Yeah I ,ve just done it........you need a press to push them off the shaft as they are squeezed on.

When I came to put mine back on I put the shaft in dry ice for an hour or two but did not put the gear in the oven and I still pressed it on very easily,there is a measurement of 90.5 mm but its hard to get wrong as if you push it too far it won,t rotate.

Be careful of not mixing up your clutch plates as there are a different thickness and use a rattle gun to get the big nut off the clutch as I broke my clutch basket doing it by hand when my mate told me to use the rattle gun in the first place....an expensive mistake....

Any more questions just ask as I ll be back after work....good luck

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive.
