    Always fix the main stand against the front tire with a strap. Many GSs felt off lift when people worked on gear boxes etc.

    Good work! Having done this on mine, definitely look at the slave cylinder while doing this job as they often leak and could contaminate the new clutch. Also the release bearing is the size of a polo mint and will be shot if original. As you left it in when dropping the box double check the pushrod is not bent before reinstalling. You can get a clutch plate from motorworks with an oversized centre with a bit more meat on it to rule out the gearbox splines stripping out in the future if you want. Good luck!

    • @SidekickSolo
      @SidekickSolo  Рік тому

      Thanks, I have not seen a release bearing. I will look in to that.

    • @markcheckley5894
      @markcheckley5894 Рік тому

      It’s located within the slave cylinder where the pushrod enters. It allows the pushrod to spin with the engine when you engage the clutch. When it fails it gets noisy, the seal fails and allows hydraulic fluid to run along the pushrod to the clutch. Never idle in gear at traffic lights for long on these bikes. Shift to neutral asap to extend its life

    Also check the slave cylinder if your not replacing it, when they leak the fluid goes down the shaft that the clutch rod goes through and then ends up in the bell housing.

      Not sure of the make to be honest it was a second hand one off market place. I think the gs it the limit of what it will take.

    Bloody hell, it’s a major breakdown getting that clutch out, not something you can achieve at the side of the road
    I find you need another garage to keep all the parts while you’re doing jobs like this 😂
