Checking Pressure Plate; Checking Driven Plates; Checking Intermediate Plate; Checking S1Arting Ring Gear - MOTO GUZZI V-7 700 Operating Handbook

CHECKING PRESSURE PLATE
Check that p ress ure plate does not show any
cracki ng on the two sectors engaging p ressure
cap and that surface contacting driven plate is
perfectly flat , otherwise noisy clutch operation
will
ensue.
Also check condition of teeth enga-
ging inside of flywheel.
CHECKING DRIVEN PLATES
Total thickness of each new plate, including fac -
ing . is 8 mm .
(.3149" ).
Replace plate when such
thickness reaches 7.5 mm . (.2953") .
CHECKING INTERMEDIATE PLATE
Check that surfaces contacting driven plates are
perfectly flat, otherwise noisy clutch operation
will ensue. Also check condition of engaging
teeth inside of flywheel.
CHECKING STARTING RING GEAR
Check that surface contacti ng driven plate is per-
fectly flat otherwise noisy clutch operation will
ensue. Also check that teeth engaged by starter
moto r pinion is not deteriorated or cracked. If ne-
cessary replace ring gear.
CLUTCH ASSEMBLY OPERATIONS
Flywheel is secured to crankshaft by means of
bolts and lock plates (3.5 Kg / m. torque-25 ftflbs .
see Fig . 9) outside flywheel there is an arrow
which, besides indicating T.D.C . is also a refe-
rence mark for fitting clutch pressu re plate. Cor-
rect assembling of clutch unit is made as follows :
- insert the 8 springs in their housings in fly-
50
wheel and locate pressure plate in flywheel
ensuring that punched tooth of pressu re plate
fits flywheel in correspondence with arrow
marked on same.
fit tool No. 12906500 (see 21 on Fig . 8) on
crankshaft, screwing it down enough to allow
the correct positioning of far side driven pla-
te, intermediate plate , near side driven plate
and starter ring gear and then tightening down
bolts secu ring ring gear to flywheel. To
prevent rotation of flywheel whi le tightening
above bolts, fit special 1001 No . 12911801 (see
16 on Fig . 8) to gearbox fixing bo lts.
CLUTCH CONTROL
Clutch control consists of :
- clutch control lever on UH side of han-
dlebar
- clutch cable (from control lever to lever on
gearbox)
- clutch operating lever on gearbox
- c lutch outer body and circlip
- cage complete with balls in gearbox
- clutch inner body in gearbox
- clutch pressure rod and pressure c ap
CHECKING CLUTCH CONTROL
Check that clutch cable is unimpaired , without
broken wires . If necessary replace it.
CHECKING CLUTCH OPERATING LEVER ON
GEARBOX
Check that lever dowel is in perfect condition .
OUTER BODY
Check surface contacted by lever dowel. If im-
p ression is very deep, replace body.
CAGE C/ W BALLS
Check Ihat balls are in perfect condition , other-
w ise replace them.
INNER BODY
Check surface engaged by cage balls . If dama-
ged , replace part.
PRESSURE ROD
Check that rod is not damaged or deform ed ,
otherwise replace it.
