Hi V-Star people;
Has anyone changed the Clutch springs on a V-Star 650?
I have a 1998 V-Star 650 Classic & have always done preventative efforts before they become required repairs. So I have read that the Clutch Springs & the Clutch lever are the weak points. I have made a jury rig fix for the Clutch lever which works, Unfortunately I have told too many people about the kits on eBay. <grin>
I've been trying to get one of those kits for a more polished solution. I have tried for weeks to find a 5" stainless steel compression spring! Darn it! The eBay kit is worth it just to get the spring.
Any how... back to the topic. I got a set of 20% stronger springs from eBay. I know I have to get a new side cover gasket & will be getting one.
Does any one who has done this have any tips or tricks to do this without doing a stupid thing. Stupid things always seem to cost a lot to remedy.
Thanks in advance;
JohnB
