It's not a fixed critical measurement, and the "seat" isn't a fixed hard base. on big twin clutches like Dyna and Softails, you go 1/2 to 3/4 turn, and in hot weather, if you ride brisk, you can find 1/4 turn on a sporty a bit tight and they can bind up once they expand. Then once they get hot they can drag and shift heavy ! i go half a turn and never have an issue.!

I do enjoy the way you make and film your videos, but I saw a few things that were off. You are indeed upgrading the clutch with an extra plate kit, and getting rid of the OEM spring plate, thus not an OEM clutch. Since you're doing that and increasing the displacement you usually want to get a stronger clutch spring. As for the clutch adjustment, the manual states 1/4 turn off not 1/2, but 1/2 is recommended for upgraded clutches with a stiffer spring. Finally the engine sprocket size on 1200s and 883s were the same from 86-03, but they had different drive gearing. The smaller gearing for the engine sprocket is only relevant on 04+ models and can easily be mitigated with a larger or smaller drive pulley/sprocket. I'm probably wrong about something in there myself with all the different sportster variants tho haha. Interested to see how your build goes 👍.

Just a thought: Why not use the heating and dunking in oil technique for bluing/rust protection on your existing bolts (or even a bottle of cold bluing solution), and save the money budgeted for new bolts for something else? At a twelve Newton/meter torque spec, I don't think you need to worry about compromising the integrity of the bolts with the torch during heating. The darkened bolt against the aluminum primary/clutch housing would be a nice look. A little effort in cleaning the old hardware and sprucing it up could equal big savings that could be applied elsewhere on the bike.

It looks like you put the spring plate (grenade plate) back in. These fall apart at about 30000 miles and you have bits of brass rivets and spring steel floating all through the gearbox. The mod is to replace it with all frictions and steels, or to use the 'judder spring' set up from the XR1200. Also Harley used a normal ball bearing for the thrust bearing, not a proper thrust bearing. Its a $15 dollar bearing to replace with 7200B which is an angular thrust bearing. These are really only the two shitty cheap stupid things on a sporty (well, apart from the shocks) and well worth doing.I did it in my 2005 and now in the 1995. Also, I really enjoy your videos. Thanks!

I've actually made the plate in to a cool steam punk feature on my Goldwing Rat Bike!... so it's still gone to good use lol Thanks again for your support, Del

Amsoil primary in there. I just use the regular 20-50 amsoil but was thinking about changing it to the primary when I change my clutch. Can you feel a difference in both oils??

The clutch spring tool has paid for itself already. I'm curious to see which bars you have gone for! I see the new clutch cable is lined and much better quality than the one removed. Brilliant tips on every part of the build and excellent picture and sound quality. The old girl is coming along nicely. Greetings from a very snowy Sweden! 🇸🇪🇬🇧🥶👌🏻

Thanks you Paul, it was practically impossible tio get an age specific clutch cable without importing one from the USA, I had this in the cupboard from a 2010 bike, the ends are the same and it's longer which i will need it to be later. using what i had.. Hope the snow clears for you soon and you can get out on the bike. D&Pxx

@@Moonfleet41 I know the feeling about parts availability Del. Been waiting weeks for some new bits for the street bob which will hopefully be here by the time the snow clears. Was out on the bike at the weekend but not much fun in almost sub zero temps. Hope you guys are having it better. 🥶👋🏻

Another small correction: HD Service Manual states for adjusting the clutch mechanism "turn the screw counter-clockwise until is seated then turn a 1/4 turn clockwise", not 1/2 turn. These things can be very confusing specialy for newcomers.

It's not that critical mate, the difference in adjusted depth between 1/4 and 1/2 a turn would be measured in thou... it's purely to give expansion space for heat, so depending on where you live (hot or cold climate) and what you put your clutch through (top gear cruising or heavy commuting) depends on what adjustment is best.. the manual does suggest a 1/4 turn, but more is required if you're gonna get it really hot.. On the Big Twin adjustment, it's actually recomended as 1/2 to 3/4 of a turn for the same reason.

What’s the better gear to leave the motorcycle to do this type of service? I’ve tried to use a compressor clutch tool that I bought from Amazon but the pressure wasn’t enough to get the rings loose to access the plates.
