Title: Clutch Help
Post by: SR1K_Femme on May 29, 2009, 03:01:59 PM
So I picked up my Speedy Moto pressure plate and springs.  The rusty look SO doesn't go well with my open clutch cover. Lol 

However the lovely folks at MC want to charge $75 for install.  Is it really that hard to remove and reinstall with the new pieces??  Granted I don't want to be looking for random springs as they may launch out of the bike and into the garage somewhere, but I also don't want to have to part with hard earned money being unemployed and all.  Beer anyone!?!?!  ;)

OMG, on a scale of 1 to 10 in difficulty (1 easy, 10 hard), this one ranks about a 0.25.

5 minutes, tops 7 minutes. 

Can be done on the side of the road, at the coffee shop/pub/friends house, with tools you bring in your pocket.

When would you like to get it done?  I can help.   [thumbsup]

I don't know what it entails not having a dry clutch myself, but I'm envious. Sounds easy. You could do it over here at my place if you want. We could do the blinkers too that we never got around to. Johnny lives out this way and he'd come help. Cold ones in the fridg.  [beer]

wow I just saw/heard a Hypermotard go by. That thing sounded like a tractor. That was pretty cool  8)
