Greetings all,
I’m a semi regular follower of this excellent forum. Could any of you comment on how far one should take PMs for oilhead input splines? I’ve reviewed many of the posts on this site including Dana’s thread which I didn’t want to highjack.
My bike is stored in Vancouver BC – I intend to do some touring on the west coast this summer. It has just 28,000 miles (44K Km) but don’t want to be stranded on a long ride. The bike’s fully bars; lowered with a 25 litre tank for long distance touring, etc. I figured its best to clean & lubricate the input splines before there’s too much wear. Here’s a picture if anyone’s interested.
I know it’s ugly.…but it’s effective. I’ve kept all the original parts for the next guy.
The last spline inspection showed a slight increase in play from the year before. I estimate movement to be less than 2mm at the outside of the clutch. I’m assuming that the friction disk & slave cylinder seals should be replaced at the very least.
My questions for you are:
Should the complete clutch pack be replaced?
Should I replace the clutch slave cylinder or is a seal kit OK?
Are there engine & transmission seals that are easily replaced?
Would a JL paralever bushing kit be a good proactive measure?
Thanks in advance,
Charles
