As a follow up to this since I am finally home long enough from work trips to ride it, a new clutch(whole discs instead of the half), new diaphragm spring(stacked on old one for DD mod), and new gasket solved my issue. Butter shifting now. Able to move the bike cold with the clutch pulled in...

Yes, 1 piece OEM spring and pressure plate. Was planning on replacing clutch, pulled everything out before ordering another diapragm spring for DD and 8 friction/8 plates and found these grooves. See pic. The larger piece has grooves I can feel, the smaller rotating basket I can see but barely...

Not sure yet. I swapped out the cobra slip on exhaust for a stock one, but found the rear exhaust gaskets were worn, so the pipes moved inside the clamp. Waiting on parts.... Was going to rebuild the clutch master and slave before I found the clutch issue when I was swapping the gasket.

Yes. I got a bulk order of the Maxima dino oil, no synthetic. I tried that and also Castrol 4t in this bike to see if it's a difference. Before I swapped the spring plate, where the pick was pointing there was a gap when the clutch was pulled. Discs would stay in the same spot, but a gap...

So as an update. The clutch was sticking and appeared to be binding. I pulled the clutch cover off and saw there was a gap between the plates and the end plate when the clutch was pulled. Discs stayed where they were. The end plate was not moving out straight either, it was like one side had...

Thank you

Good afternoon, thank you for your reply. I have another question now. There is minimal drag moving the bike forwards and backwards in neutral. There is more drag, but not significant, if it's in 1st with clutch pulled in. I can hear the trans where I could not in neutral. Clutch pulled all...

I bought a new to me 2002 Vmax with 27k miles. It seems downshifting is more difficult than upshifting, it takes a little force and a second to get it to go down and shift. But if I blip the throttle to rev match, it goes right in every time. I am unsure if this is a characteristic of the...
