If you're a shade tree mechanic, then you sure got the right bike for
it. The clutch is no big shakes,others here have pretty much covered how
it goes. Just yank that engine out of there and whack at it with a
bunch of tools. There's gotta be someone in the Dallas area that can
take you around the block on the clutch repair, and there are several
people on this list that can send you a spare input spline to use, which
is about the only special tool you'll probably need, just ask . Actually
I propose that we do a virtual clutch replacement; whenever you run into
a wall about what to do next, post a note to the looplist and we'll see
you through it.
And while you're in there, replace the engine and tranny seals, and
check your universal joint for fun. Just my 2 cents.

My bike is sound except I believe the clutch has gone out - should I tackle
this project myself or take it in and have it done? I am a shad tree
mechanic at best. What level of expertise is required? I have been quoted
$700 is that reasonable?
