After 52,000 miles I caught a rock that put a hole in my drive belt.
I'm not sure how long ago it happened since the belt is still in one piece, but I'm getting it replaced.

Can someone recommend the parts to replace at this opportunity with the primary opened up?
Obviously, we'll evaluate the compensator, chain adjuster, stator, etc.
The clutch disks would require a bit of extra work to inspect and therefore result in replacement either way.
With this many miles (I'm not hard on clutches), would you change the clutch parts without question?
Is there anything else? Swing arm bushings, perhaps?

Thanks!

 

Inner primary bearing for sure and check the clutch hub bearing for play.

 

Trans output shaft seal(s) for sure.

Also, it's very easy to inspect the clutch steels and discs. I would inspect them and go from there. If they don't need to be replaced it's simple to pop them back in again and continue on...

 

swing arm bushings while in there....

 

All good advice.
Thanks so much.
I always know I can count on this group.

 

I'm easy on clutches as well, and have just over 144K on the originals. They were checked recently and re installed. Still on original drive belt and swingarm bushings as well. Some people are just naturally hard on their equipment.

My clutch looked brand new at 32k when I had to replace alternator rotor due to splines. I measured disk and steels using the non wear area as a reference. The clutch in oil does not wear if you use it properly and drive like you have some sense..(ha..like you can get killed on one of these things) If you are paying someone, replace it.

Harley recommends pulleys with belt. For sure make sure there is hard chrome on rear aluminum one. (A steel scribe will cut into aluminum if chrome is gone) Check profile on front.

 

All swing arm bushing whilst there.
If you jack up the bike under xmsn, remove shocks fasteners top or bottom,
I will bet you can yank the rear wheel an inch or so left and right.
Now is the time to fix it.

 

I'd replace the Shifter shaft oil seal as well . They all leak eventually

 

Thanks!
