2014 Production DL 1000 Clutch Basket

[@terryhinkle5633]

The modifications done by WERKS Parts LLC to the V Strom and SV clutch baskets do eliminate chudder. There may be some mild power pulses felt, but those are normal and not unpleasant like the chudder. The precision bearing is not the "fix" for chudder but is done as an upgrade to put and help keep all the parts in alignment so they can work properly. The extensive work done on the inner plate to aluminum basket is the work that does most good to fix the chudder problem. The precision inner bearing and the outer bearing I fabricate can then keep everything aligned and that reduces vibration and greatly smooths out clutch engagement.

The work done on these clutch baskets will eliminate chudder coming from the clutch basket assembly. Unlike a new OEM replacement, it will last a very long time. Time will tell, but these are intended to last the life of the bike. As of September 2014 the cost for a fully modified WERKS clutch basket from a new OEM core is $565 plus shipping. Modifying your clutch basket to WERKS standards is $285 plus shipping.

Is that 285 USD with shipping to Malaysia? I am supposed to make a trip to UK in November. Wondering how much it will cost for an entire assembly exchange by hand. For a 2007

Hi hows the after mod will does it goes well??

[@user-ks9kv4en5r]

hello, there is a difference of 1mm between the basket body (the length of the fit under the weakest spring in the body of the basket) and the groove in the gear, that is, the groove in the gear is 1mm longer, because of this there is free movement, should it be like this? or do something about it? at the same time, the weakest spring has a rod diameter of 4 mm, the rest are all the same, (gsx-r 750) The backlash is the same as in your video at 2:28

I put an old Clutch assemble form a Suzuki TL1000R and is working perfect in my SV1000S.

[@Alex-gc7vl]

Does the TLR1000 clutch fit on the SV1000S with no modifications? Do you need the whole clutch or you can replace only the basket? Thanks

[@marinescu01]

Alexandru Mocanu You need everything, Clutch basket, plates and the most important thing the piece that push the plates when you pull the clutch, is smaller, otherwise your clutch will not engage. If you use the TLR clutch, the sliping mechanism is the same as SVs, but if you use the TLS you need also that one. The best way is the have all the parts.

[@user-ks9kv4en5r]

Hello, do you balance the baskets after repairs, or is this not required?

[@werkspartsllc7856]

No balancing. Not "balanced" at the factory. Too many moving parts to balance as an assembly. I did have one customer attempt to have this done....and found NO improvement at all for a LOT of time spent. My practice of centering all parts relative to the gear hub bore and trimming the anti balloon ring on exterior of the aluminum bell does seem to make the clutch baskets WERKS builds smoother than new ones.

Hi, have a question, you had a movie with clutch basket for a dl 1000 2014 against. with serial number 2120031Y10 - fits it to my dl 1000 v strom 2006 against. Thank you for your response.

[@motorax.service.motociclete]

Hi. Why did you choose screws over riveting the plate? Would that screws hold a bigger power than DL1000? like for example R1, GSXR1000, ZX10RR, S1000RR? I'm interested in making a colab with you, but we're from Europe

[@werkspartsllc7856]

Rivets are ok for a high production facility watching costs closely. They can have one machine set up to do the riveting with little labor or cost involved. High strength threaded fasteners take more time, labor, and money to use. Casting must be threaded. Threaded fasteners are more expensive to purchase or make. more labor involved to start the threads and torque them to a specification. The downfall to rivets is that they are a softer steel. The must be to allow the expansion of one end to seal the rivet in place. Rivets do not hold the parts together with the same compression strength that a threaded fastener can and does. So there will be an amount of "fretting" from the not so tight fit between these parts. Cost of fasteners isn't a big part of the cost of building a WERKS clutch basket. The fact that the threaded fasteners I use have both a higher compression tension loading AND a higher shear force rating is the main reason they are used over rivets. I could set up a press to rivet these, or like some weld on them to finish them, but the fact is that the threaded fastener is a better, stronger, and more precise way of reassembling these clutch baskets.

[@brianpreston8483]

so will a sv1000 basket fit a dl1000?

[@werkspartsllc7856]

Physically yes. But they really shouldn't be used in the DL 1000. The SV 1000 makes a lot more power than the DL 1000. It has much stronger damper springs inside the clutch basket. Putting an SV basket in a DL would mean the power pulses wouldn't be dampened out as well. Putting a DL basket in an SV would likely tear up something over time as the action of the clutch basket would allow it to hit the stops often and with great force due to the softer springs.

Does this chudder lead to clutch failure or is it just an annoyance?

[@terryhinkle5633]

No, it does not lead to clutch "failure" as in leaving you stranded. It just gets so bad that the vibration makes you change how you ride it. Meaning you want to keep the revs over 4000 if possible to stay above the worst vibration range. Since it comes on slowly many owners don't realize how bad their bike has gotten. Many owners of the previous generation DL 1000 have installed one, two, or even three replacement baskets as they get bad. Once you feel what chudder is, you can feel it coming on before it is too bad. WERKS modified clutch baskets do NOT go downhill like a new OEM replacement.

[@depravedone]

I have a 2006 DL1000 and a 2014 Yamaha Bolt. The Bolt is so noisy and vibes so much, I'm not sure I can detect this chudder. Sounds like a good winter project for me though as I am always looking for an excuse to put new parts on my ride. Thanks for the quick reply!

[@terryhinkle5633]

Not all bikes have problems with clutch baskets. The Bolt is something I have not worked on yet. We were working on fixes for the Yamaha Super Tenere....until Yamaha fixed their own problem with the all new design for 2014 S-10's. There are some other models that may not "chudder", but have other issues that can be upgraded.

[@vwschock]

Still a disappointment from suzuki. I wish I had never bought my k7,. I urge people to avoid the dl1000.
