MG Cycle Low Inertia Ram Clutch

[yamaguzzi]

I put one of these units in my T way back in 2010 before setting out on a 14000 mile journey all over North America.It worked great and continued to work great for the next 80 to 100 thousand miles.I replaced it with another in 2019 and now I want to rebuild the original one that was so good to me.Is there anyone here with any experience with these . Are there special tools required ? Torque specs ?  Centering ? So many questions ,I know but I'd like to see what makes it tick and replace the worn disc

No special tools required to my knowledge just the centring to worry about and you should be able to set that with something on the bench. Glad to hear it lasted I have one in my Daytona.

Thanks . I'm hoping the new and improved one lasts as long . Been 2 years and a couple 2000 mile + rides and so far so good  but I want to be ready with a replacement  on the shelf just in case .Things are hard to get when you need them these days . Ed

If both sides of disc pressure areas are not worn down , a disc alone will suffice.  you can use  a rotor hone to deglaze and cross hatch the contact areas. The  centering tool is your splined clutch hub on the gearbox. Removing it to replace the seal and O ring will have ready for you to use to center your disc. If you want to reline your disc (if possible in your case), check with these folks
 Relined  disc thickness to 6.7mm ( gets the disc both to current spec and allows for wear on contact ares)
