550 F2 started!
Oddjob:
Only one sprocket carrier in that pic Roo, bottom right. Same as 500 though. The chain guard is also the same. The hub is different from the 500 as is the brake plate and the sprocket spacer and the rear brake spacer.
The brake plate on the left looks like a 550F one Roo, in case you need one.
Laverdaroo:
I'm buying that one you refer to. I thought I had one in the bundle of gubbins I bought but it appears to be for a 500 and obviously wont fit. Hence the shout to Gary to see what he had.
Laverdaroo:
Right, so clutch question,
In the middle of the steels there is a big, fat ,almost double steel as indicated on the parts diagram but on all the vidoes I've seen of replacing these cltcheson the 550, they dont have them, is that because mine's and F2 and not a K?
It's not very clear from the parts manual as to whats what but if I reassemble in the order it came out I should be right? Right?
I diidnt take much notice upon taking it apart as it came out as one, glued together lump which was hastily zipped up in a bag and put in the nanny pile. It' only upon starting on that side of the motor I saw it and had to have a gander at the parts book.
Not seen one of these thick jobs before, whats the crack there then?
I'm sorted with the one big tooothed friction plate just not seen one of these before.
Bryanj:
Its there to try and stop clutch rattle, actually a gl1000 part. The top fibre plate should have wider "tangs" to fit in wider grooves in the basket. Later clutches are like it
Laverdaroo:
Thanks Bryan,
Yes I know about the wider tangs and its position, just not seen one of these before and watching a lot of how to vids and the like, I haven't seen anybody else with one in their clutch set up. Just got me interested enough to ask the question. Thanks Bryan.
