    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

What's everyone do to told the inner and outer baskets so the clutch nut can be tightened? I tried a home made tool, but its not stout enough.

Thanks,
 
If the engine is in the bike, you can put the bike in gear and step on the brake pedal.

I can't remember how I did it with the engine out. I think I used the countershaft nut on the front sprocket.

Some take an old clutch steel and weld a rod onto it.
I do it like above ^

If you've got a Haynes shop manual, grab that and read it rather than the following paraphrase:

You can also build a clutch holder out of a couple of flat bars of 1/8" steel: bend two L finger-ends in the bars, drill a hole in the middle of both, and hinge them (like a pair of pliers) with a bolt through the holes. This is a poor description, but the idea is a shop-made version of these:

I made a similar tool using rebar and an old clutch plate. A friend welded it together (bless him). It worked beautifully!
 
Sharpy, Thanks, Here's mine, it worked great. I used 3 plates to distribute the load, but yours is prettier.:D

I had read the Haynes manual and made 2 L brackets of 1/8" x 1 1/4 " flat bar stock, but even if they were bolted together, they would have needed to be spread.

Hopefully, Here is the picture of the tool I made using rebar.
