    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

      Hardest part of changing a motorcycle clutch(if a wet clutch) is removing the fairings/ removing the old gasket material. Dry clutch even easier.

      ​@@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

    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.

  • @berlnberln5289
    @berlnberln5289 Před rokem

    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

    @adamharnois7072 Před rokem

    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.

    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 !
