im fine with cars but bikes im in the dark

 

If your a competent mechanic mate the clutch should be a doddle,all you have to change usually is the fibre plates,only change the steels if they are blued to fook....

I`ll pm you my number mate .........give me a bell and ill talk you through it ....

 

get yourself a work shop manual easier than you might think especially if your competant with cars

 

Yeah m8 u can do it like said above just change the fibre plates

 

oh so there not that bad then? spose a manual would be a good idea

nightdavva havent got the clutch yet havent even stripped the bike but suszuki quoted me 400+ to suplpy fit clutch and man gaskets lol

 

30 minute job

 

think ill get a manual then aye

 

nipples - you have pm

 

cool just ordered a workshop manual a clutch and a set front brake pads came to 90 quid inc deliver not bad spose

 

wounder

 

My record is 9 minutes from coming in the garage to back out on track...

 

fook lol it taskes me that long to have a crap

 

Obviously you work alot fookin quicker when everything is red hot

 

so wots the process for clutch change?

 

yep.............you end up with skin like elephant hide when your endurance racing...

 

Soak new plates in engine oil.

Fairing off, clutch cover off, undo the 6 or so bolts in the middle of the clutch basket.

Remove the cover, pull out the alternate fibre and metal plates.
As said, only replace the metal plates if they are badly scorched.

Reverse to put back together.

Really easy job

 

cool confident now

 

Clutch change proper:

remove lower fairing
drop oil
remove r/h side engine casing
remove the 6 bolts from clutch cover and take off to expose plates
carefully remove plates one at a time noting sequence they come out
check steel plates for blueing and high spots
soak new fibre clutch plates in oil for half hour
rebuild clutch as it came apart with new fibre plates and replace cover
Carefully tighten/torque cover bolts(9-11lb ft)
replace engine casing
refill with oil,run up and check for leaks and correct clutch operation
replace lower fairing....

Easy huh.....

Replace clutch..Endurance method:

Drag rider off bike and chuck him in corner of pit garage
rip lowers off and dump bike on its side
buzz engine case of with airgun as quick as poss
while keeping now snarling rider at bay,tear clutch out and replace
throw thing back together and unleash psycho on to track again
Seek treatment for 3rd degree burns to fingers.......

 

ahh see there was me thinking the clutch engine cover was on left hand side

drop engine oil? box and engine not seperate?

 

Lol at the endurance race maethod of changing clutch

 

motor and box is combined mate....

 

see told ya i know fook all bout bikes lol

 

wot bout manifold ceramic gaskets couldnt find em to buy on net they main dealer only? they look simple enough to change

 

if you lean the bike over you won`t need to drop oil. Also look for grooves in the clutch basket weak point.

 

according to manual theres fook loads to remove? thrust push rod, cerclips, opressure plate, hub nut, diaphram springs etc

loads more to remove than whats stated above?

 

I'd take NightDavva's word for it.....hes got hands like oven gloves so I'd believe every word he says! LOL!

 

hmmn according to the manual thers a friction plate with a larger internal diameter that gos in first etc then a plate then another friction plate etc etc but for the 600x model (mine) it says theres a friction plate that gos last that on original clutches has a green dot but i have a ebc aftermarket clutch, how will i know which is the one?
