Anyone ever changed the clutch plates on an FJR?

1. Only way to know for sure is a visual inspection to see if they are discolored or scored/scarred. My guess is probably not.2. Uh, yeah!

X. Good engineering. The outer and inner friction plates take a very different abuse and conditions than the inner ones. On clutches that do NOT use different inner/outer fibers, you usually wind up replacing perfectly good inner plates just to repair the inner/outer two.

3. Somebody else will answer that one.

Thanks for all your help Jeff - I appreciate your input. As to my question #3, I believe the clutch cover will go on without a problem. The pushrod on the FJR's hydraulic clutch does not require any kind of alignment with respect to the cover since it comes in from the side opposite the cover.

#3. I assume you are referring to the pressure plate. Yes, there are four sets of teeth to align on the protrusion from the clutch basket. Pretty easy to line up...just take your time. It's not rocket science.

Actually I was referring to the clutch cover. My FZ1 was a cable clutch and as such the actuator was attached to the clutch cover and had to be aligned to put it back on. I looked at the parts diagram online for the FJR and found there shouldn't be any issue with the clutch cover on the FJR.

Thanks again MNFJR05.

No such luck here. Actuator rod actually comes through engine from the other side. Cover has two dowels to line it up. My only bit of advice is to be careful when removing the pressure plate. There is a small ball that may come out with it. Don't lose it and make sure you put it back in when reassembling. It goes between the actuator rod and pressure plate. Not show stopper, just be careful and mindful during disassembly.
