HOW TO REPLACE YOUR OWN CLUTCH ON KAWASAKI ZX14R

[@yetrotagabundok3756]

So THAT'S what the clutch looks like inside...! LOL! Not a mechanic here... just a tinkerer. But, THANK YOU for showing and explaining what we're looking at. Great video!

[@schzx14]

I didn’t know you had your own channel and kudos for still getting your hands dirty at your level!

[@rickeygadson6095]

Thanks bro

[@Da-wooley18]

One of the best clutch videos on KZbin by far Thanks for your time

[@rickeygadson6095]

👍👍

[@Blo7247]

I appreciate you sharing your knowledge. I put three clutches in my zx14r and I never knew some of the tips you shared. You will always be the GOAT to me. Thank you

[@XCRiders]

Thanks for sharing Ricky !! great video The object of a how to video is to get someone (me) who doesn’t understand , clear on the subject matter, and you do very well at that!

[@TheShotokan6]

You best statement: "if you cross thread it, it's gonna be a long day!!"

[@rickeygadson6095]

Why, you did that??

[@muhammadsteinberg]

OUTSTANDING!!!...Thanks Rickey!... This is definitely PLATINUM information!

[@victorfred1992]

Love the tips n tricks. Very helpful in knowing that you can open the oil fill port and see the wear progression! Excellent content!

[@Mastershake59982]

Just bought a ZX14 last night and this video was just what I was looking for. Thanks for making it. You're very awesome.

[@jaiera8548]

Rickey!!! i have a Zx14r 2014 and ive noticed my busa killer is slipping, first time experiencing this. Thanks for this info.

[@Mcv2023]

Yes, Ricky seems to be very helpful. I need to put a crutch on my ZG 14 Concours Thanks.

[@MartinMcMartin]

We want to watch whatever you want to put up, it's always good to see what you up to.

[@innocuousmerchant8766]

great video! clutch just went on my 2011 and I've barely even got my licence, so I'm trying to see what I'm either going to be doing or at least buying the parts for. have an awesome day.

[@undecodable6145]

I liked what I saw in the video because it was very constructive and easy to understand where you went step by step clearly and I would like to see electric stuff since I almost have zero understanding at that domain. Thanks bro

[@gil9132]

Awesome video, I learned a lot from that one. Would love to see videos of all the things you mentioned. Maybe even simple things like chain tension, or simply adjusting a bike so it's comfortable for the individual rider. I also wouldn't mind learning more about the tuning air:fuel ratio. Thanks for your videos, can't wait for the big race.

[@ThomasShue]

Thanks Rickey! I would of loved to see you show how to adjust the hydro clutch/lever so you have the proper free play and proper disengagement

[@GuruBikerTrash]

Great vid! Thanks for the info! Just got done doing a clutch on my "76 Yamaha XS650, was pretty easy! Now, this next month I gotta do the clutch on my "82 Honda CB 650 Nighthawk, it's got those rings in it just like your ZX-14, now I know how they go! Thanks again! God Bless! Stay Healthy!

[@richiev63]

Great video, thank you. I'll be inspecting and likely replacing mine soon enough. I'd like to see a thermostat replacement. From what the service manual says it's a real pain. I'm guessing you'd have a simpler method.

[@eltonharris4502]

Man you helped me out alot. I have a 09 Zx14 with 23k on it. I want to do a brocks clutch mod or a lockup. I feel my clutch needs replacing because I bought the bike used and I went through it maintenance wise, but didn't do clutch. Cause I messed up my Suzuki m109R clutch trying to install a aftermarket one with more fibers. Had to take it to a shop. But your video got my confidence back.

[@jameslowe1355]

Thanks ur a really good instructor.

[@rickeygadson6095]

Thanks boss!

[@javianyoung9059]

Thanks for the video I just got a complete clutch basket for my 2006 zx14 and the clutches where worse than the ones I had so I had to swap out the clutches and didn't know where the chatter rings went back in thanks

[@j9506]

I just ordered new oem clutch and brocks heavy duty springs for the zx14r this video helps thank you!

