Ahhh the gasket was in horrible shape. Stuck to diffrent sides all over the place and just tore. I ever so gently took it off. But, no go.

The plate that hold the springs in. Was already cracked. Wasnt missing but was cracked. Cracked right through. When I removed the screws (I did each screw at a 2 turn intervale? Dint want to put to much preasure on each corner afriad of causing more damage.)


Little fuzzy but you can see the crack. I dint get a shot with it off. When I had it off. But the pice was completly seperable.

This one below you can see the crack on the one that is located in the close upward position.

I put everything back in the way its sopose to go. New springs, clutch plates and all that. So when I get the parts it like a 20 min job and I can be done with it. Got em ordered with express shipping from bike bandit.com so hopfully I can get them by weeks end? Or middle next week. We'll see! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Yeah....I figured you'd picked up the shocks. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I think my clutch will be next. Seems like the factory one is still working fine, so hopefully there would be a noticable difference.

 

Got the new parts in.


Let the clutch site in some oil for a few. Then installed everything.


Road it night for about 20 let it cool down. Then we went riding around for about an hour.

I dint know how much breakin time or how easy to go on it for how long.

After that amount of time I hammered on it for about 10 min,


it was sweet having a new clutch with the stronger springs in. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]


And a clutch that grabs.
