REMOVING SIDEWINDER CLUTCH HELP???

[Wingwong]

Hello ALL Yami people,

I saw Rocker Dan's Belly Pan Protector from Barn of Parts. I want to install the same. I have never taken the Primary Clutch off. So, I need help with the steps.

First, I need a clutch removal tool. My Yamaha dealership said I could use theirs anytime, so that's excellent service. Thank you Urban Sport in Arnprior, Ontario.

If anyone can help, it is greatly appreciated.

Couple questions,
1. Will it come off in 1 full piece with the clutch puller?
2.To re-install it, will I need to check offset or any other measurements for belt alignment purposes?
3. when re-installing, do I need a specific torque setting?

Maybe it is way easier than I think. But HELP is needed.

Thank you in advance.

1. It will come off in one piece.

2. No

3. Torque to 108 ft/lbs, then loosen and retorque to 45 ft/lbs is what I believe the manual says. I torque mine to 60 ft/lbs.

Also do not spin the clutch clockwise (opposite of it's normal direction) if at all possible. The timing chain tension can slack and jump/skip if going in that direction.

I just installed the BOP bellypan protector in my 18 Winder, and did NOT remove the primary.
BOP has a handy template (see his website/instruction sheet) to use on the outside of the plastic panel for locating the center of the 2 bolt holes.
Worked like a charm.
Cheers.

Ok
Did you take shock off?
I have LTX with gas canister on side seems to be in the way

I installed the BOP protector without taking anything off.

I did the same. Took nothing apart. As another member here did, in the spots where I couldn't get the drill positioned correctly I marked everything with the template and heated up a finish nail with a torch and then pushed it thru. Cleaned any melted plastic around the hole with razor knife then I took the correct size drill bit for the bolts and spun them with my fingers to finish it clean. Took a matter of minutes.

Glad it worked out. Thank you for your help with the rivnut install. One sled done one to go.

I had my sled on a stand and just removed the shock to get proper drill access, fairly straight forward. Several ways to skin a cat for this.
