Very clear and easy to follow video. I have the XR150 as well here in the Philippines. Is your torque wrench suitable for all of the fasteners on the XR and if so, what is the range of torque values it does? Thanks.
It's only foot lbs., so the lowest is 10lbs. an inch lb. would have to used on all the smaller bolts, but I just tighten by hand if bolts are not on engine.
The best oil to use in a bike, really, is Rotella. If you ride in the winter, use the 5-40. If you ride in anything outside of really cold weather, use the 15-40. Less shear resistant and it also has a lot of detergents and ZDDP. It's good oil that's cheap. Gabe from TTM really abuses his and he hasn't said anything about clutch issues. Also the basket shouldn't be moving like that. I think either the damper springs or rubber bushings might be bad from the heat. I'd look into that.
The clutch went because I tried to climb a long steep loose hill and spun and slipped the clutch for over a minute-lol That was my fault. I'll have to recheck the basket, thanx for the tips!
I wanted to check the springs on the backside of the basket. ...and yeah you have to remove the oil pump to get the cover off the basket , kind of a lame design.
@@TinShackVideos Good to know. Although mine is mostly used for city errands, I do use it for trail work, and yes, it does require massive clutch slipping when loaded up with a chainsaw and other tools on single track hilly terrain. I imagine I'll be buying some clutch plates soon😄
The clutch is for a CRF150r, they are interchangeable. I paid $113 because it was the only one that said it had 10% stiffer springs, but I see them as low as $63 (with no mention of being stronger than stock) It is Wiseco brand. Thanx for viewing!
Success!!! Very easy to understand clutch tutorial.
Can't wait for September!
@@TinShackVideos Heck yeah!

Was there some reason that you removed the clutch basket? Could you not just slide the clutch plates and steels out without removing the oil pump?

Thanks for showing how to do this. How much did it cost? Was it a special order?

@@TinShackVideos okay; awesome!! The only other one I know of is the BRT Racing clutch springs but I never paid attention to the weight.
