Look at the photo with the boot in place. That's how it should look. It's a pressed fit so do not wrinkle it, she is uniform around the machined hole.
Hole He Shit, Rook, did you have all that lever there all this time and that means the pivot needed to be shaved down so there is an ever so loose rattle touching. The other way is how the OE is loaded and you could match the AMk lever with slight load, not race gap (rattle).
Looks like we have this variable of a lever cocking the plates.
Looks like when that happens >>> >>> Heat is not transferring and it cooks/galls the steels like you are at the tree and about to leave burning the pack as you feed the lever. This lever however, this just ever so lifts the pressure plate away from the complete collapse, you wish your hand was set there at the light with that position right there.
Looks like we might have a lever stopped at the pack or we grow with heat all this time and you do have galling/warp/something/or nothing. You can't fuckup bulletproof that bad if it didn't slip that much. You slip the clutch out in traffic all day long worse than this little blippy going home all revving shit out of it. Not a problem IFfffff...
... We now look at our fork canopy over the IIIII]< pressure plate side.
1. I'm going to think: Did I have enough push back to push the rod just enough to break and my pp to fork canopy never moved = No warp/no damage/no need to tear down/just yet.
2. Changing my oil is a good thing from winterizing. This tells me: I do not have enough pack damage to even look at a play. Why? We already went down this road with N. It says warp at the grip is cold and dragging as is hot will drag to N = No warp/no damage withe zippy trippy run/N was fine finding.
3. Someone buy nco a round How could that lever now give you trouble if before you put it away last year you had no issue. One thing at a time so keep the clutch cover on. That says I refill and oh look, same canopy position of the outer ring's X to Y I did not move.
4. Lube: Any pivot, Rook, hit like a never-seize in charcoal color, or brake [I forget] that comes in copper color. The copper dries, the char maybe not so much. Each has its own use. But when in a pinch? That's a rub joint. The pivot hole and lever pin is another touch point, The tip in the hole, that's a touch point.
5. Gap Growth: That's the deal, Rook. Gotta ever so slightly round the pin down to let the pin move away from the plunger. Cold, it's a hair trigger. Hot, the pack grew so this pushes into the pin. Pin is holding a raggedge lever pull and if you look at that tip, match it. So when rounding, that lowers it so the pivot is not flat into a round hole. Get it?
6. Stock lever for a fast test. Or, mod the aftmk not the OE. The OE is the emergency so it goes right back to stock. Salvage the aftmk so you are the field fixer like it should have been out of the box for the bike. So if stock is the pin, do not mod the OE or NOLTT. Drill the afta if that needs a deeper sink for the OE pin. Right? OE parts bolt right back. AFtmk was not worth the OE damage of that pin mod, so mod the lever. Stock goes back unaltered think.
So to recap:
a. My canopy to clutch cover marks have not moved = No warp.
b. Badnco caught the next variable on the list I didn't catch, because I ASSumed.
c. The road test all stock should know... One test at a time so one less teardown, one less reach around.
