Clutch change - R1100Gs... Any hints/tips for a first timer?

[BeerEnthusiast]

Hi All.

About to order a new clutch for my 1100 - this will be the first time I've done this, and I'd like to make sure I do it right.

Ordering a complete clutch kit from James Sherlocks (Part Ref: 204001)

Are there any ancillary components I will need besides this? (Seals, washers, bolts, unique tools etc).

Additionally, are there any time saving tips, or warnings form experience, that anyone would like to share? I'm aware that not pulling the gearbox cleanly away form the clutch housing can result in a bent clutch pushrod, so will be using a trolley jack and 3 pairs of steady hands...

All advice much appreciated

Also be gentle when pulling apart switches like the rear brake switch and the neutral and gear switches. It is easy to damage these by stretching brittle wiring or bending the pins in the switch!
Keep it simple and be methodical and you will be fine!
