Splitting cases clutch question

[Bansh-eman]

If for some reason the basket was "Stuck" to the inner hub, the crank would turn the drive train, but you would have no clutch pull, and the clutch would be useless...when you put it in gear it would just go.

if the inner hub and basket did lock i would assume that they would remane locked together. thats the only way i see it being able to move the bike. if after you took out the plates the two should still remain stuck together. if they came apart i dont think it would work.

I would say either someone has some wires crossed or the clutch hubs are locked together. It is simply mechanically impossible that the clutch could work with 6 steels and I say this from many standpoints including lack of friction, clutch pack height, and the lack of even begin able to couple the engines power to the trans. I would say, OH YES, replace the entire clutch pack and I would even pull the basket and inspect things. Generally, when someone assembles a motor poorly, it is worth inspecting any work that was "performed."

 

You really need to look at the mechanics of that clutch but I assure you, it cannot work as stated. You WILL have a normal clutch pull if the pressure plate and springs are installed correctly, but that pressure will apply to nothing. Steel on steel would slip like crazy and overheat in 5 minutes and weld together. You simply cannot run similar metals together in a high friction situation. They will gauld. MIght want to ask the dog or the one that took it apart, where the frictions are at.

Thanks for correcting me!! Yeah, you would have clutch pull in the absence of fibers, because it is dependent upon the pressure plate moving against the springs, not the movement of the plates/fibers.

LOL! I was thinking maybe someone jumped in there and pulled a prank on him while he wasn't looking

Man these shee's just eat money!!!

 

haha welcome to the addiction.

Im still baffled.... Still dont think the bike would work at all with just the six steels in there. ::

Thats impossible. Theclutch cant work that way. It has to have the fingers around the fiber plates that go into the basket. If you only had steels the hub would just spin.
