clinton588 Posted January 29, 2009 Report Posted January 29, 2009 Ok so i'm working on a bike for a friend, I pull the clutch off and there is 7 friction and 7 steel plates. 2 of the steel plates are together. Has any one heard of this. I have never seen this b4. Quote
4stroker Posted January 29, 2009 Report Posted January 29, 2009 huh? ill bet he had a hard time adjusting it! or is everything so worn he threw an extra steel in as a cheap fix? there should only be 6 steels, 7 fibres... fibres are on the ends hence less steels.. Quote
bonbon Posted January 29, 2009 Report Posted January 29, 2009 Yup, start with a fiber, end with a fiber. 7 fibers 6 steels. Quote
locogato11283 Posted January 29, 2009 Report Posted January 29, 2009 hmm, wonder what that would do to the clutch to have 2 steels together? Quote
clinton588 Posted January 29, 2009 Author Report Posted January 29, 2009 So i looked at the pressure plate and were it meets the fibers it is about a 1/32 thiner then it should be. The way I know this is because I have my banshee apart and the pressure plate is thicker at that point. The motor is from like a 92 banshee. Quote

Has any one heard of this. I have never seen this b4. this is done when you street race so you have no clutch slipage..at least thats what ive done..works great it also may be an 8 plate baskit Edited January 29, 2009 by tony cub Quote

4stroker Posted January 29, 2009 Report Posted January 29, 2009 hmm, wonder what that would do to the clutch to have 2 steels together? it wouldnt slip or anything as the steels are driven by the inner hub. it would however throw the adjustment right out, as it is effectively the same as one really thick steel. this is done when you street race so you have no clutch slipage..at least thats what ive done..works greatit also may be an 8 plate baskit the basket isnt neccesarily what defines an 8 plate set up, you need to change the inner hub and pressure plate to run 8 plates. maybe this guys bike was running some odd ball mix of clutch parts, like a stock inner hub with a 8 plate pressure plate, or vice versa, which required the extra steel to take up the slack. pretty weird though. So were should the steel plates that are together be in the basket? throw some pics up of the pressure plate and inner hub before you go any further. Quote
4stroker Posted January 29, 2009 Report Posted January 29, 2009 swap the pressure plate in from your bike and put it all back together with the extra steel taken out. see if it all adjusts up ok. Quote
