Install the clutch pressure plate onto the clutch hub and
sprocket assembly.
Note: If the clutch friction and steel discs have been
removed, refer to the CLUTCH SERVICE section for
installation procedures.
Figure 364 — Installing pressure plate and discs
Loosen the clutch adjuster jam nut and back out the
adjuster.
Apply blue threadlock to the threads of the six clutch
pressure plate retaining screws. Install the retaining
screws and springs and alternately tighten to
specification, using a 10 mm hex socket.
Figure 365 — Installing pressure plate screws and
springs
Refer to the CLUTCH SERVICE section for clutch
adjustment procedures.
Thoroughly clean the threads of the compensator
retaining nut with carburetor/brake cleaner and blow
out any remaining debris with compressed air.
Apply red threadlock to the first four threads of the
compensator retaining nut in two places, 180 degrees
apart.
Correct application of threadlock to the
compensator retaining nut must be achieved.
Applying excessive threadlock can cause an
incorrect torque reading and cause severe binding
of the nut on the sprocket shaft. Inadequate
application of threadlock will gradually loosen the
nut causing wear and damage in the housing and
can lead to component failure.
Install the compensator assembly with retaining nut and
machined spacer onto the splined crankshaft extension.
Lightly lubricate the components before installation.
Thread the nut onto the end of the crankshaft and
tighten to specification, using a 1-1/2" hex socket.
Use a sprocket/clutch locking tool, placed between the
sprockets, to prevent the sprockets from turning while
tightening to 200 foot-pounds torque.
Figure 366 — Installing compensator assembly
Insert the two lower adjuster assembly bolts into the
lock tab (lock tabs facing up) and then install the flat
washers.
Slide the chain tensioner plate and the chain adjustment
shoe over the two bolts.
Note: The thinner portion of the chain adjustment
shoe must face toward the front of the motorcycle (closest
to engine compensator sprocket) when installed.
Note: The flat washers should be between the chain
tensioner plate and the lock tab. The lock tab should be
against the bolt heads.
Slide the chain tensioner behind the primary chain and
onto the carriage bolt.
Place the chain adjustment shoe with two bolts and
chain tensioner plate under the chain and then, slide the
assembly over the carriage bolt.
