FASCINATING!!! I love this kind of information. I wish I had the tools and knowledge to do this kind of stuff. THANK YOU for sharing. I'm looking at acquiring a 82 Suzuki GS1100e that has some clutch rattle. The gentleman has purchased the spring rebuild kit, hopefully there aren't other hidden problems!
Hey thanks for joining me in the shop, those GS Suzuki's were great bikes, not much of a street rider anymore but sure rode a lot of them when I worked in a Suzuki dealership in the 70's. Hopefully the spring kit will fix your issue. Best of luck with your new bike, stop back by anytime you get a chance.
Thanks again Dale! Glad I found your channel, I'm sure to learn a Lot from it. I never had dirt bikes growing up, all my friends did and they all shared, we took turns 😂😢 I finally got a little 5hp minibike probably at the age of 13, it was Fast, I could keep up with my friends on their XR75's. Once I got my license I started buying street bikes. I'm 57 now and have had a LOT of bikes, just sold my Harley Road King Custom about 3yrs ago. I MISS riding. Thanks for responding and have a great day sir!!
Great tutorial Dale. I was saying 'back it up with a socket' and you did. 1.5 x diameter is the formula for the amount of rivet protrusion prior to reacting. It looked good to me. Enjoyable to watch as ever. Best wishes, Dean.
Yeah I had all the data in the Machinery handbook, just wish I could find 7/32 or 5.5mm rivets, would make the job very simple. Whats up with Sumo rubber closing. Has covid caused a lot of closings over there too.
@@montana2strokeracer I'm not sure about that particular company Dale. There is quite a bit of economic downturn over here at the moment, Covid definitely had a huge effect on small businesses and now the cost of energy and just about everything else is being affected by the war in Ukraine. I'll keep my eyes open for 5,5mm (7/32) rivets for you. Best wishes, Dean.
When filing the marks off the basket, if you put the file the across to the opposite side of the basket, it ensures that you are holding it perfectly flat ;)
Good Job! I know you were hinting about this and now surprise - you have a nice video! I've been doubting my CT1 hub sitting on the bench the past week, and now I'm going to do mine also...
Thanks for the video Dale, I had to smoothen mine out where the plates hit too but the play wasn't that much on the basket so I didn't have to do what you did, but is good to know.
Great video, Dale. I finally understand how these work! Makes way more sense to replace rubber/viton instead of the entire assembly. For those of us lacking a mill I imagine a drill press would work. Use of a reamer was a nice touch. Even riveting looked not as tough as I expected. Look forward to what you find on Suzuki.
Hi, thanks for the tip, I have been getting them from Sumo in the UK, but since they have closed a few of us in the states are working on an alternative. The rivets are no problem, I have a bag of 100. I try to find parts over here if I can, the shipping is so expensive and time consuming. Thanks again, and thanks for watching the channel.
@@montana2strokeracer shipping time for yambits is real fast. 2 to 3 days but its a pea size distance in comparison to shipping to the us.import cost is to bad also for me since they left the eu.but you have the tools to make those rubbers yourself so go for it! I wish i got that kind of equipment.
Hi Taylor, thanks for the kind words, I got the rivets for this project from Grainger Co. They are Hanson rivet's part number 6LA70, these were oversized, so you have to do what I did in the video to increase the size of the holes. I have since found and used some on a TS 125 Suzuki that I picked up from my local farm store, they are rivets for holding sickle mower blades on. They are Harvest king, 904-006, they fit that bike perfect without drilling over size. I have not tried them with the Yamaha clutch yet. Next time I do one I will try them. Thanks for hanging out in the shop with me.
Its all about finding the correct ones. I cant find 7/32 or 5.5mm so I just went to the next size that I could find. 1/4 inch. If you can find the right ones no drilling required. Thanks for your comment, and thanks for watching.
I just don't think it would, HDPE is too hard and prone to cracking. The whole idea here is to soften the blow to the components. These rubber pucks are readily available in the aftermarket, no real need to make them they are cheap to buy.

Not too bad of job. Wish I could find the correct rivets, just having trouble, so next best thing is just size up a tiny bit.
Thanks for the video Dale, I had to smoothen mine out where the plates hit too but the play wasn't that much on the basket so I didn't have to do what you did, but is good to know.
You're welcome, these things just need a little attention after 50 years.

Thanks Jim, if you can find the correct rivets, you wouldn't have to drill, hard to find 7/32- or 5.5-mm rivets. I'm sure you can do it.
@@montana2strokeracer lengt of rivets please in mm .thanks.
1 inch long
@@montana2strokeracer Thanks for the info MR Sweger, its appreciated.!

Great to see you, and early too
This is a very good and helpful video.

Great video again .

Excellent video!. We'll done. Curious where you sourced the rivets from. I have searched and have had no luck

Any luck with these rivets for the yamahas?
curious as to why the need to go up in size on the rivets?
Its all about finding the correct ones. I cant find 7/32 or 5.5mm so I just went to the next size that I could find. 1/4 inch. If you can find the right ones no drilling required. Thanks for your comment, and thanks for watching.
Frank beat me again
The gang is all here now
nice to see everyone.
Does the shape of a rivet matter?
I would say as long as the head clears the hub it should be ok. Better if flat like the originals though.
yes Sumo is closing. too bad. I did my last order yesterday.
Yes, got mine in yesterday also.
Can we use HDPE macgined for cushion?
I just don't think it would, HDPE is too hard and prone to cracking. The whole idea here is to soften the blow to the components. These rubber pucks are readily available in the aftermarket, no real need to make them they are cheap to buy.

Yeah I think so.
Hey Dale
Nice to see you Larry
Great info, thanks Dale.
Thanks Jeff, these old bikes just need some attention.
Hey brother
