Don't over do the grease, although apply what you need and wipe off any remaining grease that is not in the bearings. I use a good wheel bearing grease, as it will stay in there better.

Clutch
LISTEN TO AL, Do not over grease. When the clutch gets spinning it will spin the excess out to the clutch pads. Very little is needed. If you can't get grease in it, a couple drops of heavy oil(90wt?) is better than nothing. The same still applies, very little is needed. I know, I've done it this way before. Two or three drops of oil at the most. Then work it into the bearings, (spin the clutch,) to distribute it evenly. WIPE OFF EXCESS.

Clutch Drive Gear
OK Guy's, Here's a new one on me. A customer just brought in his bike with a busted drive gear, clutch side. I've only been working on these things for six years or so and this is a first for me. I've NEVER seen one of these gears go bad.
What I REALLY need to know is the easiest way to remove the gear. I think this one might be for you Al. I've got the bolt off but the gear seems to be a press on job. Do I need a special puller or is there a trick to it.
The bad pic is because I have a carpy camera. I hope it's good enough.

Never mind. It wasn't pressed on as tight as I thought. I pried a little with a screwdriver and it shot across my shop perhaps never to be seen again.
Thanks anyway,
Big Red.

Do it yourself Chain Wrench
No need for a welder. Find some scrap bar strap the same thickness as the innner chain link, grind a shallow half moon, drill some holes and attach the chains using the existing pins.

Red when I took the clutch cover off about 2 to 3 weeks ago the screw was laying in the cover of it.I would recommend using locktite on the big screw and that's the gear that I had strip out the pullers but now It's easy to remove.I tried the screw driver it did not work, so the kit puller finally worked, and is the best way that I know.Glad you got if off. I don't really know about the locktite on the screw but there's got to be some thing to hold them on,it lock up my tire that's why I found it.I really thought I lock up motor....
