You shouldn't need much clutch when doing burnout... Just let it out whilst increasing revs then let go of the clutch completely... Don't slip the clutch at all as you will, as you've found out, f**k the clutch up :lol: You just need to slip it a bit to get the wheel spinning and thats it.. should take a couple of seconds to get it spinning too...

I think they took the pee with their prices for Oil and coolant tho.
but its not like it would have made a huge diffrence anyway.

I also saw those and thought :shock: but gave it the benefit of the doubt in case they were very special nuts bolts and washers.
For £3.27 i'd want a pure gold one or one as big as my head to be honest.

Last time i went to buy one washer from the plumbing shop he asked if thats al i needed and when i said yeh.... he let me have it. So how cheap should a washer be then????

[madmartyn]

i had a customer come in today all he wanted was 6 m8 a2 stainless washers and 6 m8 a2 stainless single coil spring washers let him have them aint worth the time writing out a reciept for them

exactly, and suzuki will be buying their washers in larger quantities then we do so will be getting greater discounts from suppliers, but then if you dont know the prices of washers and bolts there would be no need to question it, anyway enough talk about washers feels like being at work and i,m on holiday for four days :lol:

[Iansv]

[Sid Squid]

Where did you have it repaired?

[hall13uk]

Where did you have it repaired? aye gee's in welling kent i am mates with the mananger. he did have a spare clutch in stock only one he had was for another sv650 k4 due to be repared but he let me take it and has ordered another for that person. hehe :lol: he knew i had a ticket for the bsb on monday at brnds & i really wanted to go! so i got it just before he closed for the bank holiday as well i owe him a several drinks!! :) :) thanks jim dennis and all the guys in the workshop :thumbsup:

[northwind]

Is that typical for labour Dan Sarf? I pay £30 p/h from my dealer, on the rare occasions they see the bike... Still, it sounds like they came through with the fast repair so that's got to be worth a lot to you.

[carelesschucca]

aye gee's in welling kent i am mates with the mananger.

mates with the manager and he lets them charge you 3 quid for a washer, what do your enemys do to ya!!!

[Cloggsy]

Hey, he wanted it fixed - he broke it & he's paid the price... I don't think he needs the p155 ripped out of him anymore than he's already done himself :roll:

[hall13uk]

well at least somebody sticks up for me. thanks cloggsy :thumbsup:

[Mike1234]

Interesting exercise. I wouldn't be too bothered about the 3 quid for the washer but I would like to know is why they put an OE clutch plate kit in it when Barnett Heavy Duty ones would be a better bet?

I would also ask why you were charged for a clutch push rod when I can't see how it can have been worn or damaged in any way? Also why do you need 6 bolts? Why weren't the old ones any use?

Everytime I've ever had the clutch out I've managed to reuse the gasket. On a K4 the gasket would be almost new anyway and I've only seen problems on much older bikes.

Obviously the biggest question is why did it take them 3 hours to do? I've stripped and rebuilt clutches at a race circuit in around half an hour. Just what were they doing for the other 2.5 hours?

Something really doesn't add up here. Maybe you can get them to explain why so many parts needed replacing?

[madmartyn]

half hour for dinner hour tea break rest of the time up and down the street on back wheel of customers bike just to make doubly sure cluth working ok :lol: :lol: :lol:

[TSM]

apparently all the oil was contaminated with clutch bits. It completly exploded. He said that they had to flush the engine out with lots of oil to clear all the bits.

Urm..

Non suzuki parts will not cheese and will probably not react to condensation like the SV steel parts. Sorry to hear about your financial dwellings there. Tragic!

[hall13uk]

so who's clutch can i muiller next it's only takes 90 seconds any takers oh your wallet will be lighter too.

[jonboy]

How about you let me show you how to do a burnout on your bike without fooking the clutch? ;)


.

[northwind]

I'm trying to work out how you can do a burnout with the clutch in? :)

I tooka bit o time out last week to put my spare rear wheel on (the other one's getting powdercoated) , it's got an Avon Azaro on which is on its last legs, so naturally I'm going to destroy it :)
