Thanks.
Don't know quite what I'm going to do - perhaps nothing at the moment. When I fixed my tranny, I put in the throwout bearing incorrectly (missed a race - washer), rode it for about 60 miles like that until it finally gave up the ghost.
Currently the clutch has a very short effective range of motion i.e. the clutch disengages/engages over just a tiny bit of motiion on the lever in the middle of its overall throw. I'm wondering if I didn't grind off some of the pushrod or maybe its just a well worn clutch. I'm going to do a complete teardown for the cosmetic upgrade this winter, but thought I might futz with it if it could be done without ripping it out again (which I can now do in my sleep).
I have the "old stuff" in there now, but I do have 3 cone seals from MG cycle waiting on the bench, and yes, I have a parts book.

Yes You may need to remove the swingarm.
Are you putting in the Moto International seal (o-ring) kit?
Do you have a parts book?

Related question - on a 5 speed, can the entire pushrod be replaced without removing the tranny?

make

very,

lubricant
| | (amsoil, heavy trailer axle grease) that I put on the spline. Before installing one, I read everything I could find about these clutches. They've been used mostly in LeMans or outright racing type applications where the rider is hard on the bike. The earliest account I found of wearing out the plate was around 5K miles |

and

of

suggest

the

is
