clutch

So I did a master cylinder rebuild and now its leaking by the leaver! I checked my service manual and it looks like I put it back the same. Any suggestions on how to get it to stop leaking? Thanks Tom

Anybody in the Phoenix AZ area good with the hydraulic clutch on the vmax? I’ve done every possible thing I can imagine to this damn clutch and it still will not bleed fluid out. I’m done messing with it. I’ve spent too much money and time on it so I need an expert to figure it out. I originally...

Can someone please tell me what the torque spec is, for the bolt that holds the flywheel to the crankshaft? Also torque for the 3 starter clutch bolts to the flywheel? Thanks, Brad Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anyone used the Barnett Kevlar or Carbon Clutch Plates? Getting Ready to do the ,(add a spring) Clutch Mod. Thinking about ordering the Carbon, Carbon works awesome for Airplane brakes, no experience with it on clutches? Sent from my Z983 using Tapatalk

backstory, a few weeks ago i though i noticed some "hiccupping" on hard acceleration in at least 2nd and 3rd gear....after reading through the forums I figured it was clutch slippage and decided to change the oil and do the double D modification.... had another clutch spring and added it to...

Hello all, this is one of my first posts and i'm hoping to get some much needed help. So I have a recently new to me 1998 vmax 1200 with 17000 miles on it. Soon after I bought it i noticed the clutch was slipping slightly when i gave it more than half throttle. So i rode it as it was for a day...

Well I’m getting that starting noise that signifies the starter clutch is on its way out... Anyone have positive experiences with a cheaper option than OEM? Also, how do these typically fail? Will the bike just not start one day? Or is this doing damage? Thanks, Connor

ive recently bought a vmax project and ive just started doing bits to it... I bought a master cylinder repair kit for both front brake and clutch... the clutch kit came with an extra little spring and washer that was not there when I dismantled the old cylinder... ive seen on a drawing that it...

I purchaced a used engine off a wrecked Max a while ago, it had the UFO clear clutch cover and Barnett clutch assy, I will not be using these parts and am offering up everything for $200 + whatever shipping will be from West Mi, you are welcome to pick up in person if desired, cover is clean and...

Problem: When more than 1/3 throttle is applied, it revs up accompanied with a ratcheting gear noise, in multiple gears. Previously posted in clutch section and realized it's not clutch after removal and re-installation. Suspect bent shift forks, shift drum damage or gear dogs worn. I'm posting...

I have remove the rotor/starter clutch assembly. I noticed what looked to be little chunks of epoxy. Not a lot just a couple tiny pieces. Closer inspection I noticed the rotor is where it was coming from. The cover on the edge was slightly damaged previously. I have a rotor/starter clutch...

Clutch is shot on my 85 max. I need to order another clutch and I understand I should do the extra spring also. Can someone save me some time and share with me which kit works well in the max and what I need (stock spring only?) to do the DD mod and what pressure plate it works with. I want to...

I've installed the Barnett clutch on my 06 Vmax a few years ago and can't for the life of me recall if the washers provided with the six springs fit easily down the tubs of the purple clutch pressure plate. I'm installing the same kit onto my 2013 Royal Star Venture and the washers seem to not...

Bought a vmax engine today, or atleast I thought lol. Casting on the front says it's the 1198 (vmax) and the seal number in the rear starts with 1FK which was the 85 vmax only... but I popped the clutch cover and found this??? It looks like a venture clutch basket? What on earth do I do with...

I've been addressing my clutch issues since I've got the bike. It would die while in gear with clutch lever pulled. It looked as though the fluid had never been changed. I rebuilt master and slave cylinders. I also replaced stock clutch line with SS . New long pushrod and new bearing. The...

So about a little over a month ago I went to start up the 89 and got the box of marbles sound while cranking it over. She fired up and at idle had a small crunch or two as well. Killed it and figured the starter clutch may be bad. The bike has pretty low miles <28k but the starter switch stuck...

Anybody have any experience working on one of these? A friends of mine just bought one that had a bad stator, regulator and rotor. Somebody had already worked on it previously and I'm pretty sure that they swapped the two washers in the attached drawing. #3 and #9 are different thickness and OD...
