Ural 650 - Clutch Rebuild

Since finally getting the bike running  and roadworthy Annabelle had been suffering from severe clutch drag.  There was no choice but to remove the gearbox to get at the clutch and replace parts.  Along with her team of enthusiastic mechanics Annabelle soon had the gearbox off the box and the clutch in pieces.  They managed to do it with the engine in situ which was no mean feat. We had previously spotted a warped steel place, so that was replaced and the main component in the clutch was turned around to face the correct way.  By the end of the session of the bike was back together and running with a clutch that no longer dragged.  Now all that remains is a bit of final tuning and to re-attach the sidecar.  Hopefully it will now give long service.  I have to say I have never seen a bike with so many faults built into it by its previous owner.  It's relatively simple engineering and an enthusiastic owners group on Facebook, meant that in the main the faults could be fixed relatively painlessly.
