Thank you for being the first person to ever successfully explain to me how a multi plate clutch actually works! Great video. Thank you.

Changed so many clutch's over the years but never though of making a dowel from a bolt to Aline the cover,That right there is a life lesson i will surely use in the future , Thank for that Del

[@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

[@moehamp5477]

You are a legend mate I would never have attempted changing the clutch before watching this video it was so precise on a step by step which helps all us untrained bike owners thanks again del 5* mate

[@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]

[@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

[@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.

I've had the parts to change my clutch for a few months but I've been putting it off - now I've seen this video I'm ready to go! Thanks for making it - you're a top tutor!

Thanks Adam, that's very kind of you, glad to hear the video could hep you out, always happy to lend a hand if you stuck mate, 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.

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

[@Moonfleet41]

Welcome aboard, thanks for your your support!

[@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.

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 !
