Just a couple of suggestions. Especially for those first timers when the clutch pack is fully assembled and inserted the basket, make sure the top surface of the pack is at or slightly below the top surface of the basket. That insures all of the cogs are mated as they should be. One more thought when assembling the pressure plate springs/bolts I like to put the bolts in just finger tight then tighten them, in a star pattern, one turn at a time. That insures that the pressure plate springs are drawn down with even pressure. Failure to do that could result in a broken basket. As you mentioned it is cast aluminum and very brittle and easy to break. Thank you for another great video.
Fantastic as always. Am in the reassembly stages of a complete frame up rebuild of a 1971 CB500F. Just opened up the clutch the other day and went over it, may have to get new friction discs. Your videos have inspired me to be able to do these things with confidence (and common sense) to my vintage CB collection. Thank you guys. -Devo from Delaware
I’ve recently discovered your videos. What I appreciate is the thing you’re teaching is thorough but simple. And I appreciate the start of your videos just start without a big production intro and telling us what’s coming up in the middle of the video. Well done.
not a bad tuition for DIY ..there are a few points that you may have missed is the steel plates have a curved edge only on 1 side and the curved edge should face outwards also the clutch basket there are wear grooves that if not smoothed out may catch the friction plates and cause clutch creeping or cause dragging on the metal plates ..
@@ekimandersom4478 wrong wrong when i was at honda and attemded service schools back in the 60's with Honda Service advisors from Japan this is what they showed ..now me being a mechanic working on bikes for 48+ years your telling me i been doing it all wrong...as the saying goes. .you can't educate an idiot ..even if you do have the IQ of a door knob
It looks like my Honda clutch plates, except for what I'm looking for lol, mine has a thinner plate right on the outside (that is plate area width) and it has two washers that go inside it, one is kinda tapered or like a tensile spring type washer, and I'm trying to see if it goes on top or second from top, but mainly because I have two clutches and one has the washer that's much more tapered or less flat, and I wondered which is better 😉. anyways thanks awesomely for sharing your great experience
I always enjoy watching it. In the parts list, don't you first install clutch plate A, then install the friction disc, then install clutch plate B, then install the friction disc? I think the number will be the same for 7 clutch plates and 7friction plates? Is it okay if one clutch plate is missing?
Thx for the education, but I have a question. On my '72 CB350, the steels are identical, tiny dirty 'holes', but all of them have more wear on one side than the other. Is that considered usual wear, and to be put back together paying attn to their wear surfaces?
Hi quick question for the master....I have oil leak from stator/generator cover side on a 1972 cb100...is it supposed to be "wet" in there and could be the large O-ring on cover or should b dry ???? Thx👍🔧🏍️
So I rebuilt mine and now I have to adjust it constantly with the engine temp. After it gets warm it needs less tension but when it’s cold I have to have more.
Nice video. Hey I have a rebel 450 and I noticed that the clutch basket with the gear attached that the disks sit in can move back and fourth on the shaft. Like it moves back and fourth or the shaft and makes a knocking sound. Is that normal of is it supposed to be tight and not able to move back and fourth?
I cannot find a spec. for oil pump drive chain slack for my 2007 shadow vt750. I seems to have a lot of slack as well as side to side play, almost enough that it is rubbing on the gear behind the clutch basket. Does honda not seecify this for any models? Please help if you can
Hi Bernie: Its nice to find your channel. I got a question. I messed up my CB750 1979 clutch using synthetic oil. I'm looking for a oil for Honda 750's that are 10W60 if possible non synthetic - Can you recommend a good oil ?
Do you know anything about old 81 Honda xl250s carburetor PD10a it won’t throttle down and has bad responses been rebuilt everything is clean didn’t put new air cut off. Any ideas would be helpful thanks
My idiot friend started my bike with the muffler off one side of it because to be twin I literally hit the fill switch immediately. The valves look fine. Hopefully everything's okay. I just got the bike 2 weeks ago got its running. Clean the cards you know got all the routes you made. It's done. Fixed the fork seals. Clean the tank out. Put it in. Line fuel filter and.. and it needs to clutch. So I got the muffler off in the footpegs lower ready to go and idiot started it but I shut it off immediately. Hopefully I'm okay... 1990 intruder 750 with 14,000 mi on it
I have been using this channel instead of the manual the last few days.
Many thanks again

Another great video, you guys makes having a classic Honda so much easier.
Another video I need for my older Hondas. Thanks!

The plates can go in either way, the curved edges are irrelevant

_Thank You for sharing the knowledge and experience , Best wishers and greetings._
Great tip on checking the flatness of the steels. Thanks.
On the CL175 the first steel disk is different from the other 4 disks . It has a metal bead on the inside that makes contact with the basket.

Should you have checked for scoring on the basket teeth?

Thanks for the advice u guys r amazing
So basically clean up the disk slap on new springs and good to go.
Ey thanks for the video. One more reason why I don't need to take my bike into the shop.
So I rebuilt mine and now I have to adjust it constantly with the engine temp. After it gets warm it needs less tension but when it’s cold I have to have more.

Like it moves back and fourth or the shaft and makes a knocking sound. Is that normal of is it supposed to be tight and not able to move back and fourth?
You didn’t touch the clutch plate on the clutch center? The spring ,judder, or clip?
I cannot find a spec. for oil pump drive chain slack for my 2007 shadow vt750. I seems to have a lot of slack as well as side to side play, almost enough that it is rubbing on the gear behind the clutch basket.
Does honda not seecify this for any models?
Please help if you can
I was hoping to find out if the lock nut is reverse thread
Great info to have for a scary job. Not so scary now.
Hey! Restock your tshirts!
Great video, man. Thank you.

are the clutch discs all the same? meaning if I'm replacing them the order in which you alternate the disc and metals is the same?
You guys wouldn’t happen to have a link for a 71 sl350 clutch? I having lots of trouble finding one
