K100 clutch change

[Steve-C]

Evening,

 

My 91 K100LT is starting to need a clutch, which isn't bad after 92,000 miles. Its done at least 55,000 on its current one.

 

Problem is I don't have a clue where to start with the change, and is it something within the realms of a home mechanic? I do my own oil and filter changes, have swapped discs and can swap out an engine as a complete unit, but never done anything like delving into the inner workings.

 

Any step by step guides out there (preferably with photo's). Or just any tips in general?

 

TIA

 

Steve

It's not a whole lot more work than doing a 3 spline lube job. You just need some way to support the back of the bike while you have the diff & the tranny out. A cherry picker works good or some folks just build a simple A frame saw horse out of 2" X 4"s.

 

Nothing too technical, just keep track of the nuts & bolts as you remove them. Clymer makes a manual for the older K's, you should be able to find it without too much trouble..

 

Have fun!
