mcman56 Posted Tuesday at 06:46 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 06:46 PM I had the clutch cover off and am struggling to understand how the clutch actuator works. Every bike I remember controls the bike from the opposite side of the engine. A rod goes through and pushes the pressure plate out to create clearance and release the clutch. On this bike, the slave cylinder pushes in the opposite direction. So, is the movable pressure plate on the back side of the clutch pack when compared to other bikes? The parts list looks like that.

jonnyc21 Posted 11 hours ago Report Share Posted 11 hours ago Take a look from 4-42 to 4-45 of the service manual. should help enlighten how the clutch works.

mcman56 Posted 1 hour ago Author Report Share Posted 1 hour ago Thanks for the clarification. I was installing some spacers to reduce spring preload. I planned to pop the plates out to see if it had dimpled plates but was surprised that the plates could not just slip out. It is sort of the reverse of every other bike clutch I have ever had apart. I learned something new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
