cog on the rear of the clutch basket , this is loose in the basket/drive gear , neither the cog or the basket drillings seem worn or the pin for that matter , the pin appears to be too small because you can rotate the gear 3 to 4mm in both directions, what size should it be , there are no descriptives in the Haynes manual. I,m certain this is the cause of the rumbling noise as I couldn't find any thing untoward anywhere else. your help would be much appreciated lads. if you require pictures I can down load later........I mean upload.........old fart disease rearing its ugly head again !

richiedan40 Posted July 19, 2014 Author Posted July 19, 2014 nice one paul , ive ordered them ive also found a basket from an early diversion and it looks identical to mine . are they the same ? and ...... would you go to the expense of replacing the basket just for one broken fork tip. ?
Moderator Airhead Posted July 19, 2014 Moderator Posted July 19, 2014 nice one paul , ive ordered them ive also found a basket from an early diversion and it looks identical to mine . are they the same ? and ...... would you go to the expense of replacing the basket just for one broken fork tip. ? Use that website I linked and compare part numbers, for your basket and the diversion basket, I'd be looking to fit a good one if it were me Richie. If you struggle let me know the model number of the divvy and I'll have a go for you
richiedan40 Posted July 19, 2014 Author Posted July 19, 2014 that's great thanks paul. I,ll order one of them. would you bother replacing the basket for one fork tip snapped off ? ive found one on e bay but its off a 92 divvy , it looks identical , will it fit though ?
richiedan40 Posted July 19, 2014 Author Posted July 19, 2014 not sure of the model no. paul , its a second hand one from the heart breakers. sorry for the double post. the old alseimers playing up again and the poor spolling

richiedan40 Posted July 19, 2014 Author Posted July 19, 2014 all sorted , some breakers on tinterweb called " paul woods motorcycles " had a pre divvy one for £20 Happy days eh ?
Moderator Airhead Posted July 19, 2014 Moderator Posted July 19, 2014 its risky, can you compare descriptions/photos with the seller? can you have a return/refund if it's different? on 1st look yours has a different part# but does that mean it's different? I dunno
richiedan40 Posted July 19, 2014 Author Posted July 19, 2014 cheers drewpy , I did read your blog 1st time round , but I,m still not sure whats supposed to be going on cos the pin does not look worn and the receiving hole / slot in the basket and gear respectively don't look worn either , isn there supposed to be play in the gear or should it be an interferrance fit
richiedan40 Posted July 19, 2014 Author Posted July 19, 2014 as above post , ive got a pre divvy one of a 1990 xj 600 , thanks all the same paul , your help is always appreciated , as always 1

I had to drill the hole larger to accept the pin and drive it in. being spilt it will deform to fill in the wear.
richiedan40 Posted July 27, 2014 Author Posted July 27, 2014 Dear all , the clutch basket has still not arrived from the breakers , so little progress has been made. and summer is two thirds of the way through , although I have aquired a 6mm hardened dowel which I will use when the basket arrives , I milled the slot in the drive cog out to 6.05mm and will ream out the basket accordingly , I phoned the Yamaha technical help line last week and they were pretty much clueless , which didn't instill confidence , they said they,d get back to me , which they couldn't be ar$%d to do. Makes you think , doesn't it ? any how whilst my xj is in bits I noticed a little play in the bearing on the drive shaft , the one the clutch sits on , and it is a little noisy when rotated by hand , before I spend any more money , is this normal or not ? many thanks guys....look forward to your replies ps are there any rallies etc in the north west in the coming week ?
