    Clutch not engaging.

    That was the problem. The teeth weren't. properly mated. I fit it together once and it was right as I pulled it off to see the oil from the clutch plates on the pressure plate, and then the second time I didn't get it mated up. Easy fix, but it kept me awake last night thinking that I somehow...

    Clutch not engaging.

    I just replaced the clutch basket on my 2012 and I upgraded the pressure plate to a Barnett Pressure plate. I put it back together and I didn't have any leftover parts ;), but when I went to start it the clutch lever bottomed out and there was zero resistance. I tried pumping the clutch a few...

    Clutch basket upgrade parts?

    Is there any work savings by replacing the clutch basket and the CCT at the same time? Or should I just go ahead and order the clutch parts and take care of it one weekend and save the CT for the winter?

    Cam Chain Tensioner replacement ?

    Since the weather now feels like winter with upper elevation snow and the snow levels dropping soon, I plan on doing some maintenance since I won't be riding. I haven't done a lot of research into this, but since there has been some mentions of the clutch, what clutch kit would you recommend I...

    Cam Chain Tensioner replacement ?

    The bike is a 2012 with just over 40,000 miles. I bought it from a retired aircraft mechanic who did all the maintenance (including the valve clearance) except the CTT. I don't have enough experience with the bike to know how it should sound, it doesn't sound bad, but it does sometimes sound a...
