And that OMRON High Current relay will be the Digi-Key part # Z5645-ND . http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/omron-electronics-inc-emc-div/G8HE-1C7T-R-DC12/Z5645-ND/2755412

Oh NO ! I am wrong & Gary is correct !

Yes it is.

Amen .

If you have compressed air , use it to blow out the goo . The safest "solvent" would be kerosene or diesel fuel . Less flammable than gasoline . Finish off with Brake -Kleen . Clean the Clutch hub off with a wire brush on a handle ( it looks like a tooth brush for the Tin Man ) then a liberal amount of dry film graphite spray .

I am going to buy a clutch alignment tool from Harper's & was wondering .

What is the difference in the splines between the 5 & 6 speed clutches of the V11 ?

I have found Dri-Lube Plus to be the best dry film graphite spray . www.certifiedlabs.com is the website . When anything is applied to anything you must used conservative amounts as with anything. Pete you should listen / watch the video . I think you will agree it needs to come apart and repaired .

The 8T2T-14B192-BA is the engineering # Ford assigns to ( it is printed, engraved, etc. on) a part when it is manufactured. The Ford part # is 8T2Z-14N089-B . It retails for $17 and change . More than you can buy from other sources we have been discussing here. It is good to know if you get in a bind you can get one from any Ford dealer .

I don't kmow how I wrecked my edit but I will try again . You will need to disassemble this and apply lube to all splined areas . FIRST you must remove all rust and clean the areas because rust is a great abrasive . I would apply lube to the release fingers and clean and lubricate the release bearing with a good disc brake wheel bearing grease .

Can you say more about that? I mean, would you basically spray the whole inside of the flywheel and the transmission input gear? And do you mean anti-seize paste - like the silver (or copper) stuff you put on bolt threads? My BMW specifies a Staburags (NBU 30 PTM) grease for the splines, which is so thick and sticky you have to brush it on. But the splines on the BMW are tiny in comparison to the Guzzi splines. I have some of that. I just put a clutch back together yesterday, but didn't lube it. It's easy-access now... any extra advice appreciated. .

Docc , where did you get this part # 8T2T-14B192-BA ? Do you have an application for this relay ?

I have access to Ford / Motorcraft part info & I will look into it in the a.m. . I will post what I find .

Hansson , the flywheel looks awful . It should be ( if at all possible ) replaced . This may not fix your noise but the teeth are in bad shape . When this is done you should use a dry film graphite spray or a good anti-seize lube on the splines on anything with splines . The clutch release bearing (as shown in parts diagram) is a Torrington bearing and appears to be where the sound is coming from . The part # is 12 08 70 01 in the 2002 V11 LeMans parts catalogue .

What did you expect ?

When this discussion reaches half time , what is the best relay to put in each position ?

Brother , I feel for you .

The one constant scraping sound that exists when the clutch is pulled in , is (in my opinion) the throwout bearing .The other sound(s) I am not sure of . I am sure you will have to disassemble the clutch to find the problems.

You don't .

Get it . PERIOD .

We have the freedom of choice......

Looks good . Get it !

No....none at all !

You can but , there is no "give" whatsoever with this type of setup .

When you mount this link , these two mounting bolts need to be tightened with normal rider weight on the bike .
