I think I have a sticky clutch , whent I put tha first gear down with tha clutch lever pressed, without turning tha motor on it will not go forward when I push it , I'm not a expert and need some help , I changed tha brake fluids and there's no leaks , can someone help with some advice
wow they actually place a different friction plate at the front, in theory it is softer so it won't wear out the pressure plate . But i can see all the oem replacement kits are pack of same type of friction plates , not mentioning those aftermarket kits have frition plates made up of harder material which will wear out the pressure plate faster
Slipping is usually linked with the plates wearing etc. Are you sure it’s not dragging? As that commonly happens with lack of use, that when the bike is hard to get into or change gear. The lower part of the plates are submerged in oil and in use oil will be spread across the whole area of the plates. When left sitting only the bottom bit will be submerged leaving the rest of the plates to dry out, and the plates can start sticking together. If that’s the case I would firstly bleed the clutch and make sure the slave isn’t leaking. Then cable tie the clutch lever to the bar and let the bike get up to temp a few times. If neither of those work you may need to remove the plates, inspect for wear, soak in oil and put them back in. In any case I would make the first job bleeding the system, checking for leaks and grease the pushrod. Sometimes though it doesn’t need much more than a quick spin around the block. If it’s slipping you would be best, after bleeding to take the plates and springs out and measure them to ensure they are in tolerance
I have a question if someone could answer. I have 98 srad 600 is what the vin say. I'm changing the clutch plates and steel. I have counted 10 friction and 9 steel plates is that correct. The online diagram shows 9 friction and 8 steel for the 98 srad model. Now I'm trying to put the 10 friction and 9 steel plates and my circlip wont go back on the pressure plate. What's wrong need help asap. Thanks
Having a look in the genuine manual you should have 8 x friction plates with an inside diameter of 101mm. 1 x friction plate with an inside diameter of 108mm (which goes in first) 7 x steel plates 1.6mm thick 1 x steel plate 2.0mm thick. This will be the 8th plate you slot in. So it would definitely appear that you have too many plates, I would suggest finding out what the clutch stack height should be and going from there
@@stickyrubbers Thanks for the reply I done it with 9 friction 8 steel had no pressure in clutch lever. Would I have to adjust the cable. This bike has 10 friction and 9 steel it was riding for a while until the slippage started. Thanks for the help I been trying to fix it for 2months can't get clutch plates right.. What a bummer..🏍🏍⛽🚥🚦
@@warlord981 have you got a genuine manual? If not have a look on carlsalter.com. I would make sure that the clutch diaphragm springs are the correct way round as well as the circlip. It’s going to be something silly buddy.
Yeah I know something simple just over looking. Ok I followed the instructions you said now is the cover that holds the clutch plates should be tightly pressed are should it be offset with ability to turn
what does the torque wrench adjust to for the screws inside? 7.7? on the 9.22 minutes on the film. thanks!

Easy job! Thanks
what can cause the clutch to slip after not being used for months.

@@stickyrubbers it was a sticking slave cylinder, bleed the clutch now its fine.
Nice easy fix, always worth trying to bleed the system first 👍👍
