Yeah the disks were not snug in the basket. Toodeep and fish pointed that out for me. Once I got it all back together again was having issues with the case cover. It did snug up properly when I put it back together the first time but then I learned some things the second time. Your thread for putting the cover back on, from July I think, was very helpful. Followed your instructions to the T. Ended up ordering another clutch adjustment bolt, seal, nut. The previous one seamed like someone put the wrong nut on and jacked up the threads. The triangle piece wouldn’t adjust the way I needed it to. She’s back together now. Purring with no ticks. Pretty stoked.

She done. This thread helped a ton. It helped with the particulars of a rookie putting it back together. Appreciate the thread. @shadetree @Fishfiles @toodeep Thanks guys 65334690922__9DCF01BC-6668-4AFC-81B0-06B8A0947193.MOV

Ok. Thanks again for the direction guys. The disks are snug. I did realize after fish’s and toodeep’s breakdown that the clutch basket was not coming forward like it should pinching the misaligned disks. The Kickstarter is loaded with the washer on the back. The reverse lever is loaded. The orientation is lined-dot-arrow. The centrifugal one way bearing is faced outside. Clutch washers are faced outside. I noticed my clutch adjustment was not lined with the guide on inside of case. Pics attached. I’m waiting on the gasket. The bike will be like this with the case on (not bolted) till gasket gets here. Am I missing anything?

Awesome. Thanks guys. Really appreciate it. I’ll let you all know.

I do remember being worried that I tightened those too tight and backed off and remember the disks moving. From what your saying, the disks should be snug?

Hello. Me again… Replaced timing chain. So I got everything back together after installing the new timing chain. Had the bike turned on it’s side with the clutches facing up. The Kickstarter never came out and it stayed in place(wound up), lined up shifter on the secondary clutch(dot, arrow, the triangle bearing piece) put the reverse lever back on to what I though was correct. Hopefully my vocabulary is correct in describing everything. The Bike won’t move with throttle when in gear. Kickstarter doesnt have the resistance it did and won’t start the bike. She starts and purrs great with electric just won’t move. Feel like I’m gonna have to go back in the crankcase. Pretty sure I did something incorrectly. Anyone have experience with this?

Really don’t wanna do that again. Bolt extractors.

Yeah I figured I need to go back into the whole top. Imma pick up some left handed bits today. I have a lil 110 welder. Order some used bolts as well. Hopefully they are what the pic shows. Think I’m about to learn some patience the hard way. When I took the top end apart the first time, I took my time on the bolts and then torqued them back to specs. Got in too much of a hurry this time. Frustrating…

Apologies. Both 34’s and both 35’s.

Yes.

Anyone know a trick to get the broken bolts out? The two long bolts and the two bolts next to the cam. 4 bolts total broke on the threads. Changing timing chain. Pretty depressed.

Can an idle be dialed in and still be lean? Meaning to the ear it sounds good but could be lean?

This is a question of ignorance. If the engine is running hot, which I’ve read they do, could it also be from running lean and heating the piston up too much? If it’s too lean, wouldn’t it idle different? Is it possible to have the idle dialed in but lean? Or am I over thinking it? They just run hot.

Some progress on the wheeler. My wife named her Renda. 1.5 spacers on the rear. 18’ stock rubicon wheels and tires. Still need to do the timing chain. Waiting on the gasket. Really need to do an oil cooler mod. Most likely with a fan. Hot in FL…
