I have that same cover on mine, great choice

[@tw1nair]

What's the torque wrench you're using? Look she gods. I am about to replace the clutch in my 848 eco, I need to buy that wrench!

[@wuxianku]

Great diy video

[@76Gazz]

What made you use Locktite 243 Threadlocker on your vent cover? Won't that give trouble of you need to remove it if,say, the clutch plates need replacing?

[@BackAlleyBiker]

Do you mean to say “5 Newton metres”

[@dondarko7885]

Hey bud what did you do with that long rod that came out? I didn't see you put it back in.

[@stevericci3308]

I'm ready to install mine but I fling that Its 5nm torque for the springs, about 3.7 lb. Good video, I habe the same product. Have you had any issues with that brand?

[@brotheus6310]

steve ricci no good brand. I just picked up stainless steel clutch springs from speedymoto. The factory springs rust really bad. I torque mine down to 5ftlbs

[@andywynn1258]

Hi Brotheus. My bike when I bought it, when I hold the lever, the clutch used to move out and sound different exactly like yours. But now, i hold the lever, the clutch still move out little bit but it dont change the sound. So i start the bike in neutral, hold the lever to go to 1st gear. Then the bike stop rt away. Do you what problem is that?

[@brotheus6310]

Bleed the clutch fluid it likely has water and is burnt causing it to not fully disengage. Side note when you put it in first gear is the kick stand up?

[@stevericci3308]

Is the pressure plate ok just the spring's are junk?

[@brotheus6310]

steve ricci the factory springs function just fine rust builds on them since they aren't protected from corrosion and looks ugly after a couple washes.

[@brotheus6310]

steve ricci pressure plate is solid. I replaced the bearing with the factory bearing since they installed a cheap bearing that ended up oozing grease after a couple rides.

[@stevericci3308]

Nathan Santana thanks, Nathan. Enjoy the little bit of cool air this week

[@brotheus6310]

steve ricci I'm in Arizona it's hot all the time 🌵

[@stevericci3308]

Nathan Santana , yup, lived there in Phoenix, I thought I saw a little cold front. I don't miss the 118deg as all. Ha, take care and keep making good videos

[@desmo5514]

And a pressure plate change as well ?

[@brotheus6310]

Yes. I am putting some stainless steel springs in cause the OEM ones rust.

[@cledeusred5486]

[@Dhurt213]

How to take the pressure plate from the rod?

[@brotheus6310]

Dhurt Norm pull it it's just press fit

[@Dhurt213]

@@brotheus6310 Thanks man I will try to pull it by hand.

[@xKYLAFORNIAx]

how about them tires dude? invest in better rubber instead of fancy metal parts ;)

[@brotheus6310]

Yeah those were some sketchy tires the bike came with

[@markgenders8010]

Wat was that long rod that came out looks a bitch to get back in or was it easy?

[@brotheus6310]
