Title: Running the engine with the clutch removed?
Post by: LowercaseJake on July 10, 2017, 06:12:14 PM
Carby 900ss - clutch completely removed in anticipation of new slipper clutch arrival tomorrow (was supposed to be today). Assuming I have the rod in place and no oil can get out, is there any reason I shouldn't run the bike while it's removed? I want to address a tuning issue while I wait.

Could only find one answer to this question on the netz...

Thanks...

Tune away.

Don't let anything get caught in spinning bits.

I guess that rules out working naked HAR HAR HAR ;)

Thx Speeddog

Assuming no oil can get out requires that the basket be bolted to the primary gear as those holes are open to the oil too.
