Sherm's Gorilla Clutch Install

kpmhspirit · 02-21-2011, 01:19 AM

Just finished installing complete clutch kit. I could have just done the Barnett washer replacement as advised here but decided since I was in there, I'd do the whole thing. It is a vast improvement though stiffer than the OEM was but not too bad. I posted some pictures of the process for anyone that is thinking about doing the same.

Thats a great documentation of the process. Im sure it will help a lot of guys get through there own repair. Nice pics showing everything as well.

Nice write up. Maybe Ring will post a link to it in the tech section?

One thing, the oil does not have to be drained if you do the clutch on the sidestand. I did mine that way and nary a drop was spilled.

Thanks for the great write up, with photos. Good for anyone attempting the clutch rebuild.

Thanks everyone. If it saves someone the cost of taking it to the dealer it is worth it.

Regarding the oil, everything I read said to drain the oil unless you lay the bike over. Oh well, needed an oil change anyway after sitting all winter.

Thanks again,

Pete
