CB400 4 Clutch Basket

<< < (3/3)

ozzybud:
When the bike is running. It's a very loud clanking coming from the clutch area. Pull the dipstick and the decibel level goes way up! The noise does not go away by pulling the clutch in. It does go away at speed due to centrifugal force or the like. So it's just annoying at idle.You won't see any wear on the clutch basket assembly. There will be slop between the gear and the basket itself. The rubbers are fully encased between the riveted plate and the rear of the gear. So the cracked and brittle rubbers can not get into the crankcase.

Thankfully I am not aware of any clutch noises atm

Did you find the work in the listing such as countersigning the plate easy?

ozzybud:
I bought the kit that came with a new plate that was already  Countersunk. I had to slightly countersink the aluminum mating surface for relief . The heads did not or were not intended to go down totally flush. They stuck up about  0.5 mm. A bonus was the existing holes in the basket were the perfect size to recieve a 5 mm tap.

Laverda Dave:
Max supplied me with the csk screws for my clutch kit Ted. He also advised me to use some green loctite on the threads in addition to staking them as a precaution.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
The staking sounds a good idea Dave - especially on a small screw.
I guess one good punch mark will suffice with a good sharp punch.
