    GS clutch strip and rebuild

    Hi all...

    Has anyone got a tried and tested method of replacing the damper springs in the rear of the clutch basket?

    I have straight cuts and new rivets to go in and presume you have to drill the old rivets out to alleviate pressure before pushing them out?? I am gonna weld the rivets once done.

    Never had to do one before and I've owned GSs for 25 years!!!!

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    cheers

    Good to see you around these parts. I had the rattling GS1000 clutch basket too due to loose springs in the back and a clutch hub rebuild kit plus some expert welding by GRC cured it. When installed the kit looks like this:

        Just grind the heads off, & press them out. Spring tension isn't a problem. How to get the crank apart to install the crank gear IS the problem. Recommend a qualified shop who has done it before, & learned the do's & dont's of the process.
