Hi everyone... After being parked up for a year and a half due to a slipping clutch and some health issues, it's time to resurrect my K1100LT... I bought the bike about 3 yrs ago and found it had a slipping clutch. i fixed the leaking rear main that had contaminated the clutch, but cheapskated on the clutch by cleaning and reusing it (seemed like a good idea at the time)... I did 12000km on it but always felt like it was slipping under hard acceleration.
So my big question is, how hard will it be to leave the swingarm attached to the gearbox for removal and reinstall (will remove final drive for lube), and what is the best clutch to buy?... I'm going to check valve clearance while she's in pieces so I'm sure there will be more questions as I go.
Thanks Paul
