    Clutch Basket Remove/Upgrade/Installation

    Much thanks to this forum for putting me on to this issue. I really liked my 2012 S10, but found the vibration, especially under load while climbing a steep grade, not only disturbing but even a little distracting. Now with the Gen 2 basket it is vastly improved; not as smooth as a Goldwing, but...

    Doh! I just realized it was a damper assembly

    Last Clutch plate won't come out?

    I've got a 2012 with ~8500 miles, and I'm replacing the clutch basket with a 2014 for vibration reduction. All went well until I got down to what I think is the last metal plate. It won't come out---seems like maybe it's jammed on the splines. There's one more fiber plate under it. I can rotate...

    Retracting the Chain Tensioner Plunger

    Well, after a good 2 hours of trying everything I could, I'm going to try to return the part to partzilla. When I first released the plunger it came out past both circlips, which I imagine it's not supposed to do, and I could never get it back in. At first I thought it was the inner circlip...

    Retracting the Chain Tensioner Plunger

    Being the dolt that I am, before reading this thread I removed my new auto tensioner from its box and pressed on the plunger, which of course immediately extended fully. I've studied these posts, and the cordless drill option seems like the easiest for resetting the post. I have no problem...

    The right parts for a clutch basket CCT upgrade?

    Thanks much! Time to place my order and get set to spin some wrenches. I have already ordered the EBC clutch tool, btw.

    The right parts for a clutch basket CCT upgrade?

    From a previous post on this forum (thanks) I learned of the desirability of upgrading my +8K miles 2012 S10 with a newer clutch basket and CCT. I'm pasting in a screenshot from my cart at Partzilla; does it look like I've chosen the proper components?

    Upgrades for low-mile 2010?

    I have a local Cycle Gear. I don't suppose that you mean that the holder tool was a loaner? If not, what was the approximate cost?

    Vibration reduction?

    I'll need to read up on the TB re-sync, to see if I need any specialized tools. I'm going to start planning the clutch basket replacement this week.

    Upgrades for low-mile 2010?

    OK, I've been doing some searching on this forum, and have already gotten some responses from a prior query regarding vibration reduction, which pointed me to some issues that I did not know of. My 'new' 2012 has +8K miles (I'm the 3rd owner!), and I'm thinking that I may keep it a long time if...

    Vibration reduction?

    Guess I need to search the forum with regards to the clutch basket and the Cam Chain Tensioner...

    Vibration reduction?

    Thanks all. Guess I should have mentioned; mines a 2012, so I guess it's Gen1. Bought it last year with only 5.5K miles. It was immaculate condition (still is), and I'm up to a bit better than 8K miles now. Is the Gen 2 bike really that much better, assuming one is not really planning on riding...

    Vibration reduction?

    I've been thinking about getting something to hopefully reduce a bit of the handlebar vibration---any suggestions?
