- Today we get some highs and lows when we try to fix the clutch. Strange things happen to the engine and I get stranded...

This brought back memories. Had a 1976 FS1E back in 78 always had trouble with that mechanism lol 🤣😂
Yeah its a bad design. The RD clutch is way better!
Oh the memories !
Your bike looks all original but the fuel tank is a different shape to the one i had or maybe it looks different in that red.
The 2RU model I have, is (if I remember correctly) a model that was only for Belgium and the Netherlands. And it has indeed a different type of tank
ohh this I exactly what happened to me last week 😅 Was going for a test drive and the sparkplug went bad. And I also forgot the fuel afterwards 😂👍 Glad the clutch works nice again.
Thanks! Yeah finally got a working clutch again 😁. Feels great!
Haha yeah the amount of times I freaked out when the engine would stall because off the fuel 🤣
@@VintageGarageYT haha yes I know what you mean 😅
Very good video👍
Thank you!
The video. I'm based in Japan and have the Yamaha YB-1 which I think is the domestic name for the FS1. Anyhow, I'm also having clutch problems, so will try out what you did. Also, the misfiring is from the clutch??
ah ok. I watched until the end. lol. Now I see about the misfiring.
@@PauldelRosario Hi there! The YB1 is I think a later model, based on the fs1. I even think you can get them here with a 4 stroke engine. The clutch is indeed a weak point on these engines, what kind of problems do you have?
Thanks for the reply. I JUST picked up a used one today. I really didn't need much to press the clutch lever. Very similar to your video. The lever was close to the hand grip. I bought this to learn how to ride a manual transmission bike as I'm used to riding Super Cubs. I forgot to press the clutch once going from 2nd to 3rd, and it kind of engaged, so I thought it was weird. That's when I started check RUclips for videos. Now, the clutch lever is "usual" (I also adjusted from the handle bars), but now I hear this light screeching sound. Too tight somewhere? Clutch plates?? I don't remember hearing it, but I could be wrong. I watched your other video too and you said it was slipping. As this is the first time for me to ride a manual bike, I really don't know what that feels like, so it's a learning curve for me. As it was already night here in Tokyo, and I don't have a garage, I'll check this out tomorrow morning. BTW, mine is this 1996 model www.bikebros.co.jp/catalog/2/92_1/#spec_top Helpful channel you've got and nice collection of bikes. @@VintageGarageYT
Will open up the side of the engine tomorrow and take a peek at the spring and worm screw.
@@PauldelRosario Thanks man! Much appreciated!
A slipping clutch is easy to tell this way: when in 3rd or 4th at low rpm, fully open the throttle and pull through the gear. If the engine starts going up in rpm but the speed stays the same, thats a slipping clutch. Screeching noises are also not normal. Could be clutch adjustment indeed. They are very fidly to get right 😅
Hi friend. I have one from 1973
Hi there!
Awesome! A DX then?
I think this worm gear should be made from metal, not plastic.
I could not agree more!
It is not usually the plastic worm that wears, it is the corresponding thread in the metal cover. Grit from the road gets embedded in the plastic worm and grinds away the aluminium until rotation of the worm produces very little axial movement. This is probably the worst weakness that the FS1E has as far as long-term reliability is concerned. The official remedy is a new aluminium side cover, very expensive.
