As I have stated before... I needed to get the owner to cough up any money on the project. The owner is my buddy, Sgt's, friend. Well the owner decided he didn't want to put any money into it... so we put it back together. The work that was done may have been in vein, but could be picked up where it was left off. BUt till then... it sits all empty and drained of life... so sad...

Now onward to bikes that make progress...
After I got measurements on the Primo clutch pack in Chopper Nick's AIH. I was even more pushed away from the idea of the clutch itself being the problem. Went back to some of the other components. Ball ramp good. BUt then once I cleaned it up a bit and at the suggestion of some other guys I went at the throw out bearing. It looked ruff, but didn't realize how bad till we got it apart!!!
WOW!!!
There is suppose to be very small needle bearings in there
That's ok... a $8 part and that is fixed
Obvoiusly buttoned the primary all back up
Got the rod back in and the ball ramp back on
Adjusted it and it seemed better. To me, still not 100%. Will take it for a test ride once we get the ignition replaced. If not the ends of the clutch rods are worn a bit... and this will be the next attack.
So the ignition that we were hoping to get in from FedEx today, wasn't in... but no reason we couldn't get a jump start (no pun intended)...
Pull the rear wheel
Rear axle and spacers... always worth noting their correct position (also note the lack of dirt and sand on the lift)
Removed the rear wheel to gain access to where AIH put the ignition. Yep on the front of the rear splash gaurd. Just out of reach of getting to it from above the tranny.
$138 + S&H for this thing
But damn... look at all the dirt and sand that came out from behind the ignition... no wonder it went to shit, cause you know water took it up there!!
All ready for the new ignition and more miles
