So when people say their "clutch blew up"...THIS is what happens internally. SUPPORT the builds we do here and WIN the motorcycles by SIGNING UP HERE: bit.ly/WBRGpatreon

I really appreciate you going back to making long videos like this for youtube!

Glad To Say, this is the best part of the whole series....i love engines, I totally love to learn more about them, this is like a candy for a 25 yr old🤓

Brian is the greatest teacher we've had

"How was this bike even running?" Well its pretty simple, its a honda baby.

Absolutely an awesome vid, Chase! Love when Brian digs in and 'schools' us!! I love this stuff!! Thank you, BRAIN!!!

Super happy you went back to the old format. This kind of detail is what brought me to your chanel. Thanks!!

23:33 The washer is a spacer to stop the bolt hitting the piston 🤣 I nearly wet myself. That's the cam chain tunnel and the washer is there so it doesn't leak oil. It's not a blind hole, meaning its open to the internals of the engine.

I've never watched anything on this channel, never heard anything about this video series, but I absolutely LOVED watching this teardown and I will anxiously waiting for the next series. Brian is very clear and concise in his explanations, which was AWESOME! I'd love to see him tear down a shaftdrive bike with a single dry clutch, much like a Moto Guzzi something. His knowledge and understanding, along with his ability to explain things is just fantastic.

The amount of knowledge Brian has is astonishing! Thanks for taking the time to share and explain it to us 😍

Thank you Chase, I sorely missed these full-length WBR episodes. Thank you for bringing them back!

Long video content is why I come to your channel. Don't stop!

Absolutely great video. I recently did a complete rebuild on cbr1000 RR 2013 with previous experience. The bike has about 1000 1500 mile after the build. Videos like this help all of us diy guys just. Great thanks to all of you.

Probably one of the best episodes so far

Thank you Chase!!! You have my absolute gratitude for bringing back the long videos on youtube!!! I've been with you on this channel a long time and I've followed every single episode of WBR and WBRG!!! I'm in India and this is always the best end to my day!!! Please do more bike reviews!!! Kawasaki Z900 please!!!

That's some seriously damaged clutch. Love those detail Videos. Every one of them should last at least an hour. Learning about motorcycles. And technical terms in a different language ( Shoutouts from Germany). ;)

Learning a lot, thanks Brian and Chase. Stuff like this is hard to find on youtube.

Funny enough, My 1984 Honda Sabre was stalling when I put it into gear. Turns out the clutch plates were stuck together, im greatful that it wasnt exploded on my bike lmao.

Love how Brian is so eager to find what happened

Damn Brian is a bad ass tech. Best explanation, that dude is a bad ass teacher. Thank you for this vid!

Awesome to see the full episodes back on YT, this was awesome! cheers

Brian is a surgeon 👨‍⚕️ opening up these engines.

Really nice episode! Really glad this episode was a bit longer showing some more info and steps

Bahahaha something dumb I said made it into a video. "...turn into a spare change jar." Sorry guys.....kinda. lol

Great episode!! Best hour of wrenching I have seen so far on the tube.

This was one of the better uploads from Chase I've seen in a while. I liked the length and pacing more than the other vids which aren't flattering to Brian's knowledge level. Editor: You missed an expletive, not sure if it matters though for the algorithms etc though ?

Goodness that was awesome. I learned so much. Way better than going to college. Thanks Brian, Chase and crew.

Thank you for a full detailed episode.

Great episode - love the detail and clear footage

Learned a lot, thank you Brian. I had a few Aha! moments as well.

Another absolutely brilliant video, I learn a lot from these. Thanks for doing them!!

Finally catching up on WBRB and this is amazing. Love ya Chase, but Brian is the MAN!!!

"Not an ice cream sandwich" 🤣🤣

Quality, good content, knowledge What else to ask more

Time to put in a STM slipper clutch!

This Video was sooo informative! I swear. Totally worth the 1hr

Love the builds and great videos, Brian is a great mechanic and teacher. He does and awesome job. With that ive got to call him out here.... and I say this with love haha that washer is there as a spacer yes and that arrow yes is there to show you where it goes but with out it, it would never touch the piston it may drive into the cylinder wall and could definitely cause catastrophic faulier but even if jt was long enough you wouldn't be able to drive it through the cylinder wall. Brian knows that for sure and I totally get what he was stressing the fact so hard about, great work fellas you guys are an awesome team I look forward to more videos

Look who’s back!

Great video. I feel like I learned a lot and was entertained along the way.

