Make sure you notice the reference marks on the dry clutch plate and put back on in the same orientation, otherwise you’ll put it into 1st gear and go nowhere
@@chrisj2127yes, if you can see the clutch like in this video, its a dry clutch. If you cant see it, then probably its a wet clutch(running in oil). But most of the time its Ducati or other italiens using the dry clutch, most other bikes are wet
This is one of those projects it seems much more intimidating than it actually is. I think the hardest part is actually figuring out what the torque specs are.
Good for you, that you have a dry clutch. but motorbikes who have a dry clutch take up about 20% or less on the market. if you have a wet clutch, you should consider, that you have to renew the clutch cover sealing and maybe drain and change the oil too. so your title is right. but only for dry clutches.
No you can't that motor will detonate in no time trust I had one with a dry clutch....but it was a good bike for longer rides a little uncomfortable but it rode but the second you finger fk it bang
@Alice Bate yes they do just like brakes and the wall and roofing around your oven does, asbestos is still used plenty plenty of things for specific reasons
as someone who will never use this information and pretty much wasted my time watching it, i feel absolutely prepared to swap a engine into a street bike
It might not be the case depending on your bike, but you need to pay attention to the orientation of the stamp steel. One side of every disc is rough, you need to put them in the same orientation (usally rough edge facing the springs). If not on tight tolerance basket(like japanese bike) the edge of the clutch plate will catch and get sideway, the springs won't be able to push enough to get it unstuck. It is especially true on dirt bikes, high horse power for a small engine, really tight tolerances.
Depending on what bike you have, your clutch kit will include extra clutch disc with varying thickness. You have to measure the stack height before just slapping it in. Refer to the service manual for the specs. I'm a stickler for shit being in spec versus slapping stuff together but I will if I have to
What I am curious to know is, why would you ever need to do this? I put 45000 miles on my first street bike and then changed the clutch "just in case," and I could not detect any difference between the old parts and the new parts. I put 67000 miles on a YZF600R and it never needed a replacement clutch. Also did all manner of slow speed clutch-riding hill-climbing off-roady stuff on a KLR650 and its clutch was also still working. Maybe drag racing? Never been into that so maybe that's it.
REMEMBER. Evenly remove the clutch springs on removal to not cause damage to your steel plates. Same thing on install. Do a little at a time on each spring til there’s equal tension the whole time. Seen some gnarly damage removing it without being mindful.
It's easy as pie for most bikes like my dads 02 honda shadow 1100. But for my 98 bmw r1100rt they german engineard the crap out of that thing. It's got a single plate dry clutch like a cars.
You left out the part about cleaning everything (the new parts ship with” slime” on them to prevent rust) including the parts of that will be reused; flywheel and clutch cover.
Do NOT just commence just loosening bolts on a Norton Commando or other bike that may use a diaphragm spring!!! Without first using the proper clutch spring compression tool, you'll launch that thing straight into your ribcage.
@The_jN Maybe the word's got out nowadays...yet I remember grisly tales of yore, when folks, long used to the old springcups type clutches, would just commence a-wrenching on their Commando clutch with painful results.
A wet clutch is encased and usually encased in oil. Dry clutch is in open air. Look at a Ducati. Dry clutches also sound like there is something rattling in your engine.
Wet or dry you left a few things out - you mislead to demonstrate that this is an easy job - okay, about the spring retaining bolts - what is their torque, and why did you not explain the importance of not warping the pressure plate upon reassembly. - That's just for starters - enough said considering the other replies - what is best is to have a parts diagram which can be obtained off the net - You got good delivery skills - it would be nice if there was substance too !
Sucks fot the guys with moto guzzies needing a new clutch. Its basically just a tiny normal manual engine. Gotta pull the trans off and replace the flywheel or resurface it.
Let me just state that ive been watching stupid people getting into wrecks so i was already annoyed when i looked at your video lmao has nothing to do with you.
Make sure you notice the reference marks on the dry clutch plate and put back on in the same orientation, otherwise you’ll put it into 1st gear and go nowhere
🫵🤣🤣 happened with me in my MV AGUSTA F3 800. and i had an heart attack...but later fixed by a good mechanic
Clutches have always been intimidating to me but seeing this makes me think differently now. Thanks!
Hardest part of changing a motorcycle clutch(if a wet clutch) is removing the fairings/ removing the old gasket material. Dry clutch even easier.
When buying a motorbike, how do you know if its a wet or dry clutch? Is there any difference when looking at the bike?
@chrisj2127 just search it up or ask any dealer
@@chrisj2127yes, if you can see the clutch like in this video, its a dry clutch. If you cant see it, then probably its a wet clutch(running in oil).

