Clutch Spring Install VS1400
This page was originally made for shims,
which did the SAME job
as the Clutch Springs from Ryan
Winters now perform.
Information has been Updated for
that purpose
Picture 1
N2rock's alternative to a bike lift--worked
great!

First drop
the front footpeg assembly

You will need to unbolt the brake line bracket

After dropping the exhaust header, remove the remaining bolts to the clutch
cover and stick them into a cardboard diagram to keep track of them
...because there are many different sizes!
Carefully remove the clutch cover and see if the gasket is reusable
(Don't lose the two locating dowels at 10 o'clock and 4 o'clock!)
Picture7
Remove one clutch bolt at a time

...and insert a new SPRING over the clutch bolt (disregard
the washers in the picture)

Then torque the clutch bolts to the proper specification (8-12 N-m, or 71-106
in lb. or 6ft lbs - 8.5 ft lbs)
Note the TORQUE specs in
3 different values, depending
upon what you are used to
Reverse the process
to reassemble. The clutch is just a wee bit stiffer, but the slippage is GONE!
Nothing but pure TORQUE! Be careful downshifting--both N2rock and I lost rear
wheel traction when we released the clutch downshifting and the rear wheel grabbed.
Don't worry--we'll get used to having TORQUE ON DEMAND again!
