I am totally confused now,i have just had the clutch cover off to realign the second clutch plate which i installed wrongly first time round.When i removed the plates from the original basket i marked the lug on plate No1 in line with the dimple on the basket,i have now noticed that although i...

Just changed the basket and a new nut,all the old plates went back in.The bikes only done 8k miles so i thought i'd leave the plates alone

Yes,i'll think i'll have it apart again and get it in the right position,now i've done it once it's not a prob.I do notice now that the bike seems to "clonk" into first gear from a standstill a bit more than it did before,perhaps it's a the plate misalignment, i doubt it but i might aswell put...

After long last i have now upgraded to the Gen 2 basket,i've just put it all back together following the write up in this thread and i think i have made a blunder, i marked friction plate 1 in relation to the dimple but and replaced it in the right position but friction plate 2 was just put in...

Have i missed out on these then?

What Rox Risers are they?

I should be able to do it blindfold by then :)

Sounds good,i just had it in my mind that to hold it properly it would have to be at least half way down the basket as the nut it supposed to be so tight,won't be doing the job now for a month or so now due to other commitments :(,typical got all the bits now but no time.

Has anyone used the EBC type of clutch holding tool?

I must sound like a right biffa,i am quite a competent mechanic and a toolmaker by trade but the bit i can't get my head round is that the way the clutch basket is cast the "castellations" have a cast ring around them which is stopping the new tool sliding down far enough for the inner part of...
