1967 T20 - Clutch plate sticking I think...
Posted: Sat Mar 31, 2018 4:15 pm
Hi,
Still at it... Trying to put things back together and realized that the clutch is sticking (Not badly I hope)...
and the clutch cover is bent.
Getting a weld shop to gently heat and "unbend" the case.. and fix the crack in the clutch examination cover.
Question:
On the bench... I can use the shifter to put the bike into what I feel is neutral... and the rear wheel spins smoothly and quietly.
If I push the lever into first the rear wheel is "engaged" but pulling the clutch handle(disengaging the clutch) doesn't allow the rear wheel to spin.
I feel this was working when I loaded it into my truck for the trip home!..
How can I "check" and/or release the clutch plates whilst on the bench without a complete teardown?
Does the spring just "compress" the whole clutch unit when the clutch isn't pulled?
It the center "button" in the removable pin supposed to depress?
Thanks
