The Bassa frame requires crabbing? I keep hearing it referred to as a Tonti frame.
Honestly in your case Norm, you would be crazy to do it without some help....I did my first clutch by myself in the living room, taught me a lot.
I have some offers of help, both here on the forum and from an old friend, but I think you nailed it when you said " you would be crazy to do it ".What kind of labor hours is a shop likely to ask for this?
" Likely somewhere in the neighborhood of 500 bucks plus parts . "That sounds like only five hours of shop labor rate. I cannot envision even a pro doing it in that little time.
My fastest time on a Tonti is 45min, to have it gutted. It's cleaning and fixin then assembly that eats the time. Clutch dust is no fun, you'll see.
What Steve says. I generally take around 2 hours to get it apart. Going back together? That all depends. Maybe 4 hours, maybe considerably more, depending on what you find. I don't think anyone has mentioned special tools that you no doubt don't have, either.
A beginners question - Would I need to pull the tank, or any of the fuel injection gear, or is it all ass-end disassembly, beginning with pulling the seat and the battery and working down and backwards ? Gosh, I guess that includes brake lines etc. ... Somebody mentioned a Pete Roper how-to. I'm trying REALLY hard not to consider doing it myself, but some of you guys make it sound so common sense that even I could do it.
Norm , it's time to actually read the tutorial . Dusty
