Tommy, you can do as you like, but consider this. I started my wrenching career by buying an XJ550 Yamaha in NC for $200. Once I finally got it to run, I found out that the clutch slipped like crazy. The plates didn't look bad, so I just put springs in it. It was fine and never slipped again. Sold it that way. That's why, when the Magna started slipping, I bought springs and bolts for it. Thing is, it only slipped in the winter. When the weather warmed up, it was fine, even if I jumped on it. Well, I didn't ride it so much in the winter, so I never got around to it. Sold it that way.
Also, you're going to be breaking the seal on the case. You can either buy a gasket or make your own. I remember Allen recommending coating your cover edges with oil, setting it on some bulk gasket material from the auto parts store, and cutting out your own. Permatex also does the job, I've found. If this is on a 700SC, Partzilla has it for like $4, so I guess it's a non-issue. Javier, remember how the clutch was slipping badly on Ol' Yeller? My buddy Jim up in Maine looked at it and decided the cable needed more slack. Two minutes later, it was fixed and has never slipped again. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
