1. Remove the bearing from the clutch release fork and gearbox input shaft.
Attention! The bearing is housed in a housing filled with long life grease at the factory. For this reason, the bearing must not be cleaned or immersed in cleaning liquid.
The bearing should turn easily, with no signs of jamming or rough running.
The release bearing is installed in the reverse order of removal.
2. Apply a light coat of Molykote BR2 graphite grease to the clutch release bearing sleeve and clutch shaft splines.
3. Lubricate the head and both sides of the clutch fork with multipurpose grease.
It is recommended to change the release bearing to a new one at the same time as replacing the pressure and driven disks. If this rule is not followed, a noisy bearing will require the newly updated clutch to be removed again.
With a significant mileage, the gearbox shaft seals may wear out. We recommend that they be replaced by a workshop. As already mentioned, it is recommended to entrust the replacement of the clutch cable to the workshop. However, if it is only necessary to disconnect the cable from the clutch fork, then this can be done independently by unscrewing the fastening nuts. This will not cause misalignment of the cable or failure of the automatic cable tensioner.
