Following LAB's advice, I stripped the clutch and found that my clutch centre was pretty heavily notched. So looked on AN and they are £103, frustrating, but it needs replacing. So I stripped the clutch and removed the centre, then as I looked at it, it looked familiar, I'd seen something like that in my box of 'unfitted parts'. Had a look through that box, and there it was, a brand new, unused clutch centre! Some time in the 1980s I must have recognised the bike needed a new clutch centre, so I'd bought one, but it never got fitted, until today. So that purchase from about 40 years ago probably cost about £10, but saved me £103 and a couple of days waiting. Amazing

[QUOTE="MichaelD, post: 616321, member: 14355"] Following LAB's advice, I stripped the clutch and found that my clutch centre was pretty heavily notched. So looked on AN and they are £103, frustrating, but it needs replacing. So I stripped the clutch and removed the centre, then as I looked at it, it looked familiar, I'd seen something like that in my box of 'unfitted parts'. Had a look through that box, and there it was, a brand new, unused clutch centre! Some time in the 1980s I must have recognised the bike needed a new clutch centre, so I'd bought one, but it never got fitted, until today. So that purchase from about 40 years ago probably cost about £10, but saved me £103 and a couple of days waiting. Amazing :) [/QUOTE]
