Hi Stu, the tool you suggested worked well thank you. I cannot see any real issues to cause me a significant problem at present but for the life of me I cannot remove the clutch basket and ring gear.No worries dude.
There's a clutch basket holding tool, but apart from that you can do the rest with a aluminium or copper wedge for the gears, and a pick for the backlash. You'll need a good quality two bolt (m8) puller for the backlash gear. Early bikes the back lash gear can get really stuck on, later bikes they come off very easy.
Even if you find it to just be a loose centre basket nut, I wouldn't stop there....just do a full strip and inspect whilst you're there. Even if I'm just doing a simple shift mechanism adjustment, I still do a full strip down and inspect. Parts are hard to find and expensive, so it's worth investing time to ensure longevity.
I have a puller but does not get behind the ring gear. I can get it to pull the basket itself but am concerned if I pull too hard it will be destroyed. Any tricks of the trade that may help me?
Also, I read on the forum where someone suggested you enlarge the oil holes in the clutch hub - if so can I ask size thanks. Cheers Paul
