You put a 1.6mm in, pull a 2mm out....In, out, in, out....

Have you tried just removing the clutch basket and cleaning all the plates and basket out as it's a common problem that is normally cured along with fresh oil n filter

 

Yes a common problem, also whilst apart clean any rough edges on the plates and basket.

 

if using the old ones just a wipe over with plenty of oil is fine

 

Found the problem then lol, bash em apart and a give them all a good clean and good as new

 

This sounds like something I need to do.
I get some god awful clonking when changing from 1st to 2nd.
About 3,000 miles (10 weeks) to the next oil change so will do it then
Will order the gaskets now.

Any particular good advice, process to follow. Or any improvements/upgrades that can be made ?

 

Advice! Bring your oil change forward.
Clunking is not a good sound in a moving engine, I would sort it ASAP

 

you said it was serviced last weekend. was it done by a Triumph garage using the correct oil?? Some oils are more prone to this problem, I believe silkolene or motul semi or fully synth are the best but if you change you need to fully clean the plates and remove all the old oil first. Was the bike better before the service,if so there is your problem?

 

Okay, gaskets ordered from World of Triumph and EBC clutch kit and heavy springs from Squaredeals
Over £100 but something that needs doing...
Doesn't neeed any special tools does it?

The YouTube videos don't show anything being used that seems out of the ordinary...

Warm engine up, completely drain oil.
Remove starter cover, engine cover then clutch cover.
Undo bolts, remove plates.
Clean basket
Put in new plates (having been suitably soaked in oil)
Clean covers,
New gaskets
Torque up
New oil

Anything I have missed?

 

Cheers for the 'helpful hints'
Noted about the different length bolts and the need for some gentle persuasion to remove the covers, I too have some suitable bars to use with some cloth for protection and a rubber mallet to assist.

This is the sort of job I love doing myself, through a stealership it would cost over £200 for genuine triumph clutch plates plus two hours labour = £400+.
This way I do it myself and know that the plates are oiled up and it is done properly, and so much cheaper!

I will try and get my lad (12y/o) to help, he hasn't shown much interest in motorbikes and needs maning up a bit, too interested in computer games

 

Jsut found this decent video on YouTube.
From start to finish

 

Yup, mine is the pre-change where the headlights went from round to the oval bug type
Thanks for the warning though
