    My Release Rack is Loose

    Is this normal for a '82 650? I have about 3/4 inch of play after removing my clutch plate cover. It also wiggles around. Thanx!

    Is the big hub nut loose ? How does the washer look that locks the hub nut ? These are aluminum nuts that have been known to get loose. There is an APE billet nut for 25 bucks that should fix that. Best way to attack that is to have or borrow an impact driver.

      Its right in the middle of the 6 clutch springs. It has 6 notches on it that act with the exterior clutch assembly. According to clymer's, it called a "release rack", Thanx again.

        Sorry but not understanding the question. Some photos showing the problem would be helpful.

          Yes

          That's OK

          It's just a pulling (outward) mechanism. Once you remove the rack, it just sits there loose

          You'll see once you pull the pressure plate
