Good Day All
Does the alternator clutch need to be oiled? Or is the clutch dry?
Thanks

Re: 1979 CBX alternator clutch
Just above the clutch is the end of a shaft, with an aluminum restrictor plug in it. This supplies a stream of fresh oil to the clutch. When re-assembling the cluth, a bit of grease should be applied to the clutch faces.
When you have your alternator off, peek inside for signs of oil inside the case. If there is ANY oil in there, put in new bearings and seal. I found out the hard way. $$$$$$
