Like I said, I don't know how things are done in Canada but here in the good old USA the following materials were cut and pasted from different gasket ads.
And everyone here will take as gospel any and all quotes that someone will post from 'Gus' the dealer mechanic. Lead had been, and is being removed from just about everything here. Lead melts at 621 F, exhaust gasses easily reach 1200-1500 F, do the math. Maybe that's why the last crush gaskets I bought (HD) were 6061 aluminum core with a copper exterior. How many clutch side covers have YOU reinstalled? I've lost count, and haven't had one problem with using a bit of silicone to hold things in place. I hope you and 'Gus' have fun together. MT Knitted and compressed stainless steel wire Includes square profile compressed-wire gaskets Wire mesh crush style Steel core with Fire ring armor Fiber gasket with copper fire ring

Now The EPA and the lot will do back flips and cartwheels over lead. Not to mention your sphencter growing a new eye over the lead contamination, and toxicity.... Remember, they removed it from gasoline, and lead was a major lubricant in the full and boosted octane.... Thanks MAS....and the others, consider yourself a expert after you surpass the # of fingers on both hands, either by choice or by accident. Yep, they don't make lead anything too much anymore. You can melt lead with your cigarette lighter! I do have a really sweet large lead hammer though I use when I really wanna frak something up.....

The dealer you talked to was blowing smoke up your a$$ or simply was making stuff up because he didn't know what he was talking about. Just about anything to do with an engine is likely to be labeled "dispose properly" because of oil or other chemical contamination, or the presence of any number of metals other than lead. Phenolic gaskets are used where heat transfer would be a problem, such as using a phenolic gasket to insulate a carburetor from the heat of an engine in some designs. There is no good reason to put a phenolic gasket on a clutch cover. |

I have attached relevant excerpts from the official Kawasaki nomad vn1500fi service manual.
The clutch hub nut is removed by an impact wrench--electric corded will do instead of an air impact wrench (no locking gear, penny etc is required) it comes off in seconds. the clutch hub nut is installed by tightening the clutch hub nut to 108 ft lb while holding the primary gear nut. the primary gear nut is torqued to 108 ft lb. unless you are using an impact wrench there should be no problems with overtorquing or stripping. I experienced no problems. Please note that the procedure for a 1600 nomad and 1700 nomad are different. On the 1600 nomad you apparently have to lock the gears. I would suggest before commencing work you obtain the service manual. It was available from manuals4mechanics.com on cd that was keyword searchable. that is where I got mine, but I looked today and for some reason the 2000-2004 Kawasaki fi nomad series manual is no longer listed. It was a nominal $9.95 us and if ordered on ebay he would email you a copy within 1 day or sooner so you could use it right away as well as mailing you a cd. Dont know why he wouldn't still have one available. |

A selection of free manuals are available from
https://www.vulcanrider.se/en/kawasa...rvice-manuals/ including 1700 nomad, 1600 nomad, vaquero, etc. but not the 1500 nomad fi. However, they do have the 1500 nomad 1998-99 (carbed) I believe other than carb versus fi, the bikes are basically the same, except I do note some differences, for example on the carbed the clutch hub nut is torqued to 110 ft lbs. versus fi where it is torqued to 108 ft lbs. However, the clutch plate, spring install on my cursory, quick review seems the same, including using a wrench on the primary gear during the clutch hub nut torquing. they appear to be waiting for someone to upload the 1500 fi service manual. |

As MAS has told everyone, the way to tell the diff. between the 1500/1600s, the 1600s have the scalloped covers on top of the heads.....

Thanks for the manual link Mick. Washers are in customs at border. Going to get the cam chain extensions too. Can get at dealer here in Canada for 9 bucks CAD!

So I finally get it together and fire it up and it is making a racket inside the clutch cover. I have clutch and it will move but I don't like the noise. Going to tear it back down again yet has anyone experienced this? Thanks.