Yea definitely
You just look it up i Downloaded the manual for my bike but I just don't want to mess with clutches and assist a 2 wheel machine..
@@ras4782 I got the tech manual for all my bike that have them in English. Also most dealerships will print your common torque and specs.
Don't forget to warp the basket by unevenly tightening the bolts down with an impact 😅
For real, also strip the allens with the impact while you’re at it
@@schooper.Then sell the motorcycle so its not your problem
@Car L yeah if ur a squid 🦑 or a noob that has no business touchinga tool 😂 🤦♂️

Oil change isn't hard. And yeah you're right about the sealer.
This comment reads like German
Very helpful! I was actually tryna find a quick and easy video and you helped with that so much. Thx bro. I can finally start racing on my Ducati V4
No you can't that motor will detonate in no time trust I had one with a dry clutch....but it was a good bike for longer rides a little uncomfortable but it rode but the second you finger fk it bang
After starting up your Playstation...
Wear a mask bro because those clutch dust are pretty dangerous to inhale
Mmm true. Too late for me though 😂, inhaled a lot of burnt clutch plates 😂😂😂
@Adobo Moto not the smoke, the dust. Asbestos and mesothelioma is nothing to laugh at.
@@firmfire2385 my boy fear nothing but god
@@firmfire2385 clutches don’t contain asbestos anymore and haven’t for decades…
@Alice Bate yes they do just like brakes and the wall and roofing around your oven does, asbestos is still used plenty plenty of things for specific reasons
07 Zx10r owner here. Only had to do oil changes in the 8 years of ownership 😁
Dont use magnets, the plates will become slightly magnetized and will attract every ferrous particle that passes near.
I read it as every famous particle 😂
You're fast becoming my favorite YT personality - thank you for sharing these, will let a lot of us get more involved in caring for our motorcycles!
Him: Changing a motorcycle clutch is as easy as changing oil
Me: Crying in BMW R9T 😭
It might be easy but doing it correctly matters alot.😅
That’s awesome I appreciate the help my clutch is starting to slip I was curious if I could change it myself thank you
Thanks bro you give out a lot of information far as bikes appreciate that
I just bought Suzuki GSXF 750 2000., Thanks on this man🎉
Sharp side out in the steels always
changing primary gear and what kind of tools needed ? can you make a video about that? i love how simple the way you explain this. thank you
as someone who will never use this information and pretty much wasted my time watching it, i feel absolutely prepared to swap a engine into a street bike
😂😂😂…honestly, swapping a motorcycle engine is just unbolting everything around the motor lmfao

Matulungin ang videos mo. Salamat.
I wish my BMW K1200S was that easy.
Remember to scrape them on concrete to get extra grab lol
Cool video! I guess you need a momentum wrench and a new gasket as well, right? If it is a wet clutch, do you need to take out the oil first?
Should the clutch's steels be placed randomly ?
Nice video! What keeps those dry clutches cool besides air ?
With a dry clutch, you’re putting a new one in after a single hour in traffic so they never get hot!
Changed my clutch, and now I’m going backwards. Instructions unclear!
i think this is his first video without shitting on gixxer riders lol
I love you content. What’s the performance benefits to changing a clutch? Which on is better wet or dry?
Dry is easier to work on. Life is less. Wet lasts longer, a bit harder to swap.
No perf benefits, it's a wear item like tires and brake pads.
When the clutch is dead you get a new one or stack one more disc if you're too cheap.
Changing oil ain't never been this hard...
Nice!!
GS and Guzzi owners left the chat
Wet clutch covers can be open? I thought they were closed or is it the other way round🤔
What I am curious to know is, why would you ever need to do this? I put 45000 miles on my first street bike and then changed the clutch "just in case," and I could not detect any difference between the old parts and the new parts.

