I am sure glad it did not break when I was driving her. Although Dave and I were driving extremely slow and careful.

Re: Clutch Fork Failure Analysis Prediction?
seems to me some weld beads along the indicated lines for strength could be a preemptive counter measure. (both top and bottom side)

Re: Clutch Fork Failure Analysis Prediction?
I am going to say nothing silly and wait for Dr. Phil to chime in. Also, Dave Bright's opinion would be interesting. Does Dave come on the forum?

Not sure this idea would work on a broken fork though. I'd have to be a preemptive move. Anyone know a source for replacement forks? This is a part I want to have on hand AND have it strengthened before installation.

Re: Clutch Fork Failure Analysis Prediction?
Kind of confused here about 'welding' / 'preventative' measures...
OP asked about Failure Analysis Prediction, and I think the discussion would have ended when someone mentioned Magnaflux (besides visual inspection)... |
