Independent Service? The Desert Desmo Thread

Scott,
Thanks for the new front shoe my beast chewed up after only 1,800 miles 
...and showing me how to bleed my clutch, what a difference it made 

on the Panigale? now i'm worried 

[Cloner]

Happy to help, Karl.  For what it's worth, you got more miles on your first than I did....but not by much!

Scott and Stu.

I need a new clutch for my 620 monster.  Any recommendations?

I have looked around and there don't seem to be a ton of options.

Thanks for any advice.

[Cloner]

Clutch plates or a whole new assembly?  Barnett make plates, but they're fairly expensive and don't have a significant advantage over OE as far as I can tell.  Assemblies?  Your correct.  No options that I'm aware of.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the info!

Karl,

Your front tire should be here Thursday or Friday....probably Thursday.

Just FYI

[Zaster]

Thanks Scott,
Just got back from Raleigh.
When do you have time to install it
and fine tune suspension set up?

[Zaster]

Thought I wear it down some more this weekend but did not
get anyway near to what you did to your rear.
See you this Saturday at 9

Scott,
Thanks for the new front shoe and for setting
the sag on the R 
What a difference 

[Cloner]

Glad to help, Karl.  Ride in good health!

Scott I talked to you about my clutch the other day.  I have replaced a few bit in the DP slipper clutch at this point.

The slipper spider spring had exploded causing my horrible noise on take off.

The clutch plates were fried, so I replaced those as well.

I am trying to find the recommended stack height for the DP slipper I have and I can find it anywhere.

The new plates are Barnett.  Everything seems to be working fine right now.  Engages and disengages.  Has neutral.

I don't know if I should worry or not as everything seems to be working fine just popping in new plates.

If you have any recommendations, let me know.  Otherwise I will see you on the road.

Thanks.

Scott

Sounds like you have it handled.  If it works don't worry about it.  The stack height is a target, but it's meaningless if the clutch doesn't work.

Thanks again Scott!

Ok, I have a 93 Superlight. I just got done changing the belts, plugs, oil and filters. I put new tires on it and I went to start it but no fuel. I have power to the tank and the fuse is good. Maybe the relay where is it. there is some sort of relay on the right side of the bike but that looks more like a starter relay. The pump? I am not sure which is bad. If I knew which the relay was for sure I know how to jump it from another forum by jumping 87 to 30.
thanks in advance for the help. The relay on the right side is not your typical square one and is round with 3 connections.

Hey Scott and Stu,

I am about to hit 600 mi. on the Scrambler. What are your suggestions beyond oil/filter/chain service/checking stuff? Do you guys have a favorite oil/filter combination for the 803? Are you interested in working on the Scrambler? Do you recommend PJ's while in warranty?

Thanks.
