[@thomaswarren2699]

Fantastic! Very informative. It's always reassuring to hear things like "be very careful to.." or "make sure you don't.." It means you have the experience to know how to do it wrong, and make sure nobody else does. Top man

[@gb92104]

I've watched a bunch of different videos about this clutch job. You are the first to tell of the importance of inspecting the basket for wear. I wouldn't have thought of that. You're a font of knowledge in all your videos. Not just telling your viewers what to do, but why. Thanks for all the help, Delboy!

[@Moonfleet41]

You are welcome, glad you enjoy the videos.

[@alecstahl2387]

Mr. Delroy. I´ve followed your channel for years and I cannot tell you how thankful I am. In fact, you taught me to also share my knowledge (investments) for free but I am not going to do any advertisement. The reason of my message is to let you know that this weekend I will attempt to change the clutch on my Kawasaki Zephyr 550B. I had a slippery clutch so I just bought what I needed online. I am not sure if I will succeded, but if I do I would like to dedicate my repair to you, good sir. I will follow your instructions and I am confident I will make it happen. Thanks once again and I hope you keep providing great videos.

[@Moonfleet41]

Thank you so much for your kind feedback Alec, it's good to hear that the videos can inspire you to get involved in your maintenance, im sure you'll make a perfectly good job of it, take your time and enjoy each step, it should be an adventure, not a chore. Have fun and good luck.. Del.

[@johnhowells-vaughan5519]

Watched your video about changing brake pads after having a dream of a mate telling me they need changing. Checked the rear pads, they have about 4mm left so put them back. But the front pads were well worn down to less than 1mm, so they were changed, easy enough once figured out there were two clips holding the pins in. Thanks alot

You, my friend are an excellent mechanic, clean, careful and accurate. I’m very old now and gave away my 82 Katana 1000cc with 25 thousand miles. Had it for 40 years, I’m 79 now and my days are over but I still love learning from people like you. Cheers, from Costa Rica.

[@davespragg4570]

Great video clear and concise . Goes over all the important bits you need to look out for.. The bit about using a bolt cut off for alignment is a method I've always used particularly when assembling a split engine case it's so easy to knock something out of place if you don't use guide dowels .I've used bright bar and threaded it in several lengths and sizes m6 , m8 etc. His work method is the same that way that I go about a job. On a bike and even my own you have to do it RIGHT no half measures . I don't do half jobs and this guy does the same . All clear instructions that are easily understood for those that are not sure. One important tool for use on any bike is the torque wrench . Buy a good one I have a 1/2 " and 3/8" plus reducing adaptors to 1/4" . It's too easy to over tightened bolts in an all aluminium engine cases. The gasket method fitting is domething I always advocate doing , trying to get bits of old gasket off an engine in the bike is a no no from me. Look forward to any new videos I enjoy watching a master class that's good for the novices to learn from doing their own maintenance and getting it right.

[@MrJules8888]

No manufacturer pre-oils clutch plates! Pull in clutch lever, plates get covered in oil ….and on and on. Love your videos. Thanks.

[@americanotakuinc.9637]

Del, in my experience I’ve always primed the oil filter by filling it halfway up with the fresh oil that way it’s not dry when it first throws oil through it. A lot of my teachers said to do that otherwise it can mess up the oil filter initially. Not sure if it’s 100% true, but I always figured it couldn’t hurt. Plus when a bunch of old heads who have been wrenching on bikes for 20-30+ years say to do something it’s generally a good idea to listen to them. Also pro tip: cover the pipes in aluminum foil when your taking off an oil filter so that way you don’t have to wipe off oil later on and have smoke pouring off hot pipes.

[@Moonfleet41]

I think certainly with any filter that is undermounted, I fill it before I screw it in, but any side mounted filter, even half full, just pours out before you can screw it all the way in, and you end up with oil everywhere! ...Plus, of course, in a tight spot like this behind the pipes, you can never get in screwed on quick enough to prevent it spilling... depends on the application mate aye?! Have a great weekend...!

[@gingamaximus]

[@svan724]

I wish you had this video a year ago when I was rebuilding my clutch on my Honda. Excellent job description, very thurow.

[@clivewilliams1406]

Very informative and it made the whole process less daunting for the novice. As regards the oil filter, I always fill the filters with fresh oil before spinning it on as it means that the bearings get the oil sooner than waiting for the pump to fill the filter and I always spin the motor up with new oil without the plugs in to generate oil pressure with the minimum load . Being a horizontal filter is no problem as the internal valves prevent the oil draining out. Also, chrome filters are a bad deal and only bearable for bling motors where the filter is exposed. The chrome finish does not allow for the heat to escape and indeed it can absorb heat, which on your bike has the exhaust and the rad immediately infront of the filter with any inlet air being ducted through those hot parts onto the filter. There is a very good reason why the OE part is black and that is to get rid of the heat.

