Are 749/999 Clutch Parts Interchangeable With 748/9**?

Just wondering, as if that broken stud can't be extracted from the spring post, I'll need a new clutch drum (I don't want to redrill and re-tap).

I'm watching a few 999 bits on eBay including a clutch drum.

Are they the same?

Ta.

Yes-the only difference on the latest centres is they have a steel insert where the shim washer goes -on the face between the posts-so it doesnt wear as quick as the old type-so totally interchangeable

Did you see my suggestion in your first post? Get the sheared screw removed by spark erosion.

This involves an electrode discharging a spark onto the screw. This happens thousands of times a second and each time it removes a minute piece of metal... Last time I had it done it cost about £20 - much cheaper than a new clutch...

Hope this helps!

thanks, yes i had thought of that, but no doubt it will require the clutch to be disassembled? given my recent track record, i'm not sure if i fancy getting that 186nm centre nut off myself with the bike on a wobbly side or paddock stand on my higgley piggledy broken sloping driveway.

if the clutch has to come to pieces, i might as well have a new drum and basket fitted at the same time (the drum is only £60).

it needs all sorts of other stuff doing to it including chain and sprockets and the new seat unit also needs painting so i've booked it into tecmoto for the second week in june.

thanks for the advice though, it was appreciated.

The newer type drums (drums? I call it the hub) with the steel inserts are a better job, no doubt.
