Clutch Swap Time....Advice please?

Recommended Posts

IS the clutch replacement procedure the same for a V11 Lemans, I assume so.  Do I need any special tools from the dealer?

 

Leaking oil in the back of the motor, bad seal on the main shaft?

 

I assume this leaking is what is causing my clutch to slip after 28,000.00 miles?

 

Thanks

Get a drop of that oil on your finger and give it a sniff.

 

Does it smell like gear oil or motor oil? If the former, it is the pushrod seal.

I fear to hear your answers.... but.... my 2002 V11 Scura 2 months ago started making a squeaking noise.... :huh2:

 

before when i did burnout starting from traffic lights...

 

then also when i climb roads, only with open throttle in low RPM, i mean, when the engine is stressed and under effort...

 

yesterday did that dreadful noise at high RPM.... VERY LOUDY....

 

so the question is.... is that the clutch?

 

i'm at 23k km....

 

........i'm considering putting in the 2 disk friction....

How much did the new twin plate clutch cost? Us fellow single platers want to know :grin:

uh...i don't know if it's an "official" price.... but at least half than new parts... they are - i think - used parts from a california... later i can tell more when i get it home ;)

Does anyone know yet what percentage of V11 single platers have grenaded? If it's a fatigue problem common to all of that design the incidence should be rising as the stock of bikes with those clutches ages....
