CLUTCH WASHER STACKUPS:
Once the clutch is removed, and cool to touch, carefully put it into a vice and
remove the center shoulder bolt out of each clutch shoe. You will probably have
to heat the center hub again to remove the bolts. Once you get a bolt loosened,
carefully remove it with the shoe and observe the way the spring washers are
stacked.
CAUTION:
It is very important that the clutch stack be reassembled as it was disassembled
unless new shoes are being installed then it is important to reinstall per figure 15.

Clutch shoe wear:
•
If the clutch has been slipping and shows signs of glazing, it is best to replace
the shoes. We have found that once the shoes are glazed, even if deglazed
with emery paper or a file, the performance is reduced.

The best way to prevent glazing is by not gearing too high, changing the oil as
specified and by not blipping the throttle. Every time you blip the throttle, you
are working your clutch springs.
specified and by not blipping the throttle. Every time you blip the throttle, you
are working your clutch springs.
CAUTION:
The clutch produces a tremendous amount of heat and when a rider is blipping
the throttle. This makes the clutch and clutch springs wear out quicker. This also
makes your engine tend to run hotter which decreases engine power and
degrades ignition stator efficiency. It is important to train your rider NOT to be a
throttle 'blipper'.