[@yippinyahoiionetnnedrager3398]

Nice. Thanks for showing. Was that that old 95 zx6r in the back round. Goooooo 62 bike. God bless America.

[@johnbladen4931]

Thank You Rickey, for this info and details. Regards JB

[@alanhassall]

I saw your video and checked my Concours 14. The clutch cover is similar and my clutch is worn out. I tour on it so I hadn’t noticed any clutch slippage, but I had noticed that it engaged all the way out at the end of travel. Although there are some differences, your video will be very helpful when I replace it.

[@EduardoGonzalez-lw7wi]

Great video. Could you make one on how to bleed/replace the master cylinder. I understand that in order to know if you have a bad master cylinder, if your clutch isn't having any pressure, is to see if the slave in is leaking. If that one isn't leaking, then you need to bleed/ replace the master. I'd like to know how, please

[@theozman38]

I own a z1000 2010. I have new fiber plates to install. This video was absolutely helpful. Maybe a performance mods on a z1000?? That would be a nice update for me at least. Thanks Ricky

[@victoroneill4381]

Thanks clear and easy to follow,cheers

[@greenman4141]

HI RICKY, noticed you put the last fibre plate in the same row as the rest of the plates , but in another youtube video he puts in the next gap, brocks video ,which is right as I have pulled the clutch apart for the oil pump mod , , , can you pull the bottom very low fairing off leaving the side fairing still attached just to get at the clutch , thanks Ronn ,from across the pond in the UK , LOVE THE VIDEOS .

[@kurtfranke1551]

Hell yes Rickey. Great video!!

[@thorissr]

Excellent tutorial! Subscribed!

[@Dunetigger]

Nice instruction and knowledge. i assume this is the same for my ZG14. thx.

[@richardstoffel6585]

This is awesome I’m about to go in for this myself. What are your thoughts on the oil pump plate / pressure relieve valve / gear to increase oil pressure ?

[@MrFDS-nj1gu]

Ricky aye I appreciate this one definitely helpful. Thank you

[@mrmuncheez374]

Great video, very detailed and informative.👍

[@brittladaris7982]

DEFINITELY appreciate the video. Just saved me $375. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@anthonysmith7214]

Great work,,, I won't use drill lol,,,,zzr1400 2011? Do brocks have upgrade kit,,,l only seem to find 2012 gens upwards. I'm fitting quickshifter and want clutch done at same time,

[@MrPsiclone666]

I learnt a lot thank you great video

[@tomdavidson4766]

Great classroom teaching for a new be to the sport of bike drag racing. One question. My bike has been chattering and locking up on launches. I was told to replace my clutch? 30k on original clutch. Is this Correct? According to guys I talked to at track last night? Thank you.

[@sonnybass9376]

Great video man!

[@garyb931]

Awesome Ricky.

[@MrFDS-nj1gu]

Thanks for the tip brother

[@shmedwinardo]

Any idea if this same concept will work for a 96 zx11? Great video! 😎👍

[@JRotten]

Clutch work on zx1000 please. The maybe the advantage of a two step box, and auto shift set up. I hand launch, and run manual air shifter

[@joeljohnson3676]

Learned quite a bit more! Thanks! Question...l know almost all bikes these days are fuel injected. I have an 04 zzr1200. Well aware this bike is an old dinosaur! Lol! I'm wondering if the factory 1/4 mile times of 10.1-10.2 @130+ can be improved on? I just like the underdog stuff. The only reason I haven't sold it is it's a good solid comfortable bike that can hold it's own.

[@rochetmichel7155]

BONJOUR petite question quelle est la différance niveau embrayage d'avoir changé le système en croix part la rondelle plus épaisse brocks et pour quelle raison

[@lowkeywilson6153]

Thanks that was so helpful job 👍

[@quickfc7]

Can you do a video like this for the zx10r

[@neilwalker8686]

The steels where a solid hot spot lol.

[@twowheelsforlife066]

Hello Sir, I have a question about whats the pros and cons changing the front and rear sprockets,and how it effects power to ground ?

[@aznbcu2006]

Great video

[@javiercarrion6843]

Good insight for sure.

