Simon46 Posted September 23, 2015 Author Posted September 23, 2015 Sheared the head off a bolt off in the clutch basket! 15 quid on fine drill bits later went to Brian s Pope stockport and got new boltJust rebuilding clutch and noticed there is play on the basket gear and the basket. Will I have to go to grampian again to have the 6 studs that hold the gear to the basket oversized and the basket drilled? Got a feeling thats where the bottom end knock was coming from. Regards Simon
blackhat250 Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 Its rivits aint it simon, some baskets have rubber cush , they can be rebuilt, . this slack is usually felt in the clutch lever, [ kinda delay in feel ]never done a rebuild, but seen a thread on 2stroke forum , [ rd400 basket.]
KevtheRev Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 There are kits available which have bolts to replace the rivets , and a new damper . Not sure but try Mitaka .
Simon46 Posted September 24, 2015 Author Posted September 24, 2015 Yes see that yambits do the basket kits but for RD's. Is there rubbers in a 175 basket? The knock on mine is a metallic clunk.
Moderator Airhead Posted September 24, 2015 Moderator Posted September 24, 2015 yeah there's bound to be some play after all those years, there are rubbers in there, myself I wouldn't bother...cant see why you'd think it's causing a knock just because the rubbers will be a little eroded?
Simon46 Posted September 25, 2015 Author Posted September 25, 2015 Well put engine back in the frame finished at 2am this morning in the conservatory. Missus says this is not a garage it is a conservatory. I retorted with her lads box of toys has sat in there 6 yrs! Started it 8 am this morn all good but still the knock on rhs casing not there under acceleration or deceleration. Going to buy a basket off evilbay and take it apart and find bolt kit that fits. Many thanks for all your input!Regards Simon
