NakedViffer Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Remove sprocket cover, then chain, loosen big bolt holding on the front sprocket and it'll slip right off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spud786 Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Try not to remove the clutch slave unit from the sprocket cover, or plunger could fall out, then you will be unhappy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veefer800Canuck Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 no you do not have to remove the slave. If you do, hold the piston in, and immediately wrap it in a few rounds of black tape, or the piston will creep out of the bore and fall on the floor, because it is spring loaded. Ask me how I know. Get yourself a piece of cardboard and draw a rough sketch of the countershaft cover, and poke each bolt through the cardboard in the appropriate locations because they are unequal length and need to go back into the proper spot.

Guest Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 ... Get yourself a piece of cardboard and draw a rough sketch of the countershaft cover, and poke each bolt through the cardboard in the appropriate locations because they are unequal length and need to go back into the proper spot. A friend walked into my garage in the middle of a project, and marveled at the several carboard boxes used for exactly that purpose, and copious amounts of blue painter's tape marking different sections of my floor used to organize bits-n-pieces. (I have since moved up to fishing tackle type boxes for portability and storage.) Regarding the front sprocket though, I've found it useful (if really tight) to loosen the nut before removing anything else. I'll sit on the bike (on the center stand) and stand on the rear brake while going to town on the breaker bar. I've also left bikes on side stands, and braced the front against something sturdy, like my car, while pulling on the bar. All else fails, find a friend with an impact gun, and don't leave the tranny in gear. Not sure it will hurt it, but I've never wanted to take the chance.

Member Contributer gmtech94 Posted March 20, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted March 20, 2013 I also use some styrofoam and a marker to organize bolts makes a lot of time for me doing repairs on the job and in my own garage .Just put bolts in the correct pattern on the styrofoam and it is realy simple to push into place .

Member Contributer MaxSwell Posted March 20, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted March 20, 2013 Thanks for the parts organization suggestions. I love the cardboard and styrofoam suggestions. I use empty egg cartons but will add the others to my techniques. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 The cardboard is only necessary when you have the annoyance of different sized bolts for the same component. Like the clutch cover on my Kawasaki. I swear that thing had 4 different lengths around the outside of the cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audigier Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 Hello again, we'll I am ready to perform surgery on my bike. The clutch slave seems to be bolted into the sprocket cover. Is it independently bolted to it or those bolts also hold the cover in place? I'm trying to understand how it is assembled to prevent headaches. I'm going to change the oil and filter, I have a socket that fits on the filter do I need to remove the left fairing anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer 2thdr Posted March 23, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted March 23, 2013 Do a search on the procedure for changing the front sprocket ...you don't want to piston coming all the way out. As far as the oil change you can do it without removing the left plastic. I remove it because it is easier for me. Do yourself a favor and crack the filter loose while the bike is cold and you can even leave the filter socket type wrench on while you warm it up...extension helps get past header pipes.

spud786 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I remove the left fairing, other wise you have to stress the plastic (not good), its just easier with fairing off and you can clean up better. JUst dont put any pressure on fairing bolts going back in, very gentle. I only change filter about every 5 oil changes, that makes it less time consuming. yes theres like one or 2 bolts you dont have to remove related to the slave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audigier Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 so. as long as the clutch slave remains attached to the sprocket cover as i take the cover off, i will be ok?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer MaxSwell Posted March 24, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted March 24, 2013 so. as long as the clutch slave remains attached to the sprocket cover as i take the cover off, i will be ok?? Yes. The cover can come off with the clutch slave still attached. There are no through bolts from the slave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer jimbob Posted May 2, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted May 2, 2015 how many bolts are in place to secure the coutershaft cover, I think i see two.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Cogswell Posted May 2, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted May 2, 2015 I just replaced my chain and spockets this week. There are 4 that hold the cover to the case. One top and bottom and 2 through the slave cylinder. The 3rd bolt on the slave cylinder is shorter and only threads in to the cover itself.
