Dale, you’re competence and understanding of these unique TS-125 parts is impressive. Keep the videos coming, I always enjoy watching your work and I learn a lot.
Thank you for the kind words, just having fun messing with the same old bikes I messed with as a kid. It is my hope that some can find some good info from these videos, or at least some entertainment.
Hi Bill, yes sir they are right on, and the quality is excellent. Jim tells me that you don't mind putting your name out there about making stuff like this. I have a couple more sets of these, but not sure when I will need to do another. I have several sets I got from Sumo rubber in the UK, but they are for Yamaha and a bit different. I have been running into the need for real wheel dampers, for they just don't hold up over 50 or 60 years. Have you ever made those before? If you would like me to put your contact info in the description block of this video, just send me that info at dsweger@bresnan.net Thanks again Bill, good stuff
That was a very interesting film as always. Would it be worthwhile to produce some simple tooling enabling you to form the rivets in a hydraulic press?
this thing has set on the counter for months, while we were getting the pucks made. 50 people have played with those pucks, I just stuck them back in to do the video then I removed them again. I did take a picture when I took it a part. They were installed the way they came out. If you remember at the first of the video, they were not even in the clutch hub. Wow, a good eye for sure.
I noticed you replaced the solid rubber bushings with hollow ones, and the hollow rubber bushings with solid ones. Since one is for acceleration and the other for deceleration shouldn’t it matter?

@@montana2strokeracer Wow, you really have an eye for detail even taking pictures when dissembling. I suppose removing the rivets wouldn’t be in the service manual so you would be in uncharted territory. Another great video from Dale Sweger!
@@GlennColley-ds8fv Hey Glenn, I really have to take pictures so I can figure out how to put them back together. Some of my restorations I probably take 3 to 5 hundred pictures for one bike. Thank, God, for the digital camera. One would go broke buying and developing film. Yes, jobs/parts like this are not in the shop manuals, they were meant to be replaced as an assembly. Jobs like this.... you are for sure on your own.
Hi Jakov, they are made for me by Bill Buchholz, he is on the Suzuki TS/TC forum on Facebook, for the Yamahas I just had some made by QVMX.net they now have them on their website.
Can you tell me how to adjust the clutch on my Suzuki ts 185 the problem I have that went I pressed the clutch lever and shift fists gear it just jump and the engine stop
Hi Antonio, it sounds like your clutch plates are stuck together. Try removing the clutch cover and clutch plate and prying the discs apart. This happens to bikes that sit for a long time. Good luck.

Thanks Dale.....now I know those rivets are available and how to install them. I learn with every video.
Yes sir, don't even have to drill the holes with these. Perfect fit.
All these years I thought clutch baskets were unrepairable. Cool!!
Thanks for all your hard work running the manufacture of those down.
Strange how it works out, I'm doing a clutch project at the moment!
Great video Dale.
Best wishes, Dean.
Hey Dean, I know watched it this morning, you have got great machining content there, will be back for round two.
Hi Dale I was the person that made the dampers for Jim, Looks like the shore rating was pretty close to correct

Thanks Carl, Not for me, only do one or two a year.
Dale when you put the rubbers in you put them in backwards of how they came out does it matter?

Where did you buy your clutch dampers?
