    Thanks grey for confirmation. all 6 from fowlers are 62 e delivered and they have them in stock so since they are only across the pond so to speak they will be here relatively quickly :) I just need to scrape up 62 e to buy them now. The mech didnt want me using the split link chain he said its not the safest he said I should get a riveted shut one. Also my clutch issues are more than likely the chain jumping on the sprockets and said I didnt really need the kevlar clutch as such but I think ill get it anyway always good to have spares and nothing wrong with over kill ha

    The EBC SRK034 is the only clutch kit that contains new steel separator plates, it's likely that the ones in the bike are original and will be burnt black and out of spec.

    If you get the clutch kit then just hang on to it untill the other stuff is sorted and you get to ride a bit

    Then eventually plan to do the clutch as an improvement and an enjoyable and learning experience and not as a 'shite another problem with my bike needs fixing' kinda thing.

    That explains the bad noise then, bloody hell it must be bad, the front one looked ok, how much slack is there in the chain ? I think it should be about 10 to 15 mm on the underside in the tight spot.
    Be careful with the clutch, your not racing it & it'l be a bitch in traffic if it's got too much bite.
    The steel plates are usually ok in most cases & won't need replacing, hence the kits with friction plates only. Have a look at them first, if they don't look like they've blued or gone black then lay them on a piece of glass, like on your mums glass top table & see if they are flat, no buckles. It's more common to find buckled & burnt pressure plates in dry clutches, yours lives in oil & has an easier life.

    It needs so much slack you can move the chain away from the rear sprocket by hand! Thats in the middleish of the bike the 10 or 15mm of chain play with new chain?
    Well I wont be racing as in track days but it will get the odd thrashing I dont do much in traffic stop starting either which is handy. Were not that fancy will we dont have a glass top table :p ha ha

    A window or fish tank will do the same. Any surface that is flat.

    20mm or so under the swing arm about where the stand is, push it up firmly & it shouldn't touch the swing arm.
    Maybe get her a new table for Mothers day & then you'll have another tool too !

    That's a bastard, at least you've got time on your hands & it hurts less when your young.
    It's all fixable at least your not too badly hurt, you can't buy experience so write it off to that.

    Thanks guys. as my driving instructor told me your going to come off sometime and strangely enough the mech I was at lately said the same thing he has his first bike still and he had 100 mph off broke his leg and some, so I count myself very lucky and will be hell lot more cautious in wet conditions and an eye to the road surface!

    Ive already set about gluing and fiberglass the body panels I might put the battle scarred ones back on for a while or I might put on the tatty but not cracked to pieces old ones.

    Im trying to source a stator in ireland I dont know if I can reuse any of the old one its really rubbished even the drum bit is a bit damaged.

    Is there much chance I did engine damage or anything?

    Heres one for you .... postage may be a killer ... I can find out cost for you if you like

    Its not perfect as u can see but wouldnt take much to patch up with JB weld..... or we will have a load more parts coming in a couple of weeks..... but they are always banged up as its the first thing to hit the deck when going down

    If you want to bring it around I can weld it up for him before you send it off.
