2009 Street Triple Clutch Won’t Engage!

The gasket is still sitting on the dowels (metal posts).

 

Mohamed.
You should really take that basket of and check the secondary gear behind the basket in case it has lost a tooth or two. But it certainly looks like new friction plates are the order of the day. That gasket you have on there is exactly as it says a clutch cover gasket. but that one looks decent. Put a very fine smear of grease or gasket sealant on it and it will work perfectly. Please don't smear it all over as it will squash and get into the engine and you don't want that.
Regards
Joe.

 

My preference is to wipe off and de-grease then put the finest smear of RTV auto silicone on the rim of the cover. Wait 10 mins for it to partially cure then offer up and bolt up.

Job done proper. I am sure you have seen like me to many bikes seized up and when you strip them there is gasket sealant every where.

Joe.

 

1. General advice is overnight.
2. Sand them only if there is surface discoloration otherwise leave alone.
3. Use the oil you soaked the plates in if you want but change it soon after, if the clutch plates have lost most of their friction material recently it would pay to use the oil to kind of flush the engine, if you see what I mean.

 

It's difficult to tell for certain what condition they are in. The left edge of the bottom left plate looks a bit blued, indicating excess heat. The bottom right looks blackened, again signs of heat. The most important thing is that they have not warped by the heat and you should check them against a flat surface like a pane of plate glass. If in doubt, change them as well, why risk them ruining your new friction plates? If they're all flat then give them a light sand bit don't try to get rid of all the colour.
Any doubt at all change them. You're doing a great job and you want to get it right the first time.

 

Top job Mohamed, that's the kind of result we want. Thanks for the update. Now, give the bike a good clean, there's a good fellow