[@johndelepine4856]

Thank You Good Sir. I have a 2014 ZX14R and it will not go over 4500rpm's. Any suggestions why. I have 35K miles. Appreciate any help.

[@claudehawkins4229]

Best sprocket set up for zx14r im wanting to put new front and back sprocket on my 2016 zx14r I have a 12in over evil swingarm but before I put the swingarm on i want to do the sprockets too and I'm a 218lb rider.

[@kentuckynightrider725]

Hey Rickey Gadson I’m having clutch problems with my 2000 zx12r. I put heavy duty clutch springs in and about middle of the clutch it had just one flat jetter spring. So I put in the kinda curved one. But now my shifter will not return on its own. I’ve tried taking them out also and it still doesn’t work. Had no problems with it before I messed with the jetter springs.

[@choo03]

Hello Ricky G Thanks for the tutorial on the clutch. I have chatter on my gen II busa . Will the Brock s clutch mod work on Suzuki’s too?

[@brucegentry9408]

Hi Mr Gadson I have a 2015 zx10r and I am putting extension blocks on it so what I would like to know is can you pull the wheel sensor out to reach the wheel or do I need to buy a longer speed sensor cable that will reach the rear wheel or would you do a video on doing that thanks. And I hope you trash chris moore on the 15th shut him up please.

[@rockracing325]

not sure about steels position ,thought round side in but not sure know?,and thought you were suppose to draw in spring bolts a little at a time not drive in all at once?

[@gixxerboyroyluvdrumswaters9023]

Very helpful.

[@LBMsr20ve]

How about setting up a snowflake lockup on a zx14

[@alanhassall]

I have a Concours 14 which is similar to the ZX14 and the clutch engagement is very narrow and far from the grip. I only noticed after riding my other bikes with broader engagement. I have a feeling that I will be doing this soon. Do you use the stock friction discs or do you like someone else? My Concours doesn't see the type of use that your ZX14 does. I never thought about looking at the clutch through the oil fill. That is a great idea.

[@danboehm5315]

Thanks for the video

[@detrickwoolard5159]

Will you do a video on spark plug removal please sir

Nice one Rickey, just around the world from Germany to you. My zx14r seems to need some more treatment if I look down to your video :-) Thank you for explaining. If got 206 to the wheel and enjoy this beast more and more. What kind of oil do you recommend for it and what kind of sparc plugs? Have a nice day...

good afternoon ricky, you're shooting cool videos, I have a question, I have a zx14 2016,I don't participate in drag races, I ride to my satisfaction, but I have a problem, with dynamic acceleration in 5-6 gear with 8000 rpm, the clutch starts to slip, what could be the problem?please tell me if you have encountered this . Thank you 👍

Hey Ricky just changed the clutch kit on my 2022 zx14r, iam redlining in every gear. I guess the clutch is slipping? I took off the cover and checked the disc order again and its still giving me the same problem. Any ideas please brother?

[@rickeygadson6095]

Check your stack height again. Look at my video in clutch install on KZbin to see how to check it visually. Sound like stack height is off or you turned one of the last fibers and it won’t let the clutch seat.

[@turkerates84]

Gotcha, thank you so much for responding brother. I think i forgot to offset the last fiber. Im gonna try again and see what happens. 👍👍

[@rochetmichel7155]

dommage on a pas de réponse a not questions

[@wolfcalibur]

you didn't offset the last fibre!

[@Dominick5266]

Ricky why you tell the people to run the clutch like that you.know the rings go first look at the factory schematic

[@rickeygadson6095]

Cause that’s how I run mine.

[@rickeygadson6095]

And the rings Do NOT go in first. The rings go in 3rd after the small fiber which is 2nd fiber to go in.

[@Dominick5266]

It may work for you but the manual says rings first sorry didn't mean to offend.

[@rickeygadson6095]

I’m not sure what manual your looking at but rings never go in first. A fiber always goes in first.

[@marksullivan3520]

@@rickeygadson6095 Hi Ricky! I think the other guy may be looking at the parts diagram which shows it first with the skinny fiber. I just took mine out and that was how it was as well. Brocks viep shows the washer coming out last as well. Your way makes more sense to me but I am not for sure how the jutter spring works.
