How To - Yamaha Clutch Disassembly and Inspection

Awesome Video. Simple process, but it's nice to see someone else actually taking it apart.

[@UncleMattsGarage]

@@ethanwatters8704 Appreciate that, bummed I lost the video for the second part, but there will be many more to come

[@peterallen2043]

Great video…always wondered what was happening behind that cover lol

[@UncleMattsGarage]

There’s a few things going on lol

My rubber seal cracked apart when i took mine off. Added to the list of things to be bought

[@UncleMattsGarage]

It’s always good to replace those when things come apart

I just changed my oil in a 450 Grizzly. I took it out for a 1/4 mile ride. I then realized I used auto synthetic. What should I do now? Can I just change the oil with Yamalube, or do I need to flush it.

[@UncleMattsGarage]

You should be fine if you just change the oil with Yamalube.

What happened to the part 2? This was excellent. Would love to watch some more like this

[@UncleMattsGarage]

The learning curve of filming bit me. I didn't have to footage backed up and lost all the part 2 footage. I upgraded on my filming and editing stuff, so hopefully that doesn't happen again. There are many more to come , Im learning how to do the editing with my buddy to streamline the projects I do, so stick round and hopefully you enjoy. Cheers

@@UncleMattsGarage ha that sounds awesome but honestly just your iPhone mounted over your shoulder as you work would be great. They even have a lapel mic that is wireless for your phone so the sound quality is there. I discovered for my business that I wasted 5k in cameras and lights because I couldn’t just pump out content. Got an I phone and a $50 mic like I mentioned. Game changer. Now I’m actually getting content out there and keeping it fresh and easy. Just a suggestion. Your skill level with the bike is outstanding as well as your demeanor btw. 👍🏻

@@jasonthegreat5215 I just upgraded from the iPhone 11 to the 15 pro max and got the new iPad for those reasons. Got a terabyte on the phone and two terabyte for the iPad and bought Final Cut Pro for the iPad and now I’m using air drop from the phone to the iPad. My iPhone 11 was what I was doing filming on in conjunction with my go pro. So between the GoPro app with the cloud that I can dump large files into the iPad and the phone airdropping, it’s definitely getting more streamline. Final Cut Pro is amazing but it’s quite a bit to learn. We are currently editing the next long form video and learning FCP , so I think once I get into the rhythm , I can do more recording. I’m flooded with work that I would like to translate into content . I appreciate the advice and compliment, and I’m gonna keep grinding to make each video better then the last.

[@jasonthegreat5215]

Hell yeah man glad you got some more videos coming. I did have a quick question for you. I thought you mentioned it in the video but I can’t find it. I know you torque down the bolts but do you add any loctite to the bolts?

[@UncleMattsGarage]

@@jasonthegreat5215 I don’t loctite the clutch plate bolts , I just torque them to spec and I have never had an issue

Why do the screws keep breaking off when I tighten them down? The screws with the springs underneath them. They didn't break on the other ttr230 that I replaced the clutch on . These screws are very fragile. Thankfully, I was able to remove the broken screws from the basket.

[@UncleMattsGarage]

What brand and type torque wrench are you using ? Those screws are definitely fragile. I'm using a snap on torque wrench that i have calibrated once a year and handle it very delicately in the garage. It is super important to have a good quality torque wrench. Also, the manual has those getting torqued in inch pounds and ***not*** foot pounds. if you have a foot pound torque wrench instead of inch pounds, that would explain them breaking

[@JP-db2sx]

Thank you Matt.

[@TheShaggyfrog]

@@UncleMattsGarage what is the torque the manual shows for those 4 bolts? If I'm looking at the right part of my manual it appears to be 4.3 ft lb. Is that accurate?

[@UncleMattsGarage]

@@TheShaggyfrog That is correct. I found that on page 4-65 of the Yamaha service manual

[@TheShaggyfrog]

@@UncleMattsGarage thanks. Your video helped a lot. Was able to get my 230 back moving again 👍

[@joshsorensen8491]

Surprised they don't have a tusk clutch kit

[@UncleMattsGarage]

I looked everywhere, might be because of it not being a super popular bike
