Clutch has always worked fine.

I took this pic of a bunch of parts that need replacing (sorry for the crummy pic- it is in a ziploc) and you can clearly see the roller is lobed.
However, on the AN page the same part does not appear to have this .
What's the deal?
The roller is supposed to be circular.![]()

gortnipper said:When I finished pulling all the parts I put them in my parts cleaner - a oil drain tub with some petrol - to clean everything up. One of the last items out was the kickstart return spring, which was covered in goo. Black paint that had dissolved in the petrol. Oops.
In looking at the AN page, the new parts dont look painted. Does anyone know if they are?

The gearbox springs aren't painted.

The bearing should lever off easily enough.

Danno said:Do you have anything in mind to preserve the matte finish on the cases, etc? Sandblasting can peen the pores of the alloy a bit to keep oxidation to a minimum, but I'm not sure about the vapor blast.
grandpaul said:Vapor blasting, and hydro blasting are two totally different things.
Vapor blasting is another name for steam cleaning; true "vapor" blasting, no media.
