97 M900 Clutch cover , Air filter

[CarloL]

I never removed the pressure plate , unless it was put on incorrectly by previous owner

I tightened in sequence i.e. opposites together so one bolt doesnt take all the load

She is getting booked in with Duke Specialist , Does anybody have a pic of the crankcase breather and size of the mini K&N Filter ?

List so far is

K&N Air filter DU-0900
K&N Oil Filter KN153
K&N Crankcase breather
Oil change
Braided Clutch line (Brake lines are done)
Fix leaking Clutch master cylinder
Remove broken bolt


Any other recommendations?

Thanks Darren , Bike is going to the shop tomorrow , will see what the bill is like first

Will probably get a new K&N for piece of mind

[Darren69]

Seems reasonable, looks new/unused and a low start price considering they're £50-60 odd new. It looks like he has some standard cans too which might fit yours. Not sure how much it would cost to modify them to make them open but certainly cheaper than buying some. I know it can be done but is a bit of a faff to get them apart.

Got a New K&N for 20 pound off hrs motorcycles; must of had it left over

Bar Jane! Not sure what the word on re-jetting is after filter change only with the standard airbox and pipes is (may not be required for just that change but you'll be advised to check not too lean) but if you're going to open lid and put open pipes then you will need to re-jet, for which the Dynojet kit will be your best option as it's designed to work with that setup and will improve performance. It will run much better that way as it was designed to!

Got some Bar end mirrors but they dont fit

Will these fit?

Washed the bike today , speedo stopped registering speed , odometer works

Reading this , probably just needs to dry out?

Tyre Pressure

32 F and 34 R good? Michelin Tyres, need to check the model

[Darren69]

The speedo on the '97 is mechanical, the moisture issue is a problem for the electronic ones and LCD ones on the later injection bikes, but I don't think it will stop a mechanical one from working. If the odo still works its getting drive from the wheel so it will be a problem inside the clock itself I would think.

7/8" is 22.225mm. I doubt that they are making actual metric and imperial bars, but in any case the range of adjustment on the mirror clamps will take up 0.225mm.

Those are external sizes, but for steel bars the internal diameter will be larger than for ally bars. The inside diameter of ally bars is something like 12-14mm due to the much thicker tube walls. So you need to check what you have and buy a mirror according to the inside diameter.

I run 32psi front and 36 rear. I tried a bit more wind in the front for a while but soon reverted back to 32psi.

[CarloL]

Thanks! Will measure them up
