Clutch upgrade

Donny said:

Hi all, sorry for highjacking your topic, but I had a very similar issue with squeaking noise coming from the clutch when accelerating, especially in a first and second gears. I took the clutch cover off and when I removed the lifter peace I noticed that the Needle bearing had been wearing into the Thrust washer. The Thrust washer was so badly worn that it was nearly reduced to half its original thickness. I will upload pictures tomorrow. My question is, as my my Rocket 3 is 2006 Classic and I want to upgrade to T1172023 lifter peace do I need to change my pressure plate as well or just buy new lifter peace and No18 Bearing, pressure plate? Also, do I need any other upgrades? By the way Ive Barnett's clutch and springs fitted about 5 years ago.

Good job finding and catching the prob before too late.

Yeah you'll need a the new pullrod/lifter piece, pressure plate, pressure plate bearing and the wavy washer.
Might as well get a new lifter arm while at it.





Only other thing whil in there is 50mm long spring tower bolts to replace the 5 stock ones.
Helps strengthen up the towers and avoid cracking at the back if the inner hub;
