I've always thought clutches were easy

Just remember to drain your oil first

The only hard part is getting the damn retaining wire out and then aligning the clutch puller thingy when you put the cover back on. I've got a detailed picture how-to for an STM, and it covers how to disassemble the stock clutch. I'd post it but its 2MB... I'll PM it if I can.

I just saw this. I have the repair manual via .pdf for my FZ1 which explains R&R for the clutch. It has the same engine but a slightly different clutch. But the procedure should be the same. If you want I'll print out the pages for the clutch replacement and bring it tonight.

The OP hasn't been on the forums since November 10th, so I doubt if he'll be at the meeting.
