Time to update some parts

[ozrider]

Before the op I set it up on the ATV lift so it was ready to go so while I have been recouping it was time to update some parts.

The clutch was taking up right at the end of the travel, and the cam chain had a slight rattle can noise happening.

I have been accumulating parts over a period of time, so it was time to,
Replace the clutch plates & springs with heavy duty MTC.
Replaced lifter and actuator shafts.
Replace clutch cable
Replace detent spring
Replace the cam chain, sprockets and tensioner blades.
Check and adjust valve clearances.
New spark plugs, oil, filter, coolant.


It was all pretty straight forward to do, lots of advise on the forum and also a couple of PM's were sent and only to willing to answer with there knowledge.

Found the spring assembled wrong on the actuator shaft which made the clutch very light, you can see the groove worn on the shaft in the picture.

Have to say the guys at Team Moto Springwood service were very helpful, swapped around valve shims and loaned the cam tool FOC

All back together and now ready for more trouble free riding

Good work Les and I can see from the wear on the liftershaft yours was starting to burn awau. Good choice to change it out. I think th ecable was a little overkill but hey better safe then doing it again. I cannot tell you how many extra parts I bought just in case!!!! I eliminated the return spring and opted for a external one which I bought from the local hardware store yes Ace is the place

Hope you enjoy your riding as we had snow fluuries today
