Top job mate. Exactly which bits did you renew?

Because i couldn't see any obvious fault - no oil etc - I decided to play it safe and change the lot. There was some blueing to the pressure plate so i doubt whether a new friction plate would have cured it.

Parts were-

Pressure plate
Cover plate
Friction plate
6 new pressure plate bolts
Felt seal for the clutch pushrod

Came to the best part of 300 notes.

I did consider changing the g/box input and engine crankshaft seal, but figured i'd already spent enough.
 
my opinion, for what it's worth

corroded wiring......alternator gone............now the clutch:blast

Nope, just one who actually rides his bike. Expect you have a matching twat suit and enduro helmet. probably even went to the trouble of importing sand to give your 'credit to you' bike the authentic look.;)

Harsh but fair :pullface

Out of interest how many miles has the bike done?

20K harsh, neglectfull miles when the clutch went (22k now) which have included - riding it every day (that it wasn't broke) through the winter, the Ryedale Rally (about 6 off's before i was too knackered to continue), more than a handfull of days off roading on the moors (more off's, most spectacularily in a ford in january brrrr!), four or so border raids into Scotland, and the usual tomfoolery. I've even sprayed it with ACF two or three times this winter - though i obviously neglected to take the tank off and coat the alternator. I also didn't clean any electrical connectors:blast

Still the condition's only important if your selling, oddly i'm not:thumb
 
It's used the same as my bike (now on 35k) and my clutch is original (though had a problem with the lever and reservoir level in the past).

Funnily enough,I'm not selling mine anytime soon either.;)
