I had plans to help my buddy replace his clutch assembly with a Barnett Clutch pack and springs before our ride to Daytona on Saturday. I did all the prep work I could think of. Ordered the clutch cover gasket. Soaked the clutch plates in oil overnight. Went to pull off the exhaust header to gain access to the clutch cover and the bolts were super super tight. We tried to be gentle on the Allen head bolts, but they were too soft and stripped. I guess it was a blessing, cause we waited til the last minute before our trip. Better to stop right there, than to get too far and not have the bike available for Bike week. So my buddy has to deal with a slipping clutch for another week. He has gone this long. I'm just trying to think this through, though, cause we will still have to deal with it sooner than later. Anyone know the best way to get the bolts loose without snapping them off in the cylinders? The forward bolt is not at a good angle to get any grip on it.
