Bollocks - Transmission failure.

Right now - any other bike does. Well OK - not ANY.
I love my old Guzzi - but she's just that - old. May need to look about for a city-hack to borrow. Even :eek: a scooter.
Dont forget that if you're going to ride a scooter it must have a screen and be pink in colour. This need was demonstrated very efficiently by one of our Seniors. Not sure if it is necessary to wear a skirt though, you'd need to ask!
 
OKEY DOKEY- As I need to persuade Triumph Spain to sell me parts (the local dealer won't - yet!) - or will need to order elsewhere.

A plea to the R3 cognoscenti (esp the clutch master @warp9.9 ) to check my parts list - PLEASE.

VIN SMTTLC10359381271 - Supposedly a 2009 model - but from the ECU date of August 2008 it might be an early one.
Engine number 3372883

So as I see this

1) Remove radiator - No service parts. But I will fit SAMCO's - if SAMCO deem to reply.
2) Remove Water Pump - Service part - O-Ring O RING WATER PUMP SL 3600160T03 Replaces 3600160-T0301 - but I'll get a Seal, Water Pump Cover T3600161 too. O Ring T3600910
3) Remove front cover - Service part - Gasket, Clutch Cover T1260107.
4) Remove Clutch - Service part - WASHER ID 22 OD34 T1171282 Replaces T1170282 and WASHER "C" CLUTCH T1179999 Replaces 1170091-T0301 and NUT CLUTCH 22MM T1170106 Replaces T1170101

5) Detent Spring T1190086 (I will get a spare to have dimensioned locally) and just in case Spring, Gearchange Return T1190016, and E Circlip T3500044

6) Lifter Just in Case. Scott @warp9.9 help. (T1172023) Lifter Shaft, Clutch T1170041

If anybody sees anything I have forgotten - please say.

Now a mini dilema. Special tool - Locking plate 3880025-T0301. Necessary?. If so Fowlers are saying it's not available. WoT list a tool - much cheaper too. Any other alternative?.

I am on the fence re friction plates and springs. I have no slipping, and I am reluctant to up the clutch pull really. BUT I never, ever, disregard advice.

Anybody know if MTC are available from a European (incl UK) dealer? - EBC plates any good? Stick with OEM?

My clutch was not slipping. But would have needed replacing in very near future saves opening her up again and loosing riding time. Also like Mr hunt says clutch tool sorted. Have seen clutch tool on ebay by ebc.I could not find uk dealer for mtc so went with barnett waiting to see how that turns out this weekend hopefully. You might have more luck in europe. warp9.9 give me this part number for lifter [T1172023] which is upgrade hope it all goes well:thumbsup:
 
With baited breath one waits. It is a big price premium, but...................

But worth it in the end sir.Please sir no waiting with baited breath as one would feel responsibility for the out come owing to the fact i am a complete novice at this and is taking one step at a time:thumbsdown:

Ok just noticing this and starting to read but part number T1260203 is just a rubber pad for absorbing shock its what fits under the chrome plate on the clutch cover, which you will not need to take it off the cover. So not needed. Oh and part number for lifter piece is correct. Really you should open her up as your steal might be fine as well as the fibers. But if you plan on refreshing the clutch then fibers and steels, cover gasketand, the new style lifter piece. Also your removing the clutch basket get a nut. This is a good time to verify which detent wheel you engine actually has. Since you won't or can't open her first lifter shaft is not to pricey. I have never had to replace the O-rings on the water pump. Mr. Hunt clued you in on making a clutch tool. Coming apart you won't need it if you have air and a impact wrench. To be honest I use the impact wrench to run it back up.

Now another push for opening her up first. Reason being what if your 08 is like the clutch video going around? You get all the parts and find out you have a 05 clutch like the 08 classic in the video. You stuck returning pieces and ordering different ones. And in 3 hours of wrenching you know what you have and need. In reality you could only need the spring, a new cover gasket, and the basket nut. After all its acting up I know you not riding it anyway!!!! RIGHT!!!!
