Title: Clutch basket bolts
Post by: gage on February 12, 2009, 07:17:49 PM
Can anyone tell me what size and pitch tap is needed clean out the clutch basket holes?

I definately don't have it in my set and I would prefer not to buy a whole new set.

Thanks in advance!

I think they're 8 x 1.25.

But don't quote me.

I checked the torque thread in tutorials...

clutch drum screws....8 x 1.25

The new used basket I have has clearance holes for an 8mm screw.

1.25 is the only 8mm pitch Duc uses....

take a chance...

Columbus did.

Yup, I "think" dicpainter is right. As I recall, they don't take as much torque as you'd think.

Isn't it nice to have people who still know how to say "I think" or "I'm not sure"? I've seen people answer questions on this board with absolute authority when I KNOW there are wrong. Of course they belong to the motorcycle "god" club that CAN'T be wrong. Please shoot me if I ever get that arrogant.
