1100 cheepskate clutch job

Depends on how long the clutch has been slipping and how hot the metal surface/faces on the cover and pressure plate have got.
My experience is usually fine for a couple of thousand miles or so and then slips again.

Why not give it a go? You obviously don't put a lot of value on your time.
Personally I wouldn't waste my time.

Working 6 days a week my spare time is precious to me.but without the likes of myself,mr steptoe and the like who have carried out such cost cutting time wasting experiments and passed on their experiences the world would be a boring fooking place with no one having feckall to talk about

Clutch
You work 6 days a week
Before you start the job I take it you will have already purchased the parts
Buy a new complete clutch
Fit it forget it
Otherwise if it goes tits up
You will spend your next day off doing it all again
Time wasted labour free and lots of swearing

get on with it make sure ya missies makes you a cuppa tea and bacon sarnies
given that I the wife the sister and two brothers in law all have 1100's and none of them spanner worth a damn I have done a few changes, did what your proposing on my bike as was very short of cash and at the time not short on time, wouldn bother again. I knew it wouldnt last long but needed a clutch quick and didnt have the money for the full kit, an was right lasted about 2500-3000 miles but got me out of the jam.
I can just about do the whole job in and out in about 4 1/2 - 5 hours, but wouldnt waste that time again. Get all the parts and do it once unless as people have alaready said, you have more time than money in which case crack on.
If your interested then the Lucas Sintered clutch plate works very very well, and I am told the oil resistant one is good two, both about 100-120, and to my mind worth spending the money on over the standard clutch plate.
And as already said BEFORE you start make sure you have all the bit, the right replacement bolts, spline lube, a clutch alignment tool (even if you make one out of dowling and masking tape, which I did first time), read the how to off the site here, as it is damn good and by far better than any haynes manual.

I can tell you that I dont bother. I used to use a trolly jack but I also have a bike lift thing for harleys and it works great, lift it up under the whole gearbox and swing arm, unbolt it and wheel back.
Cheers bowser much appreciated.
