2008 KTM 50sx clutch service

[@motaman515]

Hey guys, this is my dad fixing my bike in the vid. I’m currently on a 2023 Honda 250r

[@Smokevolt]

Very nice and detailed video. I appreciate your time and effort in doing this.

[@jameseady89]

Very informative and helpful.... Thanks!!! 🙌

[@MollyMOTOCROSSTIPSANDTRICKS]

Love your content really in-depth 👍👍👍

[@JeremySimmons33]

excellent video

[@Alias11-]

Can you make a video about changing the stator

[@WestHaddnin]

Man I’m still trying to understand “how” the clutch engages to the drum? The shoes are connected to the piston , which in turn spins but how does the drum spin the shoes? Mine revs but doesn’t go anywhere. I followed exactly what you did hoping a light bulb would go off in the process . I put it back how you did but still doesn’t engage . Im missing a vital step of understand how it engages. I bought mine used, and it was missing washers that go between the hub and nut. Could that have something to do with it?

[@stepenjoz1]

Are the clutch blocks tight to the hub or do they have a little play there?

[@alekk5]

Do you need The clutch puller to get The clutch out?

[@nvrqit9361]

I have this engine on a custom bicycle frame and the clutch doesn't engage when I throttle it pick up for a second ,then doesn't grab I did carefully watch you vid and I see the washers how I know if mind are worn and what's the overall number after the the complete clutch is all together I truly appreciate your help

[@sendit1158]

So you use 250cc oil in the trans? Mine calls for 150cc? Are you just using more then recommended?

[@benniemk2]

Same question here!!

Very good video, here in Argentina I have a 65 cc motorcycle that is the copy of this engine and starts the movement at very high revolutions. I will start approving. Any advice? Thank you!!!

[@davidporreca6358]

That's pretty easy it's right behind the water pump cover, drain antifreeze remove cover and its two Allen bolts, getting ready for race season now.

[@xgerowx]

How much play should there be on the shoes after everything is done and tight ?

[@davidporreca6358]

Mike, it’s been a long time however if I remember it varies due to the wear and tear on the existing washers. I never measured the play after everything was torqued down. It was minimal.

[@boprop77]

I know this is an older video. I recently picked up an 07 ktm 50 sr. When i put this washer stack in my bolts stick out further then the clutch shoes. The shoes dont seem overly worn out. What can i do to fix this issue

[@justinbrian9771]

Where does the clutch stop go?

[@DenisKz]

You didn't change the needle bearing and washer.

[@markieduran522]

Okay I just got a 05 for my girl I Dnt want it to aggressive so how that works on washer

[@davidporreca6358]

Markie, it’s been a while for me, however if she is just starting out I would go with the springs instead of the washers, if u can’t seem to locate them go with the stack I used. It will take some playing around with to get what works for her, the big thing is keeping them clean

[@markieduran522]

David Porreca okay thank u Nd what are part number

[@Alias11-]

Do you torque the clutch cover nuts?? Or use loctite on them?

[@davidporreca6358]

+rvgaines Sorry for delay no loctite, no torque just snug. These clutches run hot and the gaskets always stick.

[@davidporreca6358]

Nah I change it too often, just bring them snug, fill with oil run it to temp, if there are no leaks your good

[@boprop77]

I have an 07 ktm sx. I replaced the clutch and housing but the bike still doesnt engage. Ive tried 3 different stacks and still nothing. Does anyone have any info on this? Bike starts and runs great just out of the blue there was no engagement.

[@WestHaddnin]

Any luck bro? I’m still trying to figure this out

[@jamesrosskirkpatrick9870]

Poor camera setup, better if could have seen what you were doing.
