Clutch balance marks ?

[Haytch]

Hello

I have the clutch apart on my 1100gs ...but am suspicious that it may have been assembled incorrectly (out of balance) in the past. Can anyone tell me what the manufacturers marks should look like on the flywheel, cover and pressure plates. I can see some white numbering on each of these, are they them ?????????????
will any 'moly' grease be okay to lube the contact spots??

cheers

Hi I was in the same position on the weekend I removed my clutch without marking it.

I noticed white paint marks on all three pieces, fly wheel inner and out pressure plate they were hard to spot. I also noticed 2 green marks on the inner and outer pressure plate. I decided to use the white marks which where just a line made with a white paint pen becuase all three parts had them. I then aligned them 120 degrees apart.

Because I did not mark the pieces I am paranoid of vibrations, the bike feels pretty good and does vibrate at higher revs 4-5k rpm but not excessively which could be the same as before. The bike goes to 140km/hr and sits there quick comfortably with some vibrations but I guess that's normal.

I used honda moly 60 for the splines and the moving contact parts with in the clutch assembly and the clutch is very smooth to dis-engage. Just don't over do it with the grease it can fling onto the clutch plate. I put the grease on the splines with the gearbox out and worked the clutch plate back and forth the wiped away any excess grease.
