stump magnet Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 (edited) the clutch cover is warped on my 06 290 it has leaked oil for ages and lets water in when washing turning the oil milky, gonna try and skim it on a lathe or face it on a flat plate anyone else had this problem and how much is a new cover, (i only have 2.3mm of depth to play with which is the difference between the clutch dissengaged and the inner face of the cover, the cover is warped by 0.5mm between the bottom two bolts so if i can't skim it im gonna need a new one!)

I had the same problem with a sherco, it was 0.5mm out as well, but a liberal smear of silicone sorted it out and it has been no more trouble :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titanium Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 (edited) I bounced one off a rock, sanded it on a flat plate, filed out the o ring groove, and it seems fine. Although I haven't tried it yet. Bought a new one, as I recall, it was about $50 dollars. Edited March 23, 2007 by titanium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copemech Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 For that matter, just face it and use the sealer and chunk the o-ring. I will work till the next time you bash it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