Cool, what a very good explenation of everything you are doing. I loved this video. Really usefull! Thanks for sharing.

This video was like history class where only the teacher is the one putting in all the efforts, but the students are only pretending to listening. But that's exactly a class where i would love to sit

Really love this episode thank you for making this a long one to really dive into the engine tear down. I hope its just a loose piece of hardware in the generator side just wobbling about.

So sick of youtube not notifying me only 3 days late to watch this

Brian’s the man!!!

Can’t wait until next time. Love the videos.

Brian is a beast! You've definitely earnt my sub

Bryan your awesome .. Too smart my man .. I like how you show us how things work ...

had a same 08 fireblade before, i remember once i was shifting from 5th to 6th and got false neutral(which is common on cbr and cb1000r). then i got it into gear again engine had similar noise. i guess could be the same problem inside but i didn't look into that. not long after that i traded that fireblade for a new R1 lol

I have an 08 I rebuilt. I found the same thing when I went to change the clutch after purchasing it. 2 friction discs completely shattered like you foundthere. Also there is a TSB on the 08 clutch. They issued a recall and have an updated part for 09 onward that you are supposed to replace it with.

Ive been watching this channel since chase had an sv650

My money is it’s not the cam chain tensioner but I think it might be a spun rod bearing with the oil starvation issue

OC !! Good stuff brothers.

Llllllllloved this video, feel ur pain, but loved the details u put in, thank you guys

Hi it’s really interesting to watch I bet it’s a rod nock on that engine grate video all way great to watch

Do you guys have a video on putting the clutches back together and what order it goes for all the rings

Did you post a link to the 300, and I just don't see it?

The (southern) technical term for that clutch is "blowed slap up". I saw worse, once. Back when I was young and the dinosaurs had just died off, a magazine was doing a huge 1/4 mile review of all the big pavement chewers.(Think the then new V-Max) and they had a hired gun drag racer to eliminate as many variables with timing and launches. But after an entire day of launching those beasts over and over, one of the clutches let go. Plates everywhere, hell of a mess. When I saw the plates fall out I was like "that's it boys, no two pieces of this engine are going to be together before this over".

Sweet lord am I glad this is a full length vid. I love guys but to be honest besides first rides I stopped watching when you shortened these episodes. Glad to see one back up

Fantastic content

Nice info!

Now I've seen burnt clutches and wore out clutches but now I know what a "blown up" clutch looks like.

The balancer shaft isn’t about hands, feet and nuts vibrations but harmonics that will destroy the engine and gearbox, reducing foot pegs and handle vibrations can be done cheaper in other ways but just happens to be improved by a balancer shaft

Hi, just wanted to ask. The washer spacer with arrow, why do we need to have it. why the extra length. It could be easily avoided if we dont need the spacer

Clutch looks really new but really broken 😂

please keep making these

The manual of honda said that the jugger spring goes on the outside of the clutch not on inside side of clutch and i see many people doin it this way is that may be the problem?

Stop by everyone once In awhile at this channel and still sad to see it’s Brian wreck bike rebuilds /:

I'm wondering if the "B" is for bottom (dead center).

Oh y’all are gonna go bloody deep alright”

Same thing with my 2014 Yamaha FZ-09 the clutch had a hole the size of my fist in it and I wear a size XXL motorcycle glove for reference and still rode it 500 miles before I found out when my clutch was slipping and I know when it blew because I did a clutch up wheelie and heard a loud bang and it started riding funny but I still ride it to this day but with a new clutch🤣💀

I have worked on a lot of bikes. im doing this fix. i have watched this video numerous times. however @47:25 i cannot get the clutch basket out. as if its hung up on part of moving components inside. maybe a piston arm in its lowest position? any help would be appreciated

I just got one of these bone stock with 3k miles!!

You guys should do a Nova clutch. It's BETTER than oem, they build the wsbk clutches and gears for HRC, and are built to be stronger. On Honda, the 3rd gear is notorious for being weaker, so you want to go after market for that rebuild. Honda builds crazy reliable bikes, the engineers are ok with overbuilding their bikes and that's why it could survive this abuse and still run

Hi all I have a question. I have a question regarding a front engine mount stripped on my cbr1000rr 2011.its the left side. Have you ever do one

I think it may have something to do with stator. And a shar of metal is getting thrown around. If I can remember correctly dident you guys have a hard time starting it at first? I dknt think the stator exploded but may have some neglected issues that turned into bigger problems. That's my best guess.

He should start a motorcycle mechanic school.

