Secondary clutch washer (2014 Yamaha)
I was having problems with the washer (part #13) wearing and the clutch coming off the shaft. This was happening about once a month. Called to see what the fix was. 2 different shops told me the shaft has to be replaced, $600 to $700. It was cheaper to replace the washer when it wore. Finally I remover the secondary clutch and cleaned it and cleaned the spline on the shaft. Before reassembling I greased the splined portion of the shaft. Now it lasts at least a year at a time. So now as part of my annual maintenance I remove the secondary clutch and grease the spline. No more problem. I had been putting a few pumps of grease in the fitting on the clutch every year with no help.
