Sprocket cover. I am breaking things.

[Freestyle72]

I put maybe like 10ft-lbs on the adjuster nut and bam it snapped right away. Was very strange. Furthermore I was trying to adjust it because I switched to cable clutch from hydraulic and I was putting my sprocket cover on and the clutch lever was very stiff and wouldn't disengage the clutch. Any ideas what's going on here? I was really hoping to be back on the road by next week. But that really isn't gunna happen anymore..

FS,
If someone can send you picture of how it looks as 1 piece and refering to the micro-fiche I would think you can easily fix this.
as you can see the whole thing was originally held by 4 tack welds you cab organise that surely ?

[Freestyle72]

Yup gunna have it rewelded .

I just gotta get my clutch plates to unbind. Any ideas?

[thatkid]

This is a guess.

I've never swapped a swinger, nor had to change to a ZX6R front sprocket for chain alignment (as you have), you did use a 520 lighter version? (im guessing lighter also means a thinner chain) if not the clutch push assembly could be hitting the possibly thicker chain, causing the stiff non disengaging clutch.

As i say this is a guess, maybe one of the members who have done the ZX6R front sprocket, can shed light.

[Freestyle72]

No there is no contact between the mechanisms. Good thinking though.

[thatkid]

Did you use a 520 chain and sprockets? why do the members who have done the "ZX6R front sprocket" say a 520 is necessary?

When you attempt to disengage the clutch, the clutch push assembly will move towards the chain/sprocket.

What are these marks? contact with the chain? but it's not normal wear and tear. Just hoping you get her on the road soon.

[Freestyle72]

Yes I am using a 520. You are reading too much into the marks . I checked there is definately no contact.

[thatkid]

Oh well NM, good luck getting her on the road next week,

You should also inform Modking that his hydraulic clutch doesn't work on a ZX6R front sprocket with 520 chain/sprockets

Ninja sprocket on up front


Modking's hydraulic clutch is in the way of the chain. I am going to need to go back to clutch cables unless one of you guys has an idea. Also I am not even sure what it looked like with clutch cables... But my GSXR front end has cable stuff so I rather switchback anyway.

FS,
I know apicture is worth a1k of words but I GUESS that is your freshly repaired clutch adjuster ?

Mawler surely the plate with hydraulics can be spaced out (washers initially to get correct size ) but frankly that lock nut on your fr. sprocket does not look like it has sufficient threads engaged.
Back when I was an apprentice (To F'ing long ago to go with total recall I seem to remember that nuts should engage the thread with 4 full turns showing clear even on aeronuts/ nylocks etc.

Me i would be looking at a source of thread lock solution if not a tack weld

[Freestyle72]

Slapped it back on the bike. The push lever assembly just needed to be re-greased it works great now. God damn are the springs ever stiff though stupid barnet springs. Oh well I will get used to it. That's the nice thing about hydraulic I guess is that you don't really notice the stiffness.





So ya it's isn't really binded. I blame the lack of grease in the push lever assembly. Oh well. Alls well that ends well.

[Freestyle72]

It's safety wired Georgy! I should add some locktight later. But I put it on there with an impact wrench, and then safety wired it tight.
