SV Clutch Worm Drive (bearings)
Sorry if this has been done, but a quick search revealed nothing helpful.
Got a pointy 650, need this bike in perfect working order for friday... ... however tonight I thought it'd be a good idea to investigate my weird feeling clutch took the gunged up wormdrive out (worst front sprocket cover *ever*, literally saved a kilo by scraping it out) anyway, short of it is there a three ball bearings missing from the worm drive, I've found two. Questions are: 1) Can I just sit the bearings I've found in place and get away with it? 2)if not, where can I get what I need to fix it ASAP?

Re: SV Clutch Worm Drive (bearings)
Probably get away with it but it might feel a bit scrapy.

Re: SV Clutch Worm Drive (bearings)
Answered the first question myself, it appears to work.
Could still do with buying in a spare wormdrive(?) for under the seat... Is it just the whole worm drive mech. I need or is there just a bearing insert available? Cheers

Re: SV Clutch Worm Drive (bearings)
hehe on closer inspection (with light ) it appeared I only had two missing bearings - although in the process I'd kicked the other bearing into the abyss so still a bearing down, lever feels ok not tried it with the engine on (neighbours )

Re: SV Clutch Worm Drive (bearings)
I think the actual part wears more than the balls. Think it comes as a lump. Keep meaning to see if the fluid clutch from slabside will fit but not got round to it.

Re: SV Clutch Worm Drive (bearings)
Just space the little bearings around as much as you can so there is equal coverage . On a side note I was tearing my hair out trying to sort mine out in the summer , I`d only fitted it back on the wrong way round ..................doh .

Re: SV Clutch Worm Drive (bearings)
The worm drice comes as a whole two part unit when you order from Suzuki. I had to get a new one after loosing more of said balls!

Re: SV Clutch Worm Drive (bearings)
Silly question but can't you just pick up the bearings from a cycle shop or something?
