For my 05 450 I'm looking at replacing my Clutch fiber plates along with the Steel pates and new springs as a whole, As my present clutch has always bee grabby from the day I brought it. I figure the previous guy gave the cluch a hard time and either the Disc's are worn or their warped. I'll look at the basket for burrs while I'm in there also.
Now. Its recommended that the Springs bolts are Torqued down to 8Nm.
For my to do this alone, I'll need to purchase a new 1/4" Torque wrench for the job.... For what I can see, Its the only time I'll need to use such a low Torque setting. So I'm thinking I'll wheel the bike onto a trailer and have a shop do it, Or borrow the Wrench while I do it in the corner.
But do you guys follow this rule by the book? (8Nm) I'd rather purchase a larger Wrench which will be used on multiple jobs. This little fellow will be used almost never if purchased.
I understand the importance of equal force applied across the Plates..
But do you follow it religiously?
