Re: Clutch Spline Failure/Rebuild, Bolts Broken in Shaft Drive

Impressive perseverance. I think you've redeemed yourself. But I won't ask about the missing footpeg bolts. :-k The bike has been spread across my garage for sixteen months, I'm pretty happy to only have lost two. It's the extra bolts that concern me more :lol: . I think they all came from the remo...

Re: Clutch Spline Failure/Rebuild, Bolts Broken in Shaft Drive

So starting out with such a dumb mistake really spooked me, thinking about all the things I could screw up on my way to getting the clutch in. However, after a year and a half I finally got it done and running today, after changing the clutch, putting in a new (used) transmission, and removing the A...

Re: New clutch doesn't engage

Ok I bled it again--this time I tied the valve to the frame so it was vertical, because I think I may have been letting air back into the line. I finished as you guys said, with the lever to the bar, closing the valve with my other hand (I'm tall). It worked--the clutch worked much better than the f...

Re: New clutch doesn't engage

I'll be happy to find out I did it wrong, because that will give me something to fix! I did not pin the lever to the bar before closing the valve. I did it with a MityVac from the lower end. I did not pump the lever at all the first time. I did the second time, but it barely moved any fluid through....

New clutch doesn't engage

I just finished putting my 2002 r1150r back together after replacing the clutch, clutch slave cylinder and transmission, and removing the ABS. Almost everything seems to have gone just fine despite my very inauspicious beginning . It took a long time, much of which was just months of not working on ...

Re: Orphaned electrical connection, what does this connect to?

I'm going to cross my fingers and hope you're right--mine doesn't have an aux outlet, but it makes sense that they would wire for it. Thank you!

Orphaned electrical connection, what does this connect to?

I am putting my 2002 R1150R back together after replacing the clutch and transmission. Everything has gone pretty smoothly until today, when I wound up with a female connector near the starter motor, and I can't find any corresponding male connector. From the manual it looks like this may be designa...

Re: Clutch Spline Failure/Rebuild, Bolts Broken in Shaft Dri

OK, I'm not saying this isn't embarrassing, but here is clarification so you can know what you're laughing at. I had so much trouble removing the wheel bolt that I went and got a breaker bar. The bolt was very hard to turn, but I did it, and it broke. I thought, "Huh--that was in so tight it br...

Re: Clutch Spline Failure/Rebuild, Bolts Broken in Shaft Dri

Hey, if you haven't put it back together yet I would recommend that you closely inspect the lug holes in the wheel for cracks! You put allot more than the 80 or so ftlbs of torque on the bolts, in fact maybe as high as double or triple the torque specified. ( If you have put it back together, if it...

Re: Clutch Spline Failure/Rebuild, Bolts Broken in Shaft Dri

Thanks guys! The fact is, if I had figured it out before I had posted, I probably would not have confessed it here. I broke the bolts, then posted, then thought about what I had done.

Re: Clutch Spline Failure/Rebuild, Bolts Broken in Shaft Dri

I guess what I learned is that I can make the most elementary mistake possible and have to pay closer attention.

Re: Clutch Spline Failure/Rebuild, Bolts Broken in Shaft Dri

I'm sorry my first post here so baldly exposes my ignorance, I turned the bolts the wrong way until they broke. I sat there after I wrote the post thinking through the process and realized I'd been pushing down on the breaker bar. I got them out with a drill and a screw extractor.

Clutch Spline Failure/Rebuild, Bolts Broken in Shaft Drive

I have a new-to-me 2002 R1150R. I had ridden only about 400 miles on it over a couple of weeks before the transmission completely failed on the road. There is no drive, and I can't shift in to any gear. There is noise in the gearbox without the clutch pulled in, and it increases/changes when I pull ...
