on removing the big nut ...................................use a breaker bar & keep it 90degrees
sometimes it gets off angle & can cause further problems

it is improper to use an impact......................sure it gets the job done

except it knackers the threads .........................resulting in a less likely

situation that your torque of the reapplied big nut will be correct

that applies to ANY fastener !!!!!!!!

if you want it to be right ..........

or stay right

IMPACTS ARE NOT USED
good mechanics know this...... great mechanics do this

they make a clutch basket holding tool

just take a hand full of old steels...........drill holes in them

then turn them & weld them to each other with the teeth matching

then weld you a 1foot or 2 foot handle to them

slidwe that onto the basket........................stops it from turning

you will be changing out clutches ....plates etc

youve made a tool you can use from now on,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Correctly

make the handle long enuf to snub under the foot or on top
you can tighten ot loosen w/o doing any damage at all !!

i know guys that use many methods......................one that sends chills down my spine

put bike in gear.......stand on rear brake

use monster impact on nut.....................................D A M N ! thats wrong

that can cause tranny problems

so make you a homegrown clutch tool that will easily pay for itself

Any time you see scattering like that you have to wonder about impact shock. You've see the cager not preload his drive train, just high rpm and dumping the clutch. This shock action usually takes out the drive line first or the tranny. Many of you guys preload without even thinking about it, just a natural thing.
PS. 15,000 miles on Muzzy turbo stage1,nothing new to report, no oil consumption, 40 mpg if very careful, not off the lying computer, original clutch, 25,100 miles total. About 37 minutes WOT time. Engine sounds like new, checked valves at 23,000, no adj necessary, everything nominal.

ok so did davej just imply i dont know how to ride???

pretty sure you cant high rpm and dump the clutch when running a shinko slick (or any other decent tire) you would either flip the bike or shock the tire and blow it off. In either case you would never run a 1.41 60 or any 8 sec pass for that matter ( well unless its a slider clutch or multi stg lock up ) which you can tell from the pics its not.

If you dont drag your bike on a regular basis its not the same thing so 25000 miles doesn't mean much

you can bring that original clutch turbo to the track anytime

i don't see ANY ANSWER to my QUESTION ..
I JUST SEE UR BABBLING OR RAMBLING ON in your mind SET stuff
WHEN I can go to any given shop and watch them take that counter shaft sprocket off WITH A IMPACT ..
so BEING your bike put together so perfect you shouldn't need plugs in your lawnmower

Ok back on subject, I got a complete basket off an 08. The ring gear is different on 07 so the basket will not work(guess i mail mine in and go billet) , but the inner hub ,clutch and pressure plate seem to be the same. Does anyone know for sure if they are???



mine were toast so i hope i can use them so it wasnt a total waste of money!!!

Thanks bill , when you say both will work you mean i would have to have my 07 drive gear installed on the 08 basket right?
