Setting Clutch
Hi Skip,
thanks for reply, my local Yamaha dealer said the clutch boss spring stops the plates from sticking together first thing on a cold morning, he does a lot of off road stuff and says he often leaves the springs out.
(if it also also stops the plates rattling, maybe someone should tell the boys from Ducati...)
The actual plate with the bigger inner diameter is a bit thicker so even without the spring the correct plate should still be used.
as you say the 'wobbly bit' is used to adjust the distance from the pushrod to pressure plate, which will change with the new thicker plates.
its all in the clymer manual, but who reads that first?.......
heres a view I didn't see in the manual
the hex part of the adjuster that sits in the hole (shown above) is a bit thicker than the pressure plate so theres always a bit of play, or thats what mines like
