Good evening wonder if anyone can give me some advice. I have inherited a b40 off my father he took the clutch apart a few years back now.  Could anyone please tell me the way the clutch plates go back in ie friction plate, steel plate, friction plate ect? And what oil and capacity should I use in the clutch/primary chain. 

Many thanks

Rupert Ratio book would be worth buying, all the info you will ever need.

As above, buy copy of the book, separate one for engine, it’s worth it’s weight in engine oil. Explains everything including improvements.

Having had problems with clutch slipping on starting from cold I run chaincase dry. The Oil is only for the chain. As bike doesn’t do road work at constant higher revs I just use chain lube on primary chain, sprayed onto it via breather pipe hole. Works for me.

 

You can order the RR books from here;

http://www.ratiopublishing.co.uk/       Dave, ( RR ) and his wife Lisa are very good friends, his books are top notch as already stated - And I'm not just saying that cos they are great mates...

ATF works well in primary case, can't remember the quantity but its not much. @timdog I found putting a bit of slack in the clutch cable before first starting when its been sitting makes a huge difference.

It's a tiny amount of oil. You fill it up until it dribbles out of one of the studs (removed) - the book will tell you which stud for the cases you have (it's very helpful - as already stated)

@evo boy no reaction ? Would you like me to come and fix it for you ?

OK I've just looked it must be the one covered by the rear brake lever as that's not a Alan key. Many thanks

Also would anyone know which is the best way to wire a kill switch in?

Many thanks
