2005 R3 from new

[BusaStu]

Hi from the great white north, Retired 50 something HVAC Mechanic.had my R3 from new and was out of commission like its owner for the last few yrs (long story).Took her out for a spin last week and the clutched failed. used the site info to fix it up , long story short the flat bearing ground into the outer clutch basket plate due to missing washer , got parts for free from dealer and fixed it up.Now looking into the paint can rattle (Cam chain drive failure) and fix ,lots of info on that here also.Great site with a huge knowledge base.

Welcome Stu, Check the keyway on the lower gear as not all of them were bad. You will know as it will be very sloppy. You can check without releasing the timing. It would be easy if the front cover was off fixing the clutch.
