Re: Serious clutch problems, need some help.
The other thread was about a list of other problems. Now that one particular problem is occupying all my attention, I thought it would be best to dedicate a thread only to that.

Serious clutch problems, need some help.

Re: Troubles with my GZ's engine, please assist.
After all that work, it's still making that same noise. Took it for about a 3-4 mile test ride below 40 mph through my neighborhood. I think I'm going to take her out on the road and see what happens.

Re: Troubles with my GZ's engine, please assist.
Just waited for one of my roommates to get back. Had him stand on the brake so I could just stand next to the bike and get a good grip on the ratchet.
Now I hope the parts I ordered for the clutch...

Re: Troubles with my GZ's engine, please assist.
You guys told me the torque spec for the front sprocket nut is 40 ft/lbs but the service manual says 65. Now the service manual I downloaded from this site is old and isn't for my '08, so it may be...

Re: Troubles with my GZ's engine, please assist.
Yes I'm turning to the left. I'm a certified mechanic so I know what I'm doing, I just don't have the experience of working in a shop yet. Still finishing up school, so I don't know all the little...

Re: Troubles with my GZ's engine, please assist.
And now the front sprocket bolt will NOT come off. Yes, I got the lockwasher bent back in place flat. Yes, I'm locking the rear brake. Yes, I tapped it with a hammer to shock it loose. Nothing....

Re: Troubles with my GZ's engine, please assist.
Figured out what happened with the clutch. The last friction plate (the one closest to the inside of the engine) rubbed. It's burred and almost polished. I'm not entirely sure how this would happen....

Re: Troubles with my GZ's engine, please assist.
Yeah I'm certain. Honestly I'm not worried about any of those things. What I'm worried about is the cluth - or what I thought would be the clutch. I pulled off the side cover and couldn't see...

Re: Troubles with my GZ's engine, please assist.
It has been like that since I have bought it, the forks are straight, I'm still riding in a a perfectly straight line (even when I let go of the handlebars entirely). While I'm sitting on the bike,...

Re: Troubles with my GZ's engine, please assist.
To answer water warrior, no damage to the shifter, no damage to the handlebars.
To address the balancing issues, my alignment is fine, and it has felt imbalanced since the day I got it.
