Hi
Wanting to replace clutch plates on my rsvr but manual i downloaded although good in a lot of respects is poor on this.
Any advice , links please?
:confused
 
take off, put back. you don't really need a manual to change the damn clutch plates...
 
LOL, Yep that was the ticket mate LOL I have a manual on disk that i could copy and send if you get stuck or no-one directs you to a good one matey. Cheers Jonny
 
Hey i know a good idea, change your engine, just undo it lift it out, put new one in, do it up, hey presto! LOL If you do get stuck mate i am only in sleaford Lincs.

Followed your advice mate but got a few bits and pieces left over. Can you pop over and give a hand? LOL

HMMMMMM, thats the problem i always have LOL shall we just call Stress from Romania to help us out as he says its shimplesss.??
 
come on! there are 8 or 10 (can't remember for sure now) 4 mm allen head bolts that hold the clutch cover in place. undo them, take the cover off. use a 17 mm spanner and a 6 mm allen key, slacken the 17 mm nut with the spanner holding the allen key, remove the diaphragm and shims (don't forget the order they came out), get a 10 mm socket wrench, undo the 6 bolts that hold the springs and clutch plate, slide the clutch plate and clutch rod off, get the old plates out, in with the new. reassembly is in the reverse order. simple :)

the only need for the manual is if you have a torque wrench because it states to what values you have to tighten the bolts too. you probably don't have one since you need guidance to change the clutch plates since it is after all a specialised tool. don't worry, i've had to change clutch plates in the past witout a torque wrench, never had any trouble from not using it.

Ah, so in that case, please can you descirbe to me how to purge a DN450 main following a cut through, or complete a resection using a robitic leica 1201 or change a tubular with glue? what we are saying is, it may be easy for you to complete this task as you know what you are doing, Just as i know what i am doing with the above and also to change a clutch, however not everyone does and therfore it is nice to have asistance in form of experianced person or manual. No one is haing ago but help is easily given and gratefully recieved when given in the correct manner. Cheers Jonny

Funny you should mention the Leica TCP1201, mines been a nightnare, perhaps you'll take a look at it when you are over looking at the my engine replacement. lol

LOL, mine drove me mad, whilst working on railways, set up on one platform just start completing a topo and then a train comes and i lose signal. Once a member of public knocked it over as it was "in their way" lol........ still the best total staions though. i went to another company and was given a topcon which was *****!!!!!!!!

Hmmm ok managed that with my limited experience but actually still needed the manual which i downloaded and was pretty straight forward as it happens but there are more plates than stated and have 'laurente' stamped on the outer solid plate { Not important really spose as the clutch plates all look the same but have a dark grey fibre / carbon looking material and not the cork i expected }. Three of the metal plates were a dark blue colour like u get on british exhaust pipes and very shiny but i used 2000 grade and they are now dull. Also noticed there is another oil filter in the V of the fairing before the ordinary one and the throttle bodies have 'laurente 60mm' stamped on them too?? and the air filter is a large orange one covering the intakes.Probably an update or something.
My mate reckons they should be 53mm but anyway no matter it looks to have cured the problem of the slipping clutch.
Thanks to all appreciate it.:)
