Thank you for pointing out the stop plate, I'm not sure how on earth I missed that on the fiche. I was able to add that to my existing OEM parts order.
That's a nice clamp, thank you for sharing. I'll find out how long the OEM clamp lasts from new.

Thanks for the information!tony.mon wrote: ↑Thu Aug 08, 2019 8:33 am The writing on the crankcase is a quality control sign-off mark.
They all have one somewhere.
Different inspectors mark them in different places.
Changing the clutch res is unusual, mostly I've just cleaned them up and put a stretchy towelling sleeve on to hide it.
HRC make a sleeve, apparently......
It's an absolute hoot, thanks! I have some videos posted on my YouTube. Same username as here on the forum. Here's a thread about the bike too.fabiostar wrote:that xr three wheeler must be a mad thing to ride
I'm not saying you're wrong, but I'm going to investigate nonetheless. If that's just how it's made, it's getting modified. :-)8541Hawk wrote:Again...that's how they work.
People have been trying for 22 yrs now so you should be able to search all the different things that have been tried....though none have worked.Fabiodriven wrote: ↑Sat Aug 10, 2019 11:43 pmI'm not saying you're wrong, but I'm going to investigate nonetheless.

Sounds good and I thank you very much. I'm wondering if the manual provides a minimum thickness for the plates as well.tony.mon wrote:Worth pulling the clutch cover off to check that the outermost plate tongues are in the spring plate holes.
The last friction plate should always lock into the spring plate.
The other option is the po has stuck in an extra metal plate to compensate for wear in the friction plates.
Or the metal spacer plate behind the clutch cover is missing... It's sort of c shaped and spaces the clutch cover out from the crankcase surfaces. Maybe check that first, as its easiest.
As these are auto adjusting, there's no other reasons I can think of.
Actually just trying to save you a little time and cash but its all good.
