clutch help
« on: May 16, 2019, 03:29:15 PM »
Hi,
Looking at the clutch on my 400 today, theirs the usual play between the gear and basket which I am not bothered about,
but what worries me is the basket has scoring/grinding marks near the rivets on the inside, there not deep only just detectable by finger nail, should I be worried, has someone opened it. I've tapped the rivets and their not moving. hopefully the photos show it.

Interesting. They are not rotational marks 🤔

Those rivets look like they've only got a flange on the one side and are a loose fit.  It's been buggered about with.
Where's that 10mm socket got to?

Looks like it's been done by PO 'working' on it. I had the problem with play in the gear which was causing 'slap' similar to a slack chain. I bought a s/h one off ebay with very little play which cured the problem

Has someone got a picture of the inside of the clutch outer, so I can see what the rivets should look like.

Thanks for the pictures Graham and for all the comments, I think the rivets look the same flush with the surface, so I will clean and put it back in.
Cheers Neil

Could the "file" marks be someone's attempt to clean up the slots the clutch plates engage with?
nice bike,nothing in the bank
