Muzzy Clutch install help needed
First off..please go easy on me, my full pipe instalation/PCIIR has been the biggest job I have done to my bike thus far (I am mechanically challenged). I know most of you guys/gal do all your own work to your bikes, so I am hoping I can get some info from you all regarding the install of a muzzy clutch kit. I am debating just having the dealer do it or ordering the parts from Muzzy or Spencer cycle and doing the job myself.
What kind of work and time am I going to be looking at?
What kind of tools will I need.....above and beyond the basics?
Am I going to need any gaskets or other parts not in the clutch kit?
I am assuming I will need to drain the oil (therefore...oil and filter will be needed)?
I searched for clutch and muzzy and printed all the info I could find but never really found any step by step directions..........or is this going to be a lot easier than I am thinking? Thanks for the help!

P.s.......as long as I am doing upgrades, I might as well get the s.s. lines from Spencer cycle and some new HH pads as well........are their any tricks to doing this install, or will it be as easy as it is on a car? Thanks again for helping the "mechanically challenged"

Clutch install is a breeze!! Really need access to at least an impact wrench, and s few sockets. Install will take you a couple of hours if you are not mechanically inclined. Clutch goes back in like it came out. Change the oil while you are at it. I always soak the clutch fibres for at least 30 minutes, sometimes overnight. Seems to work better for me first time.

WOW.......I totally missed the clutch install info on the spencer cycle page! That info is awesome.....looks like that info should do the trick! Looks like I will be ordering all the stuff from Spencer and doing the job myself, I will take the money saved from doing the install myself and buy the needed tools. If I get stuck, I always have the great people here to help me out! Thanks for the info.
If anyone that reads this has any other tips that might help, please post away....I will have some time to read up until the stuff arrives.
Still looking for any tips on the Brake pad/lines install...should be straight forward but just want to know for sure so I can order things upfront (less downtime=more ride time!) Thanks!

If you have a big dick and you want to stick it in her ass...use a good lubricant. If you're dick is small...just spit on her asshole.
