Report on "I" basket change 07RSMV

[CMIKE]

Got my "I" basket installed took the "F" basket out.

All looked good inside except for a few things I found.

1. the locking tab was not bent against the nut that holds the clutch hub. ???? But the nut was tight

2. the friction plates were lined up but not inline with the 3 dot as described in the manual and the tech article here. They were lined up where there is one dot.

All the friction plates were measured with a caliper and little or no wear was found. no glazing found. Rotating plates all had perforations in them...I am used to seeing smooth rotating plates. No heat discolor and no warping. All of them were not polished smooth. No wear on the old basket or the clutch hub.

Ran to today about 270 miles. I am pleased. No clutch churp...the bike does not sound like a Jenson mobile anymore. It does not seem that it moved it to another RPM, or I have not found that RPM yet. There is still gear noise...from mostly the left side but not that high pitch churp It is not quite machine, I do not expect it will ever be. I am glad I changed the basket. It is a lot better.

Don't expect the "I" basket to totally get rid of all machine noise cause I don't think it will. On some bikes it will help.

Glad to hear it worked out for you!!

 

Did you go from the "H" basket to the "I" basket? or what did you start with?

It's an age thing. You oldsters should get your eyes checked regularly.
