OK Today i had to replace the clutch fork as the pivot ball had pushed through the fork. What a pain in the a..e. After a couple of hours trying to get the broken fork out I had resigned myself to taking the gearbox out. Anyway gave it one more try and with a lot of force it came out. Looking at the old fork, the square follower pads were stuck solid on the fork.
Could not get the new fork in, so called a mechanic friend. He tried and tried to no avail. We decided to grind off a small corner off each square follower to assist it in locating in the grove. A quarter of a hour later it all went together Yipee.
The clutch now is so much easier to push and smoother, job done.
I think the lack of greece and the fact that the square pads were solid contributed to a heavy clutch. he only problem is the wife has said she may be able to dive it now.
