Would you think that the machining marks running radially (vs circumferentially) would lead to increased wear rate on the brake pads? At least until the pads wear away the machining marks?

Excellent idea and nice machining tips 😉

When I was setting up racing drum brakes we'd put in two shims, one between each face of the brake cam and it's respective shoe to bring the shoes out to where they will be when the brakes are applied. We'd then grind the shoe material so that the shoe diameter exactly matched the internal diameter of the drum to get an effectively perfect, full contact between the shoes and the drum.

Great video for old models

Nicely done matey. Did it fit ok after the plating ? Cheers

Are these CB400F clutch damper rubbers still available? I saw your listing on eBay a few weeks ago for 2 sizes but unfortunately it disappeared before I could order them

😢Just

Great video i need to do this to a 2 year only ATV as when they were last skimmed they weren't round so its ruined them. I am at that point were i go do i buy the material or get a professional to do it who does it daily s surley get the cast cheaper than i can

Do you know if the rubbers are still available. I saw a guy selling them (in 2 sizes) on eBay a few weeks ago but the listing has now disappeared

Boa noite amigo sou do Brasil ficou quanto tempo a minha é uma MT09 tá com este mesmo problema? Aprovou ou não

Como ficou as feitas com nylon? Amigo ficou quanto tempo sem barulho 😊

I replaced the clutch basket bushings in my 1981 Kawasaki 305 using a similar idea. Instead of Teflon i used a liquid polyurethane and poured the bushing pockets full. After it sets up it's really tough yet flexible and works great. I posted the whole process in the Facebook KZ305 owners group about 2 years ago. The Teflon seems a great option too.

Very nice video!

I used to reline hubs exactly as you have for a local post office contractor using Honda Cub 125cc motorcycles. They were really expensive & didn't last all that long. I was always concerned about the cast liner slipping, so I would screw cut the hub & liner with a 1.5mm pitch thread & screw it into the hub. Noting direction that the braking torque would always screw the liner in tighter against the back of the hub + filled it with locktite. Worked a treat, but it was time consuming & eventually just used OEM

Beautiful work! Engineering student here. This video was instrumental in finishing a difficult assignment. Thanks!

Great job I watched you perform there was just wondering why no pic tite was used to keep new screws from coming back out was all...nice using Teflon wut right tools u had to create them ... outstanding everyone doesn't have that tool to make clutch basket dampers ...Honda doesn't sell them individually..I suppose they want you to buy entire brand new clutch basket 😁 lol

May I ask why you didn't add any loc tite to those new screws you used in place of the drilled out rivet holes? So they wouldn't back themselves out under load as bike engine vibrates when running ?

I've been looking for someone who can do this for me for a while, it's literally holding up my project bike from continuing 😢... I've got the hub separated from the wheel and sandblasted..I hope you could you fit a new break lining for me please? I'm London based but I work in Cambridge so I can drop it to you or ship it 🙏

Hi. Great, informative video. So I’ve just been quoted £550 to have two solid discs from an XS650 skimmed like yours and drilled 112 holes each. I understand the level of time and skill involved however unfortunately I’ve had to say no at that price. ☹️

Good content. Thank you

polyurethane rubber, seems to be stronger than the clutch housing rubber

Really nice job. Enjoyed watching it. I'm working on a 1979 Suzuki GS550 cafe racer now and was considering making a new top yoke. Thanks

g,day Max. can you reply back and let me know the dimensions for machining and drilling. I'm not a machinist but do have a small hobby lathe, no milling machine and a 1975 CB400 4 with no clutch. I am hoping I can use a drill press to slot out. Regards Eddie. Western Australia

Can you do a video of a block head resurfacing with the mill?

olmaz👎 vites geçişleri sertleşir

G,day Max, yes another guy with a CB400 4 clutch basket damper issue's. Can you tell me where did you source your Viton cord and what size. Would you be prepare to share your machining details. Also how long did your Teflon dampers last, time and mileage? might consider using Teflon if I can't source Viton here in Western Australia. Regards EddiE Kirby

Brilliant job 👍 I have 1982 Honda xl 500 that requires this job. Where did you buy your cast from? And how much for someone to do this job for me. Many thanks

you could've replaced with dics brakes but ok good job

Or just put a disc and have better braking system

Well that’s a lot more comprehensive than I thought it was going t on be! Very nice job. Is the brake still shite though! My 7” triumph drum is!

dont throw them jesus.. keep as emergency spares.........beautiful miller !!!!!!!!!!!!! i must have one

👍👌

A very nice job. I used to do drum brakes on stands in the parking lot, because I would pull drum and then wash clean with a garden water hose/ nozzle. No dust, and nicer to disassemble clean brakes.

Смешно даже не кавырялся с этим авто даже авто трудно назвать слишком много недостатков

Looks like Suzuki-discs as far as I can see.

Steel did you say ?

I didn't see you adjust the brakes after, so assume they are self adjusting via the handbrake ? Good job, wish I had a lathe to do mine.

does this problem cause irritating sound when engine breaking? I recently got this issue on my mt 15

Very well done ! What about silicone ?. Too soft ?

Mantap

Excellent job. Whenever you decide to sell sets, I'm up for some!

Will the play lead to noise when idle?

Hi. I have some EBC V Rotors (floating) that need skimming. Is this possible? Thanks

Good job mate. Would you be interested in making some for customers? I would happily pay for them. Could be a nice job on the side. Nobody else is making the,.

How much difference in parallelism was there between the lathe trimmed disc and the milled one?

I like it, clever method!!

Very cool!

Great demo. What have you found is the runout limit before you feel it pulsating?

Great job. It’s funny how those who cannot do this job always think it should have been done differently. Inevitably, they, themselves, have no YT tutorials. This is a great use of your tools and the drum doesn’t know what type of lathe did the job. Ive had a chance to get two, both free. Can’t justify for a diner with an engine lathe. A brake lathe takes a lot of space for the one job it does and you are right, most just wastefully replace drums and disks nowadays. For business the time of setup, measuring, and turning would be difficult to charge for when the customer always thinks that new is best. Kudos for saving and using serviceable parts. Rant over!

nicely done
