G2 CSR Clutch
Posted: Thu Dec 27, 2007 7:08 pm
Hello All,
I know that somewhere in the forum this has cropped up but try as I might I can`t find it, on reassembling the clutch on my Matchless G2 CSR how do I set up the three springs? Does it affect the pressure required at the lever if I tighten them too much or does it just wreck the clutch? Also how much play should there be on the primary chain? Getting pretty fed up now, spent three hours in a freezing garage, on my knees, putting the engine and bits back, feeling pleased with how everything was going, photographing each stage, when I realised that I`d forgotten the back plate behind the clutch and front sprocket!! Doh..on undoing the wrongs I managed to pierce my finger with a bradawl (don`t ask!), rip off my right index finger nail(ouch) and trap my leg under the `bike when it slipped off the centre stand, we all know how useful they are, centre stands and legs!I`ll be using the side stand from now on, or a pile of old bricks.
Cheers, basketcase.
