Chris S Effingham, 19 Jun 2012 10:01 Spurred on by Pickle Jim, I stripped the clutch at the last service (30,000 m) to see why my gearbox had got so clunky and awkward.

Rob NMTB Redditch, 19 Jun 2012 10:12 Might have a look at that myself.
Chris S Effingham, 19 Jun 2012 10:18 Its a bit of a pain because you have to take the starter reduction gear casing off, and the front casing the holds the sprag etc. in order to get at one of the bolts in the clutch cover.

----KK---- West SX / London, 20 Jun 2012 07:28 Good call Chris, I'll check mine out soon as it's due an oil and filter change anyway. did you mange to reuse the gaskets?
Chris S Effingham, 20 Jun 2012 09:11 No, new gaskets - £24 for the three of them, and you need a new 'o' ring for the starter motor too.

So much nicer to ride though now - definitely worth doing.
Chris S Effingham, 22 Jun 2012 14:33 The cover is on dowels about 1/4" long. I dont know if you would be able to clear these with the front covers still on..?
Katies Grandad Snot on the Ouse, 22 Jun 2012 21:45 Ok , I'll not waste my time then. Anything I need to watch for when taking the sprag etc off.
Chris S Effingham, 22 Jun 2012 23:27 Not really - there's a few wavy washers and spacers that can drop out, but its all pretty straight forward.
Katies Grandad Snot on the Ouse, 23 Jun 2012 18:41 I think the hardest bit is probably going to be cleaning the old gasket material off.

Will leave it till the Autumn, in that case. It's not bad, just memory says it used to be better. 
A job I bloody hate
