my adventure continues :pale: as i have now replaced the rear main seal on the 86 K100rs , installed the clutch housing etc and realized all that leaking oil got onto the friction plate and that spells replacement according to the manual. a reminder that i'm a newbie to mechanical affairs and is why i didn't immediately realize i would prob need a new friction plate after discovering the mess.
is the heavy duty / oil proof friction plate from motobins, at nearly 3x the price, worth it? i know i could get two oem plates for less than the "heavy duty one" but i thought if for whatever reason oil ends up past the rear main seal again the clutch would continue to work properly with the "oil proof". is that right?
btw one of my reasons for inspecting the splines for lube and going in to replace the rear main seal was some erratic shifting issues, ending up in neutral at times , hard to get in gear, grinding noises, . so is it reasonable to suspect the oiled friction plate as part of these problems? the splines are all in good shape, although in need of lube.
