        <![CDATA[ Is there anyone here that knows what parts of the primary gear assembly needs to be replaced? The local dealers don't seem to know much about it. They allways ask &quot;a what kind of gear&quot; when ask about it's replacement. If some of you who have had this done could relay some part #'s it would be of great help to West Tn Dawg and me. I'm going to do this myself. It does'nt look that hard after reviewing the manual. It's got to be easier than rebuilding a tranny on a Yamaha Banshee.

			<description><![CDATA[ Well, I guess you have already done this by now, Deagle, but here is the source that I used for my primary gear and gaskets&gt; <a target="_blank" href="http://www.mrcycles.com/">http://www.mrcycles.com/</a> . They had the best total price and shipping was fast.
<br>
<br>
As mentioned above, I bought a clutch disc kit and clutch spring set from Dennis Kirk. The clutch disc kit was half the price of the individual discs prices.

			<description><![CDATA[ Looks like I&#39;ll be doing this job a second time, except on my silver/black &#39;99 T. I just ordered a new primary gear, gasket, and new clutch disc and
spring kit. The EBC clutch disc set was only $76 and new springs were another $13 from Dennis Kirk. With 31k miles on her and plans to pull a trailer, I just
could not see doing all that tear down work and not freshen up the clutch while I am in there.

			<description><![CDATA[ OK, I got the pics put back on. They are a little wider than the allowed  space, but I did not want to reduce them any further which would have also reduced
the details. At the bottom of that post there is a slide bar that you can move to the right or left to view the full width of the images. If your bike has high
mileage, then now is a good time to replace the clutch discs and plates.

			<description><![CDATA[ I'm not sure what the ratio between the clutch basket and the primary drive gear is, but I'm guessing they are about 2:1. The 2 gears pictured are of the old drive gear vs. the new. It would not be feasable to change ratio's with these gears because it would involve changing the clutch basket also. Going with a larger diam. (taller) tire is the easiest way to lower rpm's.<br><br>

			<description><![CDATA[ Great write up and photos of the gear change. I to finaly<br>
had to change out the primary gear assm. It took me about<br>
5 hours. The noise was more of a rolling rattle instead of the<br>
tapping noise. I still have the valve tapping from the front<br>
cylinder left side but overall a much Quieter bike. I have<br>
55,000 miles on the 98' Ace Touer. It's a great bike<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :grt --><img src=http://acetourer.i8.com/grt.gif ALT=":grt"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--><!--EZCODE... ]]></description>

radiator cover is off. You do not have to remove it. You only have to remove top radiator bolt and lift the radiator up in an angle to dis-lodge it from the
frame section. No need to remove hoses, just pull up firmly and it should slide out of the holders on the frame section.

			<description><![CDATA[ Oops, my bad. Yes, the engine case gaskets were tough but I used a medium wire 2&quot; brass wire wheel in my drill to remove them. The soft brass will do a lot less damage than a putty knife if they are really stuck on. There is also a spray gasket remover that can be bought at most parts stores that works pretty good. I thoroughly washed the case cover in a parts washer after gasket was removed. But, on the engine side, I dried up all the oil I could see and reach, and then stuffed some... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I finally got around to replacing the primary drive gear this weekend. It took care of the noise. No more L'tick, L'tick, L'tick. <br><br>
It was not as hard as I expected. The hardest thing was getting the exhaust broken down and removed because some of the bolts were rusty. A little Rust Eater spray took care of that. I have pics available that I will post later of some of the work, plus the 2 gears side by side. I 1st want to figure out how to do the thumbnail thing on... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I'm sorry Stan, I forgot to tell you that the gear assembly that was used to replace the original primary gear in my bike was for the 1100 Aero. The story I got from the dealership was that the Aero assembly was built a bit heavier that the OEM gear in the Tourer. Whether that's true or not I can't say for sure but I can say the noise never came back. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Hey Skip, the part# for the gear is not for the ACE TOURER according to the parts house. It is however for other VT1100's. They tell me the part # for the T is HP-23110-MAH8-000. You think maybe your dealer used a different VT1100 gear for a reason? I was quoted a price of $135 for gasket and gear with free S&amp;H based on the MAH8-000 part# above.<br><br>
