I started trying to bend this nut locking tab over by propping the screwdriver against the clutch basket and the tab and smacking the end of the...
Strange, I've just never seen so much slack in a chain before. I wonder why it was designed like that..
Is this much slack in the oil pump chain normal? Seems really excessive to me but I can't find anything in the manual about a spec. [MEDIA]
Will do, what about the primary chain? I wouldn't think it would but I'm new to a lot of this
Another question that isn't related to this thread. Does it harm anything by spinning the engine backwards from the timing cover? I did about 20...
Fair enough, thank ya'll for the input. I'll replace the steel plates.
They don't show any warping but I suppose I will replace the 3. I didn't know if the two on the top or bottom might be permissible based on others...
[ATTACH] These are the only 3 plates that had any kind of burn marks on them. Should I replace them all or just the one in the middle since it...
I definitely will be using new springs and bolts! Out of curiosity, have you had any experience with EBC friction plates?
Thanks for the help!
I misunderstood your initial statement when you said behind the clutch basket. I took that as the pump sprocket bearing not the bearing the basket...
Alright so I got the assembly out and need to clarify. Was it the needle roller bearing that is inside the oil pump drive sprocket or the one that...
Also, are the threads left handed or right handed on the nut?
Quick question, I know I could use a makeshift tool to hold the clutch basket still while trying to remove that nut but could I have someone hold...
Awesome thank you for the information!!
How do you go about getting to that? Do I just need to remove the nut that holds the center clutch basket and everything else just slides off?
Im almost done with reassembly of my engine after fixing the starter clutch and I noticed that there is some play in the clutch basket. I know the...
I was able to peen them over, I was just worried about breaking the bolt but it worked out.
I wonder if loctite could perform the same job with no issues though. Im having difficulty staking them as everytime I hit the stake with a hammer...

How do you install a starter clutch backwards?
As I'm putting my engine back together from a starter clutch repair I was wondering about where I should put assembly lube. I know I'm gonna put...
All over the place. eBay, chacal, cycle parts nation. Cycle parts nation took about 2.5 months to get me parts, I cut them some slack due to...
Thanks for the video! Something I was actually looking for the other day. Thank you, will defiently be checking them once I get everything back...
A few months ago I started my starter clutch surgery on a Maxim 750, spent most of my time waiting on parts to arrive through the mail. I have the...
Thanks for the response! I was starting to think the same thing, if its not supposed to be there then there is still some meat left for the gasket...
Sorry about that! [ATTACH]
So I was scraping away the gasket from the shifter cover and I noticed this angled depression in the surface. I'm pretty certain I didnt do this...
It was the main bearings I was talking about, and yes I will make sure
This is off topic but is it okay to remove the rod bearings to clean underneath? I did on a couple and put them back in the same spot but wondered...
Is 25ml enough like in that link you sent or should I get the 50ml tube I found on Amazon?
I was thinking loctite 518.
Thanks for the responses I can't feel it with my fingernail like vashtsdaytona suggested. I'll probably give it another once over and call it...
Do y'all have any ideas for removing this damn case gasket material? There is still some left like in the pictures and I cannot get this stuff...
Oh I see them now. The piston in the picture is just the cleanest one. The rest of them I can see a hint of orange around them. Thanks!
Why can I see it on this piston but not others?
82 Maxim 750. What is this orange thing around this piston? I can see it on some of the other pistons but not as much of it. Also that spot on the...
Here it is without oil: [MEDIA] Here it is with oil: [MEDIA] The grinding noise on the video with oil I haven't heard till now.
Well If I go by the tach that was on the bike when I picked it up then 9k miles. If I go by the tach that was in the parts box that came with the...
Sorry I don't think I was very clear. [ATTACH] I am referring to number 28. I cant really get a good position on it to check if it rotates...
Bump.
1982 Maxim 750. What should I look for or listen for when checking the middle gear needle bearing? I know how to check roller bearings but this...
I don't know if y'all can tell in the photos I posted but In the picture with the exhaust side of the engine, there is a tiny gap between the two...
Looks the same as mine
Thank you, are you talking about the holes in the middle of the bearings?
I went ahead and checked the surfaces and they are all true to each other. I also figured I could just sit the bottom case ontop the top case to...
Yes, I'm making sure to clean every surface I can with acetone before reassembly.
Thats true, guess I'll find out for good or bad.
Hello, bike is a 82 Maxim 750. I first want to say how helpful everyone on this forum has been and that I really appreciate it. I'm pretty new to...
