Walneck's Classic Cycle Trader - July 2008 - (Page 23) MONTHLY FEATURES can be tightened to the specs called for your assembly. For the Triumph shown this was 30 ft. lbs. for the rotor nut and 50 ft. lbs. for the clutch hub nut. With everything nice and tight we can check our clutch wobble now. As expected, the new installed new clutch plates, heavy duty springs, and the clutch rod and cover. Heavy duty springs will increase the clutch pull somewhat, but it isnʼt excessive and will easily stand up to whatever power the engine can give it. To finish up we need to adjust the primary chain to allow for 1/8 in. free play and also check the air clearance between the rotor and stator. This clearance can be checked by moving a dollar bill around the circumference of the rotor. If an obstruction is found, itʼs most likely the stator TIP OF THE MONTH is on crooked. Often this is caused by one of the stator studs being partially unscrewed from the case. Correct the problem and then recheck the clearance. Finally, adjust the clutch cover screw so that it just barely makes contact with the clutch rod and locking the screw. Check the lift of the clutch cover now with feeler gauges to see that it lifts evenly around the clutch. Adjust the clutch spring nuts to change the lift and recheck with the feeler gauges. All thatʼs left now is to reinstall the primary case cover with its new gasket and refill the primary case. Rebuilding your primary drive is a lot of work, but many miles of trouble free service will be the reward. parts took out the excessive movement. We then then back to allow for 1/16 in clearance before Feeler gauge is used to check for even clutch cover lift. WALNECKS.COM I WALNECK’S CLASSIC CYCLE TRADER® I JULY 2008 23 http://WALNECKS.COM
