In this video I disassemble all the components that make up the clutch in a motorcycle engine and explain how they work together to disengage the constantly moving parts in the engine from the input/output shafts that make up the transmission and allows you to control your motorcycle.
This is a wet multi-plate clutch. "Wet" because it is bathed in the same oil as the rest of the engine internals. The engine oil plays an important role in setting the friction between the numerous friction plates and plain plates that sit inside the clutch basket.
The clutch is composed of the clutch spring bolts, the clutch springs, the clutch centre, the pressure plate, the friction and plain plates, the lifting plate, a pushrod, bearings, the clutch basket (or clutch housing) and the primary driven gear. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Great hands-on demonstration that really helped me visualize how the clutch works. Thank you!
Nice video, very informative. I like your attention to detail, and patiently taking the time to explain how each mechanism works. Thanks!
Thanks for your explanation on how motor cycle clutch work
Thank you for the effort on how to explain on how it works. God bless you
Clutch subject is completely clear n no dou/ts any more nice video sir thanks n regards
Good video. Thank you
Thanks this is very informative and easy to follow
Outstanding explanation - thank you
Great video! I’m just about to replace the clutch basket on my Speed Triple and this is a big help. Thanks.👍🏻
Great video very clearly delivered and timed. A bit of advice though, try to be a little more mindful of where the camera is. at the moment your arm is in front of the camera too much so we can't see what you're demonstrating.
Nice explanation. Truly I'm searching in every youtube channel even in many animations but I discovered your channel, exactly what I need to understand and now I understand how the motorcycle clutch working. I have a China bike and the clutch assymblies is similar to yours.
Thanks. Glad it helped. There is plenty of clutch videos and I found them confusing myself which is why I went the direction I did in explaining how it works in mine!
Great video
Well done !
I'm a bit confused by your explanation at 21:50 regarding the lifting plate. When you put the clutch back together you do up the 4 bolts which essentially compresses the springs and brings the plate into contact with the basket. So when you actuate the arm, the rod pushes on the lifting plate but the only way I can see it disengauging the clutch is if you are pushing the rear of the basket away from the front, hence working with the spring pressure?
I only ask because I'm putting a clutch back together currently and struggling to get my head around it! Cheers
When you pull the clutch lever and the rod pushes on the lifting plate it essentially stretches the springs which causes the two sets of interlocked clutch discs to lose the friction on each other. This lack of friction between the clutch pack means that the discs connected to the input shaft don't bring the discs connected to the output shaft along with them. So the motorbike stops moving
I have the same engine and it has sat for years. The friction and steel plates are in great shape but are seemingly glued together. I cleaned all plates with acetone and re oiled with fresh 'motorcycle ' oil and put the case back together. the clutch release arm still seems to be immobile and I don't want to force it. the plates still seem glued together. Is my only remedy new plates?
Plates will seem glued together. Only the rod through the clutch should move when you pull the actuator to disengage the clutch pack. If they are sticking when installed in bike and engine is running then take the plates out, ensure they are clean and leave them immersed in engine oil outside the bike for a week. Shouldnt stick after that.
I am confused, first the snap ring, than the "center clutch" (you name it differently of which I learned "inner hub") is actually located inside, is it differently assembled on this one or am I getting tripped and its actually like that on every clutch assemble?
And also, I struggle to understand, is the clutch basket, which is primarily rotating by the crankshaft, is splined to the output shaft or is it freewheeling with the help of a splined bushing ? (basically I'm seeking to know if the input shaft is primarily rotating also)
I told my self, if I'm in N, pressure plate isn't separating the plates since I don't pull my clutch lever, and than the clutch basket and center clutch acts as one unit which rotates the input shaft (just a reminder, i'm still not sure is it the center splined clutch that moves the output shaft or the clutch basket which is indeed splined to the output shaft?) so how comes the gear box sprockets, both input and output gear's are moving but the output shaft isn't moving to rotate the rear wheel?
Please help me out here !
Clutch hub would be another name for the clutch centre I suppose. The clutch hub is meshed with plain plates and spins permanently with the transmission input shaft. The clutch housing is meshed with friction plates and it spins freely/independently on the input shaft. It's geared with the crankshaft which drives it spinning when motorcycle is running. The clutch housing is connected to the input shaft by the frictional contact between the plain plates and the friction plates. But if you take the pressure off the clutch pack (plates) then the input shaft stops rotating while the clutch housing keeps rotating on it. The clutch housing is just lubricated by oil while it's on the input shaft so it's nearly frictionless between input shaft and clutch housing
What makes the motorcycle to loose speed ( yamaha dt 125)
Bro literally has the engine of CG 125
🇧🇷😎👍
Too wordy. Got bored.
