Dismantling
1. Fit the screw with the large washer
against the bearing.
2. Fit the sleeve and cover in position.
Fit a washer and nut.
3. It is a good idea to secure the allen key
in a vice. Press out the clutch bearing by
turning it clockwise in the sleeve.
Assembly
1. Secure the bearing support plate in a
vice and put both ball bearings on.
2. Put the clutch drum on. Put the cover
on and fit washers and the screw.
3. Press the bearing in by tightening the
screw until the bearing reaches the stop
in the clutch drum.
4. When refitting, first fit the washer on
the crankshaft.
Note that the ball bearing-mounted
clutch must also have a washer between
the clutch drum and clutch.
Tools
The tool kit 504 56 79-01 is needed to replace the ball bearing of the clutch
drum. Use the tool to dismantle and fit the bearing as described below.
The tool kit consists of a support plate for the bearing (A), the sleeve (B)
and the cover (C). Note that the cover has different profiles, one side to
match the sleeve on dismantling and the other to match the clutch drum on
fitting. The kit also contains the screw (D) with washers and nut.
Grease the threads of the screw and the washers.
Bearing replacement – ball bearing
A clutch drum with permanently lubricated ball bearing is being introduced
on the K750 in 2007.
The drilled channel in the crankshaft that provided the earlier needle bearing
design with lubrication is being discontinued.
