Seals are cheap and easy to do and are about the only place oil can leak into the clutch . Are you fitting the modified 900ss slave piston and skateboard bearing ? Ok, then I'll dig in further to get to the seals, just in case. At this point, I've already got the basket out, so I'm closer to the se...

use your old spring and mushroom pin. (even if you have to get a new bronze pin machined by a shop it will be the cheaper option) Did somebody draft up the specs on the mushroom pin at one point? I seem to recall seeing a mechanical drawing for it, but I'm drawing a blank. I think mine's had it; I'...

I have my clutch apart yet again. 3rd year in a row. 1st time: bearing in slave cylinder disintegrated. Replaced everything: clutch pack, slave piston, bearing, spring. 2nd time: new bearing blew up. 3rd time: clutch started getting grabby, wouldn't take a load. Opened it up and it's all dirty, like...

...or a parts diagram?

You rock.

Does anyone have a part number for that seal, or a parts diagram? I've got the recommended clutch tool on its way (thanks, G, as always!)

: 4. Replacing oil seal(s). Nuisance? Figures it's brand new oil ... Not sure what you mean. Does it need replacing? I haven't looked under the basket itself yet, so I'm going on McTool's comment in the 3rd reply of this thread : A juddery clutch can be caused by oil contamination . If your clutch ...

Quick summary: my ~24k+ mile '88 750 started giving me clutch issues a couple seasons ago. Turned out the bearing in the slave piston disintegrated; while I was in there, I noticed the friction discs were exceptionally thin so I just replaced all of it. Naturally, the original part numbers for the d...

I haven't dug into it yet, but I can tell I'm due for new steering head bearings. Just testing the waters before I start pulling things apart ... any gotchas I should keep in mind?

There's a shop in NH that'll do it, too. I have their contact info somewhere & can post it if anyone's interested.

Welcome, Paul!

Cool to see a Monster block wedged into the Paso's square frame rails (I've an M750, as well as a P750). I also dig the IMO Renzo sticker ... while I'm not usually a fan of extra stickers, I think that one's a fine touch.

Jake, the blue oil seal should just lever out. If there`s no seal/o-ring on the piston you can try to heat the piston up a bit and then lever the blue seal out. Otherwise just drive a sharp screw into the blue seal and pull it out. The problem then will be how to hold the piston ;) That's what I th...

I did this just a year ago, so you'd think I'd remember what I did... But I don't. How to get that stupid blue seal out of the slave? I've already poked myself good once; I figured I better ask someone who knows better before I need stitches.

And hot on the heels of the 2 podiums came new rules backing the Ducatis down in fuel capacity. 1 step forward, 2 steps back ...

I replaced my fuel run with the vacuum set up used on the Monsters/mid-90's SS; eliminated the electric fuel pump altogether. (I also replaced my Weber with a pair of Mikuni 38s, so naturally, your mileage may vary with or without the carb swap). My fuel run goes (stator side) petcock -> (stator sid...

I have a spare tank & petcock I'm willing to part with; presently red, no cap. It wasn't pristine, as I recall, but I haven't looked at it in a while. If you're interested I can come up with a real description and pictures. Just let me know.