Is it importent which side of the plates to po put,or just put plates ,disc,plates,disc....
Torque the springs to spec too in a star pattern… should be around 7ftlb
what to change on clutch housing? it is only plate or friction plate?
Is your aprilia dry clutch?
Do this on a oil cooled BMW r1200gs
First I gotta GET A MOTORCYCLE!
REMEMBER. Evenly remove the clutch springs on removal to not cause damage to your steel plates. Same thing on install. Do a little at a time on each spring til there’s equal tension the whole time. Seen some gnarly damage removing it without being mindful.
There was a guy whos shoe lace got in the clutch ..since it was on the bike ripped his hole leg off. The guy said i should have bought a gsxr instead.
I followed your instructions and my floor is now full of oil. What happened?
I hope you didn’t joke😂 In a motorcycle the gearbox and motor share the same oil
It's easy as pie for most bikes like my dads 02 honda shadow 1100. But for my 98 bmw r1100rt they german engineard the crap out of that thing. It's got a single plate dry clutch like a cars.
I have a problem with my bike ,gear 1 and 3 makes sound and not moving, what might be the problem?
Easy as changing oil.. I have to drain the oil just to start.
Anybody know if CB 750 clutch nut is reverse thread?
Is there a torx spec
i wish all the bike use dry clutch so i can say that changing the clutch is easy
Love this dude always teaching you something ____ 👍👍
Similar set up of automatic car transmission, interesting
Cries in BMW
You left out the part about cleaning everything (the new parts ship with” slime” on them to prevent rust) including the parts of that will be reused; flywheel and clutch cover.
How much do I appreciate.a cassette clutch
Do NOT just commence just loosening bolts on a Norton Commando or other bike that may use a diaphragm spring!!! Without first using the proper clutch spring compression tool, you'll launch that thing straight into your ribcage.
Anyone with one of those bikes KNOWS they gotta have the right tools for the job. Especially on older bikes
@The_jN Maybe the word's got out nowadays...yet I remember grisly tales of yore, when folks, long used to the old springcups type clutches, would just commence a-wrenching on their Commando clutch with painful results.
Clutch rod should be controlled as well
So what you doing to be burning clutches out? 🤔
What’s the difference between a dry clutch and a wet one?
A wet clutch is encased and usually encased in oil. Dry clutch is in open air. Look at a Ducati. Dry clutches also sound like there is something rattling in your engine.
On my bike i have dual wet clutch so i don’t think i can do it
Don't say that it is easy, a lot people have no clue at all and will damage treaths or don't use the correct torque specs.

Yep soak them in the oil you use for the bike
Perfect loop doesn't exi 👁👄👁
Torque those basket bolts up by hand to the correct torque. Be gentle!
Soaking the steel plates, haha ok 🫤
Easy if you have dry clutch type.
Sucks fot the guys with moto guzzies needing a new clutch. Its basically just a tiny normal manual engine. Gotta pull the trans off and replace the flywheel or resurface it.
Is that a ninja h2
It’s a ninja h5
lmao
I thought it's a turbo Busa
They're easy but not as easy as an oil change
Forgot torque wrench, and new gaskets for clutch side carters
but not in the lower ccs.
Why didn't you mention gixxer riders this time
Don’t overdo the slander😂
With a wet clutch you are going to need to drain the engine oil first.
Give us benfits & details on cluch plate, pressure plate, timing chain kit and oil change ❤subscribe...
Easy for u u have dry clutch
not every clutch system is the same tho
Dry clutches suck yep I said it to much oise
Unless you're racing at the top level, dry clutch sucks ass in every way. They're grabby and inconsistent as hell.
@@gsxraiders facts I feel like they definitely help detonate trans and motors just the dry clutch alone
Now show the adjustments
Sure buddy sure.
Let's see
Motoguci
Or BMW boxer engine.
Done last week.
Took me 2 day's.
Oil: 2 bolts.
Clutch: everything else
Wait till change a BMW
Not on the bmw r1200rt or Goodwing
hhmmm sounds a lil bit more complicated than oil change
some soak them for 24 hours, I soaked mine for a month… they worked like butter
rule the mechanic.dont use torq gun tu tight skrew. the bolt too small.easy snap.
Very kwool 🫣👍👍❤️👍
damn is it really that easy? i spend car fixing as my hobby and am new to biking. shits on cars are just a lot harder
Depending on the bike...
why do we need to do this?
Wet work
Not if it's a Yamaha Vulcan
Definitely not as easy as an oil pan drain bolt and removing an oil filter lol
Japanese parts are good ,,,your Chinese take - out order has been canceled
*Motorcycle Dry Clutch
Poor clutch. Dry…
You don’t have a Harley do you
gsxr is a lot easier 😮
Not so simple in semi-automatic motorcycle
Also 9 out of 10 people ride a bike with a wet clutch so most of this video is pointless for them... lol
When u open it up, it looks the same. It’s relevant
@@adobomoto theres extra steps for a wet clutch. obviously it looks the same theyre both clutches. lol
Let me just state that ive been watching stupid people getting into wrecks so i was already annoyed when i looked at your video lmao has nothing to do with you.
This is illegal!!!!
