clutch slave fitment and bleeding woes

[He Man]

rod is fine if its spinning, there is a bearing on the clutch plate side, as for the clutch slave side, there should be a bearing in there too. what you essentially did was make an extention, which is what yoyodyne does on their unit.

it should be fine so as long as nothing breaks, which i dont see why anything would at this point.

how long is the piece? if its too long it will cause the clutch to slip and youll be loosing power to the wheel and you're plates will be burnt up rather quickly.

i havent measured the extension i put in, but i made a short one first, and found it didnt quite fully release the clutch ...i could rotate the rear wheel with it in gear, but with binding. so i made one  2 or 3 mm longer, and it now rotates with no audible binding or anything. i do get a different pitch rattle/scraping noise when i disengage the clutch with the motor running...i know dry clutches are noisy, but is that normal? its different than when the clutch is engaged with the tranny in neutral.  it sounds like something is rubbing that shouldnt be, but if thats a normal sound, i kinda like it...sounds mean . my other monsters/previous bikes had a wet clutch, so this is a new world for me.
