Just got it firing!
OK so the Breva clutch has started slipping when giving it anything more than half throttle in 4th, 5th, or 6th under hard acceleration. The bike has 16000 miles on it. This started after a long period of hot weather when I had been riding it hard every day with a lot of up and down the gears and hard acceleration round uk country roads. Prior to this I had never actually given it full throttle so perhaps it was always there and I never noticed or perhaps not. Now if I accelerate hard I get a smell of burning clutch. I changed the clutch fluid - it was a yukky grey colour. I doubt it has ever been done before. The brake fluid is fine and nice.
So now I know have to change the clutch and possibly some seals while I am at it.
Looking for a bit of advice on the actual process. From what I can gather it's a case of
Remove foot hangers/side panels
Remove rear brake
Remove rear wheel
Remove swingarm and CARC unit in a oner
Remove shock linkage to access the cover for the clutch
Drain clutch fluid
Remove clutch cover
Remove clutch plate and replace and replace the little springs
Do I need a special tool for aligning the clutch?
Is that about the size of it?
Any advice gratefully recieved
