Suzuki Intruder VS1400: Change Clutch and Springs - Tear Down Part 17

How to change the clutch on a Suzuki VS1400 Intruder. One of the most common questions on this motorcycle is how to change the clutch. I will be installing a GECKO clutch on the Intruder, along with a set of Ryan Winters custom clutch springs to remove any slippage in the clutch.
The new clutch will provide better low-end torque and off the line response along with a smoother gear change.

This is the biggest project I have taken on, The bike will be completely stripped down to the frame, the engine will be removed for new piston rings to be installed, the wiring harness is going to be rewired and the entire bike overhauled, ready for spring 2020....I hope.
