Oh boy, just love when you can use your brain like that. I do this many times. I have made most of the tools for my Norton. All these tools are very expensive and I know exactly what you mean when you say you love it when you can build a tool yourself instead of parting with the cash. I have even found (recently) that a 5 inch clamp makes a better valve spring compressor than a purchased valve spring compressor. The purchased item did not fit and I had to return it.

I hope you're well. Excellent video. I used it to confirm my clutch plates' conditions. The quality of your video production has stood the test of time 🙂. Like another fan asked, my old clutch springs measured 35 mm, I am replacing them with new OEM springs but they measure 31 mm. I know it was a long time but wondered if you recall the spring measurements on your bike... It's confusing how the new OEM spring would be much shorter than the old springs being replaced....
@HackaweekTV7 ай бұрын
I don't recall the dimension. Your new springs are probably made better and have a higher "spring rate" which would explain why they are shorter.

I needed a pin drive for a pneumatic cylinder, so made one out of an old steel box section from a broken chair, and 2 steel pins brazed into it. Then used the same bar again as a guide tool to align a casting into a housing, just by drilling a hole and using threaded rod, with some copper water pipe to cover the threads where they run in a needle bearing, and a nylock nut on the bottom with a plate to hold it. Top has a nut to lift into alignment. A lot easier than the method of holding a 10kg casting with one hand and trying to get 3 bolts into the blind holes, all done through a small access panel at the side that barely fits an arm, complete with razor sharp edges.

Great videos. I have watched many of them for tips and info. I have to ask about the clutch release plate. They are super fragile and you spun yours down with a power driver and torqued it to 9 ft lbs and didn't break it! I carefully tightened mine down one or two turns at a time of the 4 bolts, got them all in no problem, and when torqueing to 9 ft lbs, SNAP! broken plate. I have been advised on other forums this value is too high and was changed in some service manuals to 6 ft lbs. Might save someone else a broken plate if you mention it.

Do you recommend a corrosion prevention oil for the case screws to prevent them from freezing into place? Steel screws in aluminum tend to do that. While in the Navy working on the A-4 Skyhawk (Scooter) this was required for fuselage access panel screws.

Hey Man, really love what your doing on these vids, I'm restoring a cb900 custom and really enjoy watching your extremely informative vids well done Quick question, the clutch springs that I removed needed replacing and I bought some from Sasquatch motor sports. a when I received them they spec out at 38.34mm free length where as the field manual calls for a 35.3 mm I just notice that it puts a lot more pressure on the clutch arm assembly is this going to create a problem? Kindest regards

Any ideas why my cb750 km won't move even if the clutch is pulled in? I took the clutch assembly apart and noticed the spring are 35mm long but he repair manual calls for 31mm. Could this be causing the issue? Also, when it clunks into first gear the clutch lever as nearly all the way out before it grabs. Is there to much spring tension and not allowing the friction plates to separate properly? I also measured the thickness of the plates and all are within the recommended specs. Thank you in advance. Great videos!

Bike newbie here - this is blowing my mind that the clutch discs are apparently kept surrounded by and bathed in engine oil. I would have thought, as with an automobile clutch, that those surfaces need to be kept dry. So is it engine oil, or is there a separate lubricant source? Weird.
@DeanSegovis9 жыл бұрын
Jeff Becker It's the engine oil, but when you consider the surface area of all those discs, it's as much or more than a car clutch.
@jeffbecker77039 жыл бұрын
***** OK, understood, but just trying to figure out the wet clutch thing and theory of operation. I am guessing that it has to do with so much friction surface in close proximity so the oil is for heat dissipation? If so, I just wonder how much clutch action is lost due to slippage. The clutch surface material would have to be different than on a car?
@DeanSegovis9 жыл бұрын
When the clutch is released with the engine running there's no pressure pushing the entire pack together so the fiber discs and the metal discs are slipping past each other. Without oil, they would heat up wear quickly. Automatic transmissions in cars have the same clutches inside them and they are operating in transmission oil. The design allows a large surface area of contact in a very small apace.
@jeffbecker77039 жыл бұрын
***** Thanks. I get it now. I thought it might be similar to auto transmissions which is why I originally asked you if there was a different lubricant source. Looking forward to the next video and more custom "hack" tools.