You might have not been that deep, but I have.. giggady

08 cbr 1000 had a recall on the clutch. I had one and the clutch slipped like hell. I replaced it and still slipped. Brought it in to the dealer and low and behold the previous owner never had the recall done

The engine has a face and it’s staring straight into my soul.

charging system very similar to the recall that was on the yamahas a few years back but that dont mean I'm not interested in seeing how to work on the transmission

A hook? That bad boy could catch a bloody Whale!

Good great video

watching this vid makes me think twice about shifting without the clutch (no quick shifter) is there any chance of damaging anything by doing clutchless shifting? thought bikes could handle due to being a sequential box

21:28 Brian is smart 👍

My outer clutch basket had 1/4 of it crack off Idk how no other damage is visible from within the clutch area but maybe it is worth dropping the engine and looking through the pump and stuff

All I saw was the word EXPLODED and I'm thinking OMG it literally just blew up on them when they were taking it apart but thank goodness it wasn't that and y'all are alive, but holy cheese and crackers that was completely messed up. I can't wait to see more of these videos!!

Would it be possible the following happened? -Old clutch went bad and put material through engine damageing pump. -clutch replaced with oil and filter changed. (Brian said clutch looked new) -bad pump couldnt overcome the air lock staving engine of oil and destroyed new clutch.

I just found your guys page, so I'll be looking at more videos. I HAVE A QUESTION that I'm getting mixed answers about.... I ride an 02 CBR 600 f4. My EX stole it when we broke up. When I got it back 4 days later there was a hole punched through the bottom of the clutch (area) part of the motor next to the drain plug. Looks like it came from the INSIDE because the grooves from the ripped aluminum tell so. It's about the size of quarter but is along the edge of the housing where the clutch cover meets the block housing. My question is this, IS THIS FIXABLE? Friends that weld say "ABSOLUTELY, BUT ITLL BE TRICKY," then they go into the how's and whys. Other friends say, "yo this is on the engine block, it's trashed..." Saying that I'll never be able to match the machining enough to get the clutch cover to seal properly... BOTH make sense to me. What do u think? REASON IM ASKING, I've since graduated to 1000RR, but LOVE my 600, it was my first so a lot of custom work has been done, paint, lighting, etc. my son just turned 15, has been riding a YZ250 since he was 11 and wants to go with me when I ride. I want to give him my 600 but need to know if this is a fixable issue, where as I'll go out and tear it down WITH HIM and have someone come do the weld, then supervise as HE rebuilds, (wont be his first) Or if this is something that would be best left alone and just purchase a newer engine and swap the, out. Cost about a grand for the engine... I wish I could send pics but if u can visualize an upright motor, reach down and run your fingers along the clutch cover till ur dead center bottom. Now run your fingers forward following the seam where the cover meets the housing go forward about 3" and there's a hole about the size of a quarter right where the cover meets the housing ON THE HOUSING side. So when u remove the cover it looks like someone took a bite out of the housing . Idk guys what do u think

The cause of exploded clutch plates. When the dog ears they drive the basket wear dents inside those slitch in the basket/center hub it causes the plates to snag when the clutch is moving the assembly in and out thereby fracturing the discs. My theory why it happened on my bike anyway. Replace whole assembly with updated part per Honda TBS.

Bo & Luke...covered. Brian is Boss Hogg maybe Uncle Jesse. Is Chase Rosco or Enos or maybe Cletus!

Niceee lol, i dont know if you answered this before but is Brian still working as a mechanic? Full time WBR or both?

24:20 thats just dumb, how hard could it be to just make that casing that much thicker there? 32:38, also very interesting, that looks 100% more like a car clutch rather than a bike one, almost all bikes have the multi spring system you mentioned previously, or at most they have a pressure equalising plate connecting all the springs together. Curious if you could tell that clutch plate exploded save for noticing its a bit louder

Revzilla is great!

Plz give me a tip my bike was Reving high then heard like explosion or not clunk cluck it’s a 2019 z400 Kawasaki abs order new clutch kit

I love this series, I'm doing the same next year but with a cbr 600rr 2008 model. I planned to to with the 1000rr 2008 but its too much power for what I want ^^ it's about 2 years since I planned to do that but this year I can't since I bought a cbr 600f4i ahahah next year I will buy the 600rr 2008 and start doing a naked/street fighter eheh

Honda had a recall on those years clutch.

I said it in the first video & I’ll say it again, rod knock

And are you sure that bolt with the washer isn’t the crank locking bolt ??

Honda builds a good machine.

Chase I told you a long time ago that Brian's favorite is broken
