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.

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.

@clivewilliams1406 5 жыл бұрын

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.

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: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l818lJNyna2llpc.html

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

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!

Really enjoying your videos, I like the clean methodical approach you take , I am very much the same , I hate these videos where people take things apart in poor conditions with tools everywhere.. Nice clear explanation too..
