Time for a new clutch - Stock, or ???

Marc · Post by **Marc** » Fri Oct 05, 2007 2:55 pm

Greetings - just finished a 1500 mile ride on my '87 (which I've had since '89!), and realized my clutch is engaging at the very end of lever travel, so now I'm researching clutch options. Are there any other than stock? Anyone have a recommendation? I've never been happy with the "grabbiness" of my stock clutch at take-off, thus the question.

Thanks!

To be sure that your clutch is gone, just measure the thick of a single disc as suggested in the manual.
I have found a "brass discs" in my yel dukess and itruns very good

, but I don't know the neme of the producer/supplier

STM 48 teeth aluminium basket and STM plates... surely with open carbon fibre cover and cute red aluminium pressure plate with stainless steel springs!

Antti,

think before you post

There is no such clutch for a P750 (you`re talking about the 907ie I suppose)

It's safe to assume that it's been bled properly and that the salve cylinder and button are in good shape?

It's been bled recently (sounds like I applied leeches...

), but I haven't checked the button. Back in the day, I couldn't fix my slave cylinder, ended up getting a cover from some other Pantah motor? Other than it's being silver and not black, it's worked fine for years...

I'll check the button, and the plate thicknesses - thanks for the suggestions!

In the same time you can control the bearing in the cylinder: it's very easy to do: while the engine is running in neutral gear, pull the lever for about 1/4 of the entire run, just before the clutch starts to work, you might feel a "rusty" vibration on the lever: it comes from the worn bearing!
Otherwise, if the lever is "quiet", the bearing is good
