Cheers! I need to pick a better one up than the crappy Norton one Im currently using. The company listing that one must have twigged that Norton use Yamaha clutch plates.

Mine arrived today....in 2 bits. It didn't arrive with the bolts/stand offs?! Is that normal?

Seems strange

No, get back to the supplier. At a push you could use the locking plate, and jam the clutch to the intermediate gear.

Thank you

Just messaged them. Quite surprised when I opened it!

Wee update - my replacement bits arrived and got the clutch changed over the weekend as you may have seen in my other post. Did find the tool a bit fiddly when tightening up the hub nut and couldn't get the torque wrench to click whilst holding everything but resting the clutch tool on the foot peg made it a lot easier and I got it sorted.
