No drive...

Steptoe · Aug 15, 2017

Bike came in with no drive.
Expected the clutch/gearbox splines to be stripped but it was quiet when in gear and engine running with no whizzy noise at all, complete silence.

Gearbox out to find the friction material has disintegrated. All that's left resembles bunches of hair.
Only the second time i've had a clutch failure in like this.

New complete clutch fitted with the optional longer section of splined shaft on the friction plate . Jobs a carrot.

Yes...... It's had a sidecar fitted that's been two up all around South America and clutch went while in Italy about to go up the Stella Alpina.

That'd bugger most clutches up.

I'm a bit out of touch, is the longer splined section now readily available?

Depends on your spannering skills and familiarity with the bike. The first time it will take you several hours probably but once you've done it a couple of times, or seen it done, 3-4 hours is realistically achievable.

Love his final comment, as a senior bike wrencher :
"If you have any other bolts left over, just throw them over a wall, nobody'll know..."

The plates with longer splines seem to only be available for hydraulic clutch bikes, did the 1100 not have the same issue, or is the market just too small now for them to produce them?
