Doppler Clutch Pulley Maintenance

[@peterturenne6582]

I am about to get a clutch pulley and clutchless er3. I was wondering what thrust bearing it was you used? That is a great idea to reduce drag.

Love the video, I was curious where you got your higher tension springs and on a side note my nooby knowledge is confused about the difference between a 1 way bearing and whatever other options are out there. Thanks again Victor, you the man, your knowledge helps so many of us!

+Garrett Bell They are Doppler scooter springs, though I'm not sure which ones they are (they were a gift). The one way bearing means the pulley spins freely in one direction on the pulley sprocket shaft (not the 16mm shaft the pulley slots into). I believe if you spin it clockwise, it will move freely, if you spin it counterclock wise, it moves the sprocket shaft (hence moving the chain) because the one way bearing is now locked. The advantage is you can push the bike to start it, granted you have a belt attached. You also get engine braking with a one way bearing. The two way bearing works like a normal bearing. You'll have to start the bike via the engine directly since the pulley bearing can't lock up and turn the engine via the pulley. You don't have engine braking anymore with a two way bearing AFTER your pads disengage from the clutch bell. Sorry, it's a big hard to explain in words...

Brilliant video, I got a Giraudo pulley but it seems that my sprocket shaft is ceased..any ideas how to get it out to change the bearing inside?

Thanks, dude. Yea you should heat up the outside where the bearings sit and press them out. The heat might be enough that it just falls out.

Awesome video! I was wondering how hard is it to press in the bearing
