These videos are amazing, there's a lot of knowledge being shared in these, even just little things like the tools used, i.e long funnel and cookie tray, will help me with doing my own servicing. You asked about suggestions, I would personally really like a video on servicing the front suspension!
I really like your videos!! Thanks for taking your time to make them as it has been very helpful, learned to do my clutch watching this video. Also you are very clear, good teacher.
Thanks so much. Really helped me. All my questions answered. I measured my old spings - they were significantly shorter than the new ones. I suspect most clutches that seem Ok will be spring issues. My plates looked fine but the clutch was slipping badly. Old gasket was fine too :).
Currently swapping clutch plates and going a little nuts not finding the round wave washer at 20:08 you're talking about. I'm looking at the 2001 vs. 2005 exploded diagrams, and part 21471-17G00 "SEAT, WAVE WASHER" is not present on the 1st gen. Great vid--thank you.
After all, I changed the coolant pump, so I changed also the 2 small o-rings for the pump. Since the coolant left some calcificatioj around it, I had to clean it well before mounting the new ones. The gasket went well, I fitted on the engine. I used 10 Nm for the bolts, but I have small leakage, maybe I will tork the bolts after I will drive the bike for a while
Hey love your videos they are great! I recently bought my first sv (99) and i rebuild it and now i notice that the clutch sticks. When its warmed up its not so bad and it doesnt stall but every time its cold it does. I will do an oil change now but do you think i might have done something wrong with the clucht? I dont rember seeing the spring disc you talked about in minute 19:52 when i disasembled the clutch and put it back together.
@@Mad8vCycles thank you. I already adjusted the Freeplay and there is no more play but nonetheless it does not disingage. I can see the pressure plate move away from the plates but they still stick
So I've got coolant in my radiator but not filled to the top, however the tank on the left side has no coolant. So do I just continue to top off until that side is filled up? Not sure if that makes sense and if that's what you were just doing. I'm extremely new to riding and trying to find videos on maintenance. Thanks!
Why not just swap the complete housing instead of stripping it down to rebuild bro? Just wondering because mine is slipping from 4rpm but I was just going to put the complete clutch from my old engine into my new engine?
Great video, I would add you should also put oil in the oil filter so there isn’t a dry spot and you should soak your gasket in oil too for a better seal and it will also keep it in place
I always do the wipe the oring w oil on the filter (or did you mean the side cover gasket?). Never really bothered prefilling it since i just top off after running the bike.
@@Mad8vCycles both, just like the o-ring, wetting the gasket will also help with a better seal. And I’ve always prefilled my oil filters so the cams get oil immediately after cranking the bike and there isn’t a dry spot.
Some say don't prefill the filter because that (admittedly small) volume of oil goes through the engine unfiltered on startup. Others say the few seconds of low oil volume while the filter charges causes more damage than the potential crap in unfiltered oil. Take your pick....
@@jimsnow8004 I’m sorry but that makes no sense, for one, it’s fresh oil so I doesn’t need to be filtered. And two, none of the oil you are pouring in your engine is filtered 😂, maybe I’m not understanding what you’re saying
I didnt need to. But water pump seals are a common job. Basically the same as what i did in this video plus removing a snapring off the pump gear to get it off
Thank you for the video, I just changed my dl650 clutch which has a similar engine to your sv650. But even after I changed the clutch it slipps even worse do you have any suggestions
@@Mad8vCycles I did the adjustment and I took it for a ride after 20 min, it was slipping so bad that it wouldn’t go more 20 mph. I made sure the clutch was not engage. I used Super tech 10w40 full synthetic and new oil filter
@@Mad8vCycles thank you so much man you are so reliable! Keep it up🙌 I have one more question... About the 2 rings in the clutch, I think you said something about a spring ring goes first and the one that's a straight spring goes second?
@@astrojay9782 i think i made a mess of that. but there are 2 round things behind the plates. one is basically a washer and the other is a spring (it's like a dished washer). i for the life of me can never remember which way it's supposed to face.

that's a plan. just waiting till i need to do forkseals on something

I appreciate the kind words. I do know i need to work on some things with speaking (lose the ums for example and stop flubbing sentences!)

