Great video, We have 55 of these training bikes for our school and all are starting to lose the clutch. This made it very easy for this shade tree mechanic to complete the task. I didn't have a notch or dot either on the final plate but it had 3 teeth with numbers. I used the middle of the three as the notch and worked great. 5 down and 50 more to go. Thanks again!
Did you make sure to adjust the clutch cable correctly and make sure that the clutch basket, friction plates, and those bolts with springs on them were installed properly?
I put my clutch plates in and a new cable but I line the arrows up but it's still acting like the clutch is engaged all time I try to adjusting it but never did one but the thing goin in motor that cable hooks to even with tha spring on it ant but little piece in middle of the clutch plate is loose
@@jerredrhymer638 No. Everything should be tight and secure. Your clutch cable might be too long. Have you tried taking up the slack in the cable by adjusting the screw on the handlebar right by the clutch lever? (Where the other end of the cable goes into the handle)
If it doesn’t have a notch, it might have a dot. Either way, the one that isn’t like the others should be the last one you put in which would be the one that is closest to you.
Mine have no notch or dot but one is slightly bigger than rest so I assume that goes outside. It's a virago but my brother bought the old style cork type plates

This is a video for the 250CC motor. I don’t know anything about the 125’s (or that they even made them that small). But, my advice would be check your work. Make sure you line up all of the plates in the basket, the plates were soaked in oil, etc. Can I ask what happenes when you shift into fifth?
That’s fine. As long as everything went together smoothly, then you’re fine. Just out of curiosity, did you let the plates soak (overnight) in fresh, clean oil? If not, that could be why they stick. But other than that, you don’t have any issues with shifting through the gears at all?
@@calebhudson3156 so they’re slipping? Did you make sure to install them correctly? The one with the dot or notch is the very last one you’ll put in and the notch/dot has to be in between the two dots on the clutch basket teeth.
@@zekeworst9193 ended up being shitty Chinese clutch pack. My steel plates were warped from the previous owner. I used new steel plates and the old clutch and the bike works perfectly fine now

Great video!! Thank you for creating such a clear and easy to follow clutch replacement tutorial.
No problem! You’re most welcome.
Very informative and thanks for pointing out the subtleties of the plates, arrows, etc.
I appreciate you man, thanks for showing all this work, was very helpful.
Great, hard to find cluth replacement vediotutorial.. now I wanna do on my old 250 virago..
Great video man .. u make it look very easy
Thank you sir! I tried to make it as detailed as I could. Hope it helped you!
Great video, I am wondering why that motor melted though.
Well done!
@@neatostudios Thank you! Glad I could help. Be sure to check out my other videos as well!
Brilliant, thanks for that!
I have been trying to set the timing on my 250 it's a V-Twin do you have any videos on the putting the heads in timing chains on
I do not. I’m sorry!
Perfect. Thank you!
I already did the replacement but now I can't get any pressure on my clutch handle

Even with spring on the motor side of cable is it supposed to act like it ant hooked up ???
@@jerredrhymer638 No. Everything should be tight and secure. Your clutch cable might be too long. Have you tried taking up the slack in the cable by adjusting the screw on the handlebar right by the clutch lever? (Where the other end of the cable goes into the handle)
Hey I bought clutchs and 4 of them have the notches and one of them don't so would the one without the notch go towards me?
If it doesn’t have a notch, it might have a dot. Either way, the one that isn’t like the others should be the last one you put in which would be the one that is closest to you.
Mine have no notch or dot but one is slightly bigger than rest so I assume that goes outside. It's a virago but my brother bought the old style cork type plates
is this possible to do it outside in a parking lot?
It is, but I wouldn’t recommend it cause of the dirt.

@@HighAway Yeah, that could work. Just make sure you don’t get any grit inside the oil or on the plates and you should be fine.
Hi , my Virago 125 , only 4 gear in 5 dont work !
This is a video for the 250CC motor. I don’t know anything about the 125’s (or that they even made them that small). But, my advice would be check your work. Make sure you line up all of the plates in the basket, the plates were soaked in oil, etc. Can I ask what happenes when you shift into fifth?
@@zekeworst9193 thnx 👍
What do you soak the clutch plates in?
Oil. Let them sit overnight if you can.
1400 cm? what does that mean?
Cubic Centimeters. It’s the size of the motor.
cm3 is equivalent to CC? i just have never seen that before but thanks for answering.
@@HighAway Yes, it is.
@@zekeworst9193 Oil capacity of the engine^
@@Daschickenify Are you asking or telling?
My piston literally looks the same 😆
Just put a new set in. The first three friction plates stick
That’s fine. As long as everything went together smoothly, then you’re fine. Just out of curiosity, did you let the plates soak (overnight) in fresh, clean oil? If not, that could be why they stick. But other than that, you don’t have any issues with shifting through the gears at all?
@@zekeworst9193 I soaked them for over 24 hours. When I let the clutch lever out I get very small amounts of power..bike won’t even stall
@@calebhudson3156 so they’re slipping? Did you make sure to install them correctly? The one with the dot or notch is the very last one you’ll put in and the notch/dot has to be in between the two dots on the clutch basket teeth.
@@zekeworst9193 slipping worse than before. Chinese kit. No notches or dots
@@zekeworst9193 ended up being shitty Chinese clutch pack. My steel plates were warped from the previous owner. I used new steel plates and the old clutch and the bike works perfectly fine now
Yoh never reset the clutch pin
Clutch pin?
Ok..
هههههههه الفيراكو لعبتي🌹😘
you're talking too much about the gasket. People arn't that stupid.
First of all, it’s “aren’t”. Not “arnt”.
Secondly, I would rather over explain something than under explain it but thank you for your input!
What did happen to the engine exactly? thx
The guy who sold me the bike melted this motor and replaced it with a new one.