[@alangrant5278]

[@Moonfleet41]

Good to hear it, and wow that's some impressive mileage, good luck!

[@PhilOsGarage]

Good tip about the manual, there are occasionally some things which can catch out even experienced mechanics. Prime example, FZR clutches need the pressure plate fitting in a particular orientation (dot on the plate aligns with a triangle on the basket, and unusually there is a specific way around for the steels to go, rounded face inwards, sharp edge outwards. I've not seen that on any other clutch, but ignore either point and the clutch will slip.

[@MegaYosarian]

[@prostreetgsxr]

After dragracing Suzuki’s for the last 28 years I can tell you the OEM clutch plates are the best. I have installed a lot of clutch plates over the years. OEM clutch plates and heavy duty springs works great. And if you’re not a drag racer you can buy a pack of heavy duty springs and only put in three of the six (every other one) spacing them out of course. That will give you extra tension on your clutches without being so hard to pull in at the red lights.

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks buddy for those great tips and advice, I'm currently contemplating the time honoured clutch mod for my Hayabusa, sick of it chattering and lurching off launch, tossing up between the spacer ring and buying a billet clutch slipper... not so sure about welding it, the consequences of it breaking up, or failing, are pretty severe but I will certainly stick 3 extra strong springs in for sure at the same time!

[@prostreetgsxr]

Delboy's Garage you are welcome! If you like to drag race a little bit the clutch mod is a must. I have done it on all three of my Hayabusa’s. Two of mine were welded but the last one I did the billet.

[@thedaydreamer7972]

I have an Intruder VS1400, this bike is known from the factory to have weak clutch springs, Its my understanding Suzuki did this on purpose in a sense to protect the "usual" rider from its low end torque and allow the clutch to slip a bit, however, there are a couple individuals that manufacturer high end springs for this bike, I just installed a set, changed the bike, smoother, no slip, all power to the wheel, I guess when Im not riding, Im workking on bikes, when im not working, IM watching videos, you have a superb channel and I have always had a connection with Brits, peace from across the pond

[@Moonfleet41]

Thank you for your kind words, am glad you like the Channel...and for what it's worth, I can't imagine tha Suzuki would have put a weak clutch in to protect the rider by making it slip, it would be far more likely they just cheaped out and fitted the minimum to keep the profits up! Either way, it is a common issue and a great upgrade, good call!

[@thedaydreamer7972]

@@Moonfleet41 Haha, yea, Thats the nonsense I have heard so I dont take it too seriously, it would make sense that the springs are of lower quality OEM, are you familiar with the VS1400? Its a strange bike to tune with its dual carb setup and tolerances, I have had mine on the lift for a few days with all types of upgrades, its been well worth it as this 24yr old bike runs like a dream, Cobra drags with BCT baffles, dyna ignition, stage one FP jets and needles, caliper rebuilds and new pads. once you get this bike right its amazing

[@grosbeakmc]

Another great video and congratulations to you both. Always a pleasure to watch, and Del, you have the gift of explaining things in a simple way without talking down to your audience. I have replaced clutches on both cars and bikes and would prefer to do the job on a bike any day! I know this is a motorbike channel, but I thought I would mention that your gradual star pattern tightening of the clutch springs is also applicable to lug nuts on the wheels of cars, trucks, trailers, etc. When I was in my teens my Dad taught me how to torque wheel lug nuts properly. He learned himself at a young age from a heavy equipment mechanic, who explained that fasteners torqued in this way can be relied upon not to loosen... especially useful when those fasteners are difficult to access. Typically after hand tightening lug nuts I will lower the wheel to the ground, then tighten all of the nuts in a star pattern to 1/3 of the torque spec. Repeat the process at 2/3 of the spec and again at 100%. Nowadays it's common for car and RV repair shops to warn you to check lug nut torque after driving for a short amount. With this method, that's not necessary; I've done spot checks and have never found a loose lug nut. I also like the tip for headless bolts as dowels - very clever! FYI a good video on how a motorcycle clutch works: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5ivkmN3bax0nMU

[@Moonfleet41]

Hi John, you're absolutely right, back in the mid-80's I trained as a bus fitter, so that information is bang on correct... the standard practice these days, after torquing in increments as you explain, is to torque check again after 24hrs... and at the company I currently work for, it's actually a legal requirement, the vehicle can't go on the road until it's been done. Great to see that old traditions never change, means they must be right aye... Thanks for sharing your insight, keep in touch, all the best, Del

[@andyvan5692]

Just replaced the steels and friction plates on my 2019 XT250; did you know that two of the six friction plates are 'heavy duty' and have to be positioned in the middle of the pack ?. AND I uncovered a big discussion as to which way the steel plates should be orientated- ie smooth side in or out... as long as they are all the same it seems it is probably OK but there are two tribes on this issue !

