I spotted that you put a clutch plate on the damper plate and I think that's where you went wrong at first , but hay ho you went back and checked and sorted it so all's well that ends well. Thanks for the video's I am going to reference them when I do my GL1000 KZ restoration in the very near future I look forward to your complete restoration and first ride .Good luck and best wishes , Dave
Did you notice the damage on the pressure plate? The springs have carved grooves in the spool thingies. Experts say to replace. The damper plates are hard to find. Had to replace it in my Valkyrie as the rivets gave way. Was lucky to find one.
was there a reason you chose not to replace the clutch plates? Since doing so requires that the motor be out of the frame..seems like a good time to do it?
I noticed that the Valkyrie damper plate has teeth on both sides. Very confusing. Never got that far on my GL1000 as the clutch worked fine. In retrospect, other that checking spring length, I didn't disassemble when I had the engine out. Stupid.
Very informative video. Ist there a reason why you don‘t change the friction plates and the springs even though they are inside the tolerance? As the engine is outside the frame?
Thanks for commenting! To be honest, they were so close to being new it just wasn't worth the expense. I'm sure the money saved will be spent elsewhere on the project ;-)
Very informative video, starting with my 77 build tomorrow
Thanks for the comments. Good luck with the build!
Excellent and very informative thank you. Your definitive guide to replacing cam belts would be appreciated!!
The cam belt video will be coming soon!
@@VJMotoResto Looking forward to it!!
Love the videos..I also have a complete 77 GW that has all good parts if you need anything
Glad you like them! Are you breaking the '77 GW?

You're right! I spotted it as well when I watched the video back!

Thanks for commenting. I'll take a look at that.
Happy to be hopefully helpful.
What size socket is used for the clutch bolt the one that has the tap washer on it
You didn't show the special socket tool to remove the clutch retaining nut.

The plates were well within the wear limit and some were actually the same thickness as new, so didn't need replacing.

Further, the 2 damper plates have 2 different part #. 22322-371-020 for the Wing. 2232-MZO-000 for the Valk. Just sayin'
Hindsight is a wonderful thing ;-)
