If it's a loose clutch basket nut, it should be a very easy fix, but as with all jobs on a bike, being careful is important. You don't want to overtorque anything, you will want to make sure you have the right socket size available before you start, and perhaps a clutch cover gasket, you might want to know if it's a good idea to put a bit of silicone in certain places when you put the clutch cover back, etc. Oh, and do you need to buy or make a special tool to hold the clutch basket in place before you tighten that nut? Better to know all this before you start. Getting hold of a workshop manual would be a good idea. A blow-up diagram is always nice. Also, you may want to measure and make a note of the wear of your clutch springs and plates while you have it all open, just so you have a record. Typing your bike into cmsnl turns up no results. |

The Haynes manuals for certain bikes specify silicone sealant in certain situations. For example, Haynes for the ER5 says it should be daubed in 2 places (where the cast parts of the engine casings meet) when putting in a new clutch cover. However, it takes for granted that people know the dangers and won't just squeeze some out of the tube directly onto the metal in the indicated locations.
I have both silicone sealant and Hylomar Blue. When doing bathroom DIY, silicone sealant every time. It sets to a nice chunk of rubber. When working on a bike engine, Hylomar Blue. It does the same thing as silicone but never sets. |
Thanks for the info about hylomar blue. On the other points, as you make clear, there can be an assumption that people taking a case off an engine know the risks, and of course some of them just don't. I bet when I blew up my cranks with hermatite paste lumps forty five years ago, experienced mechanics knew not to do what I did. That didn't help me at all. The guy at the bike shop just recommended it, and people I knew said, 'Oh - oil leaks. Hermatite will stop that. Just put it on the gaskets.' When you are 18 or 19, you know bugger all.