[@garethburningham9467]

I've actually found jobs like this are counter productive, you never really sure a problem like this, cos if you opent he clutch and find skid marks, cure the clutch, then take the bike out, load the throttle and flip the clutch, you will immediately find the skid marks transfer to the other place lol

[@amisfitpuivk]

Perfect video. I think I picked quite literally the worst bike to learn wheelies on for a healthy clutch, a ZX4RR. Half the torque of a 6R/7R and has to rev twice as high to lift the wheel. If I don't commit and get a good bite with the wheel up high, the weight of the bike makes the friction plates slip. And here I am doing RnD haha. I'll definitely look for stiffer springs when the times comes to do this

EXCELLENT video! I’m about to do my first clutch pack replacement on my ‘22 ZX10R and this info is gold. Thank you!

[@Moonfleet41]

Glad it helped!

[@davidferrari4917]

Great video. No bs and very informative. You really know your stuff. Thanks

[@thewilky3030]

Thanks for the great vid , I also have a ZX7R and have found your fighter uploads enormously helpful in doing jobs on my bike I wouldn't have had a clue otherwise. Next job over winter that needs doing funnily enough is my clutch lol which started slipping under load this summer. Now, thanks to your video I have a clear understanding of the job which doesn't look difficult now.

[@Moonfleet41]

Hi Stuart, my word, that's appropriate, couldn't have worked better aye?! Good luck with yours, as you can see, it's a simple enough job, make a choice whether you want to invest in the steel plates as well, think they're about £7.50 each, so another £40ish on the bill, or you could check the old ones and see how they are... but you'll love the feel of the clutch with the uprated springs, much beefier! Good luck with it, Del

[@thewilky3030]

@@Moonfleet41 my bike is a keeper so I'll probably do the steels as well, thanks for your reply, looking forward to many more videos from you. Thanks again Del

[@iandouglas451]

[@Moonfleet41]

Glad you like them!

[@Moonfleet41]

Hi Paul, great to hear from you! Getting a little colder here now, sleet and 4degrees today, that was a shock to the system lol... have a safe week yourself, D&Px

[@chriscargle7645]

Absolutely brilliant explanation about a quick clutch change. I’m actually looking forward to changing mine now..ha. 👍🏽

[@Moonfleet41]

Glad it was helpful Sir, appreciate you taking the time to get in touch!

[@karlhalsey5850]

Thank you for the small tips while doing this job!! You've just helped a fellow rider save some change, about to do a rebuild on my 97 Kaw 900r! Good job and Ride Safe Bro!! ✌🏾

[@Moonfleet41]

No problem 👍, you're most welcome, and thank you for the feedback.

[@andymoore5476]

Another great video. Really clear instructions as usual. Keep them coming!

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks Andy!

[@davejohnson2051]

Great job Del, ive always feared messing with the clutch as i thought it would be a massive complicated job,.it looks pretty easy, Thank you for making it look so easy

[@Moonfleet41]

Hi Dave, it was pretty simple as it was the first level of getting involved with your clutch, it's a lot more complicated to stript the entire unit right back tot he bare shaft, but you don't need to do this, unless you've got far bigger problems, this is really just the consumables check, the bits that wear out, like the friction plates and the springs, a bit similar to changing brake pads in the calipers, rather than stripping the whole caliper down... it's how we learn aye mate, a little at a time!

[@kevinharhat2687]

Very nicely done your hands on videos are easy to understand and put into practice

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks Kevin, am glad you enjoy them!

[@thefleaflop]

Nice, Nice Job mate!.... a pleasure watching you work. Also, some great tips. I would have never considered using grease on the engine side of the gasket, but totally makes sense and will try it next go round.... thanks for sharing your time and experience!

[@timothykelley4495]

Excellent video. Informative, knowledgeable, well said. My hat off to you!

[@Moonfleet41]

Thanks Timothy, much appreciated!

[@davespragg4570]

I like this guy because he uses the same techniques as I would do the job. I've just watched a video which was silent with no instructions what so ever and made a series of errors during the clutch replacement. If you want to see a job done correctly check out Del boys worksop, great work ethics the way it should be very concise instructions which anyone with a modicum of engineering know how can follow. Fully recommend his video's
