Had the clutch cover off b4,
attempting to sort sticky gear shifts when hot,
especially 3-2nd,
getting really stiff after 15mins riding.
Noticed this below, so the oem plastic ones back in for the time being.

Think i may haver dodged a potetnial bullet tonight?^^^ See the crack?
Clutch gasket came off proper good - 1 piece intact-cos i oiled both sides
b4 doing the slipper. I also soaked my new plates in fresh oil for 3 days
dried for 2 on brown paper when i did the slipper install few mnths back.
It all looked really good inside the basket etc, hardly any wear.
Going to say i caused that crack in the oil pump gear somehow,
but dont know how exactly.
I did leave a washer out installing slipper cos it was stuck to the bottom of the old inner clutch basket i swapped out for slipper, didnt see it dismantling, so first time i started & released the clutch in 1st it stalled -->wasnt disengaging, stripped it back down & i re did it all with said washer, and seemed fine after that, very good.
That was couple months ago.^
Slowly the gear shifting went real #@*$# [crap] on me.
Also found the sprung roller bearing, that sits on the gear selector star,
was loose--> the 10mm bolt what holds it in, torqued that up,
put oem plastic oil pump gear in, stacked the plates
[carefully] and buttoned it up.
Did oil/filter change as i put 3000+ klms on since May.
Took for a spin just then, seemed absolutely unreal,
clinically clean shifting now. Engine sounds great!
Got up to about 76 degrees no issues so far, going
for a longer late nighter soon to
put it to the proper test,
but i think i mighta have fixed it & VERY GLAD
i trusted my mechanical instincts
not to keep riding it.
Imagine if that gear shattered inside??
Gut feeling.....was right!!!
Big shout to mad8vskillz & Matt does amazing shyt
for there very helpful sv/clutch vids on the tubes.
@mad8vskillz
You know that Cheap Chinko clutch lever in your vid, [same 1 i got lol]
i thought same thing--> way too much lateral play,
so i tightened both little allen bolts up on it and voila,
1 much tighter cheap Chinko clutch lever.
Problem solved!
Just a tip. ^^
The moral of my story is;
"if thine offends thee-fix the bloody thing".
dont frigg around waiting for it to get worse....
luvs yous all always from dave aye.
