How to: clutch plates replacement rsv4

Replacing clutch plates on my 2016 Aprilia rsv4 rf Le 117/200. This is my second time replacing the clutch plates. The first time I used a Barnett clutch pack and it didn’t last long using launch control on a really hot day and not letting the bike cool in between. Now I’m replacing the plates again with a EBC clutch pack. Hopefully they last a little longer than 4,000 miles and 7 launches. Lol.
I think the outer basket ring normally has little play in it. Comment below if I’m way wrong!?

Just a helpful tip for next time, you can use some small zip ties to hold the new gasket on the cover side, then as you install and get a few bolts in just cut them free.

[@SaturdayScenicsTulsa]

I always used silicone for gaskets

[@cruxer666]

Even easier, put few bolts into the cover and place the gasket on the cover, it also makes it easier to guide the cover into the correct position with these 2-3 bolts

[@DonGH297]

You can also use a bit of grease

I've never had to replace a clutch on a bike before. Good video

[@trevormamone982]

You forgot the part where they tell you to soak your clutch plates in oil before you install. I think it’s like 30-60 mins… or something like that.

[@jeffo_511]

Ya. That should be in the instructions for the new clutch. U can see mine soaking in the video but your right, I should have said it.

[@tarikben1726]

Hi Jeff, Can you re-explain how did you remove the clutch cover, Iam having a hard time taking it out.

[@jeffo_511]

It’s pretty hard the first time. I had to use a rubber mallet to get it freed up. Then it comes off easy. Tap it all around then pull on it.

[@tarikben1726]

@@jeffo_511 hello Jeff, Thanks for the help. I was able to remove the cover. I am not sure if you have/ had experience this: I was on the track going 140 on a straight way when my gear stick on 4rd gear. I did some research and I found that a lot of people have to rebuild their gearbox. Have you done it before,? And do you know a place that sells separate gear discs

[@jeffo_511]

@@tarikben1726 never heard of that happening. The know it has a cassette gear box and super easy to change. Not sure where to get the gear from but I’m sure the entire gear box is on eBay used. Maybe with the cover off pull that cassette out and see if anything is broken

I have a question. So my 2014 rsv4 factory will happen that when the engine temperature is high and I drive it in the center of city, the engine is lack power in the first gear. When I turn the throttle, there is a little bit of power push me forward, it’s so weak! And the rpm and the speed is also very very low, which is hard to increase, but after a moment it will go powerfully. I don’t know if it is the problem of clutch plate?

[@jeffo_511]

Dang man. Sorry. Not sure what the problem could be. Doesn’t sound like clutch.

[@naveensparco]

Great work man..

[@tothcsaba2903]

Hello, I have 1 question. The sharp side of steel lamellas, in which direction does it face? (outwards or inwards towards the gearbox?)

[@jeffo_511]

Inwards if I remember correctly

hello mate, what were the grooves on the clutch bell due to? how did you solve? did you tighten everything and it didn't move anymore? even my tuono v4 1100 has that flaw

Just left it. I guess it’s normal. Road great till 33,000 miles.

Hey Jeffo, can you tell me what size is the nut that holds the clutch bell, the big one on the middle you know what i mean? Thanks bud..

[@jeffo_511]

Not sure. 31mm or 28mm maybe.

[@germ46]

Awesome, many thanks Jeffo 👍

[@kruan2661]

what is the right most gear? is it timed with other gears? I accidentally rotated crank shaft without the right most gear. There is no dot mark on the gear and I do not know if i can safely put it back

[@jeffo_511]

Ya. Not sure what to tell you. Sorry. I know some of those years don’t matter but one of them is important for timing. Not sure which one your taking about

[@kruan2661]

@@jeffo_511 just googled around and it is the motor starter gear I am talking about. It comes off with the clutch cover so I didn't pay attention to it. So it seems it is not timed with other gears?

[@sultanp8728]

what's up brother, I have a 2016 Aprilia rsv4 and the clutch slips when I accelerate suddenly, do you think it's time to replace it?

[@jeffo_511]

Check your clutch lever isn’t to tight. Should be little slop before it grabs. Other than that yes, might be time to replace.

[@calRSV4]

so Did EBC clutch still holding? My barnett clutch failed with few LC at the drag strip

[@jeffo_511]

The ebc are holding almost 7,000 miles. But haven’t done any launch control with the ebc. After burning the Barnett I stopped doing launches. Lol

[@juliencanniccioni4155]

Hey man, my clutch is slipping but before changing it I just want to make sure it’s done or nah.. the thing is that my lever start really gripping only at the very end but it also grip a little bit from the handle to the almost max.. so I can’t really adjust the cable or anything

[@jeffo_511]

Also you can adjust the rough adjustment down on the engine/clutch cover. If that doesn’t work and you have higher miles or done a lot of launch controls then probably time to replace. Def use the ebc.

[@yuehuiliang7790]

@@jeffo_511 how much launch control can you done on a set of clutch before replacing them?
