Re: Paso 750 clutch plate sequence

Post by 88WhitePaso750 »

I know this thread has been quiet for year, but does anyone know where I can procure a spare thick, single friction plate that is the last one in the pack, the one that sits against the retaining clip. I just put in a Barnett clutch kit and it looks like I'll have to reuse my single sided friction plate, Although now I will flip it over so that the bare side rides against its neighboring friction plate. I know i is not optimal, but I don't want to end the stack with a friction plate, or a typical steel plate. If I use the steel plate, I'll end up with it spinning against the clip when the clutch is engaged.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I am also looking for a spare clutch spring clip.

The original one from the bike I had it welded the other day. Both of them are not true, or on center from the edge. As this spins with the rpm of the motor I would think it should be within a certain degree of tolerance from center.

I was hoping someone else had this problem and solved it. I am leaning towards a custom made part. Thanks for the offer Jon, your offer is much appreciated. The good news is now I have a complete extra Elefant Pantah motor and most of the parts interchange. Ha! I like kick starters, maybe I will someday use it in something, LOL!

The Paso went 200km Friday, started out ok, then started to take too long to engage on dead stop launches. I will take it apart for the third time and see what happened today.

Thanks again Jon.
