Clutch - needle roller bearing - free play?
Posted: Tue Jun 26, 2012 11:20 pm
Hi all,
I've had my L3's clutch apart to check for wear on the plates (they were OK) and having put it back together notice there is a bit of up and down play if I grab the clutch basket and pull upwards - it's maybe a couple of mm. No obvious signs of the needle roller bearing having collapsed - it doesn't feel rough and there aren't any odd noises coming from it.
Does anyone know if this is normal please - or if I need to take the basket off to check the needle roller bearing for wear?
Grateful for any advice please.
