450 viewsRaw handle bar. Removing the left side is easy. Squirt some Windex(R) under the grip to help loosen its "grip" and make it easier to slip off.Apr 03, 2010

628 viewsSo what do you do with the stock clutch cover? Well, you NEVER throw away good parts! Keep them for the next owner or recycle them -- that means you give them to a friend in-need or sell them. Personally, I used mine for a cereal bowl...Mar 20, 2010

624 viewsClose-up. The body is metal, the clear cover is a thin plastic material (thin and flexible) and those four forward slots you see are openings.

The sound of the clutch is now quite audible! The stock clutch cover does a good job at keeping the clutch noise down. If you don't like the dry clutch "music" then keep the stock clutch cover on the bike.

509 viewsThe four bolts are removed and the cover is on the ground (it's resting on a foam Frisbee). Notice that the bolts are different lengths so make sure you put them back in the same holes. You can also see the clutch dust in the cover and on the exhaust pipe.Mar 20, 2010

489 viewsPut some blue Loctite on the bolt threads and snug the new cover back on. No need to be a gorilla and wrench down! The blue Loctite will insure the bolts don't back out. Here it is, installed.Mar 20, 2010
