Smithabusa Gear Indicator installation questions & Clutch problem ALL FIXED

[TheShredder]

Ive received my GI from smithabusa in the States and have a couple of questions before I install from those that are familiar with this unit.

Does one have to get any new gaskets or o rings beforehand? for the clutch basket.

Holding the brake and in gear is it enough to unlock the 30mm nut or does one have to have that special tool?

Does one have to drain the oil before opening clutch hub? or ok on side stand to prevent oil leak?

cheers

Ive used the clutch cover gaskets several times with no problems,
I just smear a very thin layer of  type of gasket goo on it  1st.

I've used the tool to hold the basket in place while undoing the nut
But you could also use 2 of the clutch cover bolts & screw them into 2 of the BTL  studs when the clutch hat is removed & place a large screw driver between them & lock it against the motor to stop it turning .
I dont like the idea of forcing nuts against gearboxes (locked up or not)

YOU DONT HAVE TO DRAIN THE OIL  TO DO THIS
Just place on the side stand with the front wheel up on a brick or paver,  lump of 4x2 etc .It just needs a bit more lean angle for the oil to drain away from the cover.
