Cb750 clutch replacement

(1/2) > >>

Paulreade:
I've never replaced a clutch on a motorcycle but I need to do mine on the k6. I'm relatively ok at a DIY mechanics level - is it a relatively simple job to do, is there anything I need to watch out for. I will seek guidance from YouTube etc before I start and read the text available on line. I'm going to change the oil at the same time so I assume once drained I can set the bike on its centre stand rather than the side stand to prevent any seepage ??????
The clutch is almost at the extent of the lever being entirely out ( even with proper adj) and it clatters like hell when the clutch lever is out on tickover, so I'm hoping I will get some improvement when complete. I may have to check the carb balancing to ease some of the clatter as I believe that is generally the cause ?

Fairly easy job to do, but you will need a clutch nut spanner, plenty on e-bay, but don't get ripped off on price! Changing the plates will do nothing to quieten the rattle on the 750 motor, nearly always down to carb balance. You'll find it easier to work on the clutch with the bike on sidestand if you haven't got a bench, saves getting a stiff neck getting down to see what you're doing!

Paulreade:
Ah that's why it needs to be on the side stand ?. I thought it was something to do with the oil level !.

Trigger:
Clutch rattle is the characteristics of the 750 SOHC, early ones even rattle more  ;)

My k8 does it. My 78 dt175mx does it. My 87 XT600 doesn't.
They all work OK though
