blackhawkxx Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Try here:http://www.hdlparts.com/fiche_section_detail.asp Which is hondadirectline.com for 1999-03, it shows a total of 7 friction disc (it seems to be 2 of one kind and 5 of another) and 6 plates. The clutches for 97-98 are different. I have not used Honda direct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clutches for 97-98 are different. I have not used Honda direct. Honda Directline is about 4 blocks away from where i work. Also I am friends with the owner. If I can be of any help let me know. Or give Directline a call at 1-888-258-6699 and ask to speak with Drew. Drew is a good friend and is very knowledgable with the fiche / part numbers.

The Ron Ayers fiche say's there 2 plates and 4 disks(2 of each kind) What that hell? Sorry I'm a little late on this one. The fiche is just an artists representation. Repetitive items aren't pictured, so you can't use it as a definitive guide. For instance, only one clutch spring is depicted.......you know there's six. Why in the world do you need to replace all your disks and plates??? :icon_think: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been feeling a little lazy and I don't take chances on my trip Across the country Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockmeupto125 Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 How many miles on it, for crying out loud? I've never had to replace a clutch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverbird1100 Posted January 2, 2007 Author Share Posted January 2, 2007 How many miles on it, for crying out loud? I've never had to replace a clutch. 50,000. It doesn't need replaced, just preventative+piece of mind+felt like the springs were loosing thier bite. I shift waaaaay to much I guess.

Northman Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 How many miles on it, for crying out loud? I've never had to replace a clutch. +1 I'm still using the stock clutch, with the exception of some HD springs on my big bore, and NO issues at all. Even abused at the strip a few times now.

silverbird1100 Posted January 2, 2007 Author Share Posted January 2, 2007 Also, I asked on this site if I should bother checking the tolerances and just about everyone said if you are going to check it out, you might as well replace everything. So I did. Thread title "should I even bother?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockmeupto125 Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 I checked the thread, and I read it as 3 to 2 against doing anything with the clutch. No matter, its your decision, and certainly not a bad one. Its never a bad decision to replace components that normally wear. Unnecessary, perhaps, but not bad. Make sure you pull your clutch rod completely out and clean it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
