me mate chris has a '05 FE450 that he races. he had the waterpump seal go at the last meeting as well that and the previous meeting he was having clutch trouble. i hope i've got this right?
well anyway, he has put new plates in and sorted the WP and oil issue etc. but alas on starting it he can ride in neutral around the village!
he stripped the clutch down and pulled the drum out. even in neutral he reckons he can barely hold the input shaft still?
he hasn't removed the basket yet which i've now asked him to do while i'm here but he's running out of ideas.
he says he has washer, needle roller, needle roller, washer/split washer, drum, tab washer, nut??????? he has no whining noises etc
if he pulls the clutch drum out he can hold the shaft 'nearly' still but when the drum is in and spun up he can't hold the drum still wiv his hand while turning the rear wheel. if any of this sounds like a contradiction then fine! you take the call during the F1 GP next time ok!
i can't ever recall a problem like this before can anyone else?
