I was planning on replacing the clutch bearing, and trying to get some new gearbox roller bearings too, you can see the pile of bearings in the background of the second picture, thats the clutch bearing and 2 roller bearings for the gearbox ends.

Thanks muchly for the offer tony, i'll keep that in mind, and for the help. I managed to get the bearing off the shaft today, while at work today it suddenly dawned on me I had a 3 leg blind bearing pulled sitting at home(I don't know why this didn't occur to me last night) http://i191.photobucket.c...

well tony.mon, I took all the gears off the output shaft, couldn't work out which way it came off but it didn't look like it came off the clutch end so after much hammer smashington towards the sprocket end it looked like it has moved about a 1 MM, I'm thinking it came integral with the output shaft...

ok, i'll take it apart and see if I can get the bearing off that way, Would you say the cam bearings look worn? or ok? should they be shiney? (sounds retarded?)

Thanks for all the help so far tony mon :thumbup: I got some more work done this evening, removed the gearbox and got the bearings out which is pretty easy, the design is very simple! the clutch and output shaft both have some discernable play, the clutch bearing was easy to remove but for the outpu...

measure them carefully vernier or dial gauge? got the bottom end apart last night after getting the clutch nut off. took me a little while to split the cases until I realised there was a sneaky little 10 mil bolt hidden behind the clutch below the rear cyclinder still done up. came apart easily once...

Well after reading this this morning hope was restored so I dug out my ratchet strap and headed into the shed, that sicker came off first time! Thanks for the advice

Well the clutch holding tool arrived today, so I set at the clutch centre nut again but was un-successful in removing the nut still, It would seem I just don't have the minerals as I hung off it with my breaker bar with another 12" extension ontop of that and it didn't budge, so I put that on t...

with the bolt the shiny bit below it is the bit the bolt should be seated against, its undone about 50mm or so, must have not been torqued up properly.

Well the de(con)struction of the old engine has begun (has around 70k on it) after retrieving it from my friends on monday. this is the first thing i noticed awry after taking the cams out (this is the head bolt closest the cam chain tunnel) http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z170/serlant/IMAG0059_z...

will the seals be available at any bearing shop aswell then?

was the cool n comfy yoke guys, i ordered the 929 top yoke with black anadosing "stealth" or whatever these guys

I have put an order in with him in the past when i started my fireblade conversion, the guy was a complete knob and i ended up cancelling my order. 5 Mar 2012 me: Hello, I have recently purchased some top yokes from you on wednesday 1st of march order tracking number 250, I just wondered if there wa...

Thanks for the advice tony mon, I felt like it might be remove them and take them to a bearing factors :), where would I get replacement seals and a replacement clutch main bearing? haven't even got around to getting the old engine home after the swap :) and its been about a month and a half. off th...

Parts, I was planning on new bearings all round on the old engine, some nice pistons getting the valves and seats re-cut or replaced replace all the main shells, its on 70k so can't hurt. I'm struggling to find any parts like bearings ETC. all I can see are main shells for the rods. the old engine w...