Great video! Going to likely have to replace the clutch on a 2nd gen and this answered all of my questions. Thanks!
Dude you're channel rocks!
Thanks for teaching us :) This video is exactly what i was looking for

Torq for the spring bolts are 10nm for de 2nd gen for the 1gen are these 5.5nm
Great video and your willingness to being clear with audience, as always. Is it usual that those springs can last several clutch changes?
unless proven otherwise there's no reason to replace springs i think? at least i dont
Great video again!
Great job, thanks

1g is a little bit different. this was a 2g.
try the full clutch adjustment (i have a vid for that somewhere)
@@Mad8vCycles thank you. I already adjusted the Freeplay and there is no more play but nonetheless it does not disingage. I can see the pressure plate move away from the plates but they still stick
@@frecciabic28perhaps the basket is notched and the plates have trouble moving?

Top the radiator, burp the system, then top off the tank.

why swap baskets when plates are all it needs? you have to do plates to do the basket, so why do the extra steps?

Great video!
Thank you
Can you swap a single arm rear fork please. I want to do one on my 08.
I will not :p cause i dont want that weight
I 'm having coolant leaks from the pump, did you changed also the o-rings for the pump? Thanks! :)
I didnt need to. But water pump seals are a common job. Basically the same as what i did in this video plus removing a snapring off the pump gear to get it off
@@Mad8vCycles thanks, I will look into it
how many kms on that clutch? Mine is 60000km and clutch still seems perfect
track/racebike... so no idea >< but it had a hard life because of launches etc.
For some reference, original clutch in mine is 55 K miles, quite hard urban life with plenty stop lights along the route. Still pulls strong.
Why didn’t you fit the basket as you had bought it!
the clutch basket came out of this bike... it's fitted as it came
I have this exact same symptom, top of 3rd and 4th seems to slip. I recently installed a new worm gear, could that be the cause if adjusted to tight?
if it's adjusted wrong, it would slip and wear the plates. but if the plates are worn no amount of adjustment will help
Thank you for the video, I just changed my dl650 clutch which has a similar engine to your sv650. But even after I changed the clutch it slipps even worse
do you have any suggestions
Do the full adjustment procedure?
Using a jaso ma or ma2 oil?
@@Mad8vCycles
I did the adjustment and I took it for a ride after 20 min, it was slipping so bad that it wouldn’t go more 20 mph. I made sure the clutch was not engage. I used Super tech 10w40 full synthetic and new oil filter
Is it a car oil or a bike oil?
Also when you replaced it, was it oem plates or something else? Did the stack thickness change?
@@Mad8vCycles it’s motorcycle oil 10w-40 motorcycle full synthetic
After replacing the clutch plates do you recommend or does the service manual recommend clutch cable adjustment?
Of course. Cause it's now a different stack thickness. It's easy, i have a 5min video for it
Is draining the coolant needed for a clutch rebuild?
@@themiddleman7322 on 2g yes. On 1g if youre just doing plates you can do it throught the little cover
Do the first gens not have a wave disk spring? My old XJ550 had one just like that but none of my first gens did. 🤔
doesnt look like it... diagram on the parts site doesnt have it? www.ronayers.com/oemparts/a/suz/50d411cbf8700230d8b510e0/clutch
Did you add water with water wetter inside that gallon there or is it just water wetter it self? And if so was it distilled water?
distilled with water wetter.
just wetter by itself is concentrated so it wouldnt be very good.
@@Mad8vCycles thank you so much man you are so reliable! Keep it up🙌 I have one more question... About the 2 rings in the clutch, I think you said something about a spring ring goes first and the one that's a straight spring goes second?
@@astrojay9782 i think i made a mess of that. but there are 2 round things behind the plates. one is basically a washer and the other is a spring (it's like a dished washer). i for the life of me can never remember which way it's supposed to face.
@@Mad8vCycles did you run into any issues after?
Not really. Either i got the orientation right, or the spring plate doesnt matter that much
I need to replace the seals in my water pump, do I need to remove the clutch cover in order to do that?
Yep, theres a snapring holding it from behind
What is the torque spec in foot pounds?
@@themiddleman7322 grab the service manual online. I dont have the useless units memorized
So what would be the torque in ft lbs or inch lbs?
No clue off the top of my head. Grab a service manual online (it's everywhere)
Where did you get a new gasket?
Not sure if this onr was ebay or amazon or a dealership. I generally do reasonably well with the shitty caltrics but if i have oem it's easier
I was able to find Oem 👍🏽
24:50 10N･m？
5.5Nm is what the manual says. 4.0ftlb
but 10 is close enough probably
