450mi in Quebec and I come home, take the F7 off the trailer and I notice alot of grinding noise coming from the clutch area. After taking off the belt I notice a few small peices of metal, then when I spread the secondary I can see thats where they came from.

Im just glad I didnt get left on the side of the trail!!

New outer sheeve is $120. from my dealer, but he said that he may have used parts for half price.

Did the screws fall out of the end cap like this? this happened to me at about 400km's on my 05 F7 last year. It's a know problem and the solution is an alumium cap and blue lock tight. That got me a new secondary on warranty from the dealer last year.

guys at the shop said the whole unit was junk, new clutch was $300., that was out of the question. So I went on ebay and found one for $99. from Cat Bargins. Has anyone done buisness with these people??? seemed really nice and eager to answer my ?'s.
My new used clutch will be here this week, I will let ya all know if I recomend these guys or not.

I bought a reverse kit from Cat Bargains. Really nice people, shipped it fast and my kit was brand new with all the parts included....I wouldn't hesitate buying from them!
