Justarn Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Why is this wire between my clutch plates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastbob Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 WTF ? Why indeed , how or why that has got in there I have no idea . I can only assume it is the sorry aftermath of some horrible bodge or perhaps somebody was using it as an improvised tool and left it in there .

Have a look at part 8 .https://www.cmsnl.com/yamaha-xjr1200-1996-4pu3-england-264pu-300e1_model39180/partslist/0016.html#.WzZm9-JFw0N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastbob Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Here's a close up from the same link , it looks a bit different from the drawing but definitely supposed to be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justarn Posted June 29, 2018 Author Share Posted June 29, 2018 Yep, found it on the manual after lol, it had dislocated and way rubbing between my clutch plates. I've fitted it back in and my clutch now works and goes into neutral while running:-)Also fitted my homemade clutch window while I was at it.

Would it not be wise to buy a new one ? How did you make the clutch window BTW? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justarn Posted June 29, 2018 Author Share Posted June 29, 2018 It seemed pretty resilient to my bending, managed to seat it back it the groove tight. It cant really go anywhere if it comes out and I will know due to the clutch drag, if so a new one is a must I think.I already had a gasket from the window project so whacked that on.The middle of the xjr clutch cover bolts out, I bolted it out, cut off the bolt holes, bought high temp oil resistant mastic and lexan perspex. Cut it and masticed it on.... I've since added another bead around the rough bit bottom left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are reasons why engine designers use bolted metal covers with gaskets......the ability to replace them with polyacrimide windows held in with glue generally isn't one of them.

Justarn Posted June 30, 2018 Author Share Posted June 30, 2018 Ok I get your point but sarcasm is a bit insulting tbh. Maybe I will refit the stock one. Although I'm pretty sure it would start weeping before it just falls out lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
