550 clutch rebuild

Hi Folks
Sorry to bother your general chat.....but could someone direct me to some good info. on clutch replace on a 1981 xj550 Seca please.

 

Here's a excellent write up by bigfitz:

He knows the 550's inside and out...among other things!

 

Thanks.

A quick heads-up, Bill: you may find that you have more than one "special" (larger ID) friction plate with a wave washer (clutch boss spring) inside it. The North American bikes only had one; I've come to understand that Euro and World market bikes may have two.

The main thing is the orientation of the tabbed plain plates upon reassembly; and be sure to match the dot in the pressure plate with the dot on the hub. And don't overtighten the bolts.

 

Brilliant! Thanks Fitz for the heads-up, always a great pleasure and comfort to hear from you.
All the best
Bill
