Great video series. I just bought a 2004 Vulcan Classic 1500. The clutch is slipping when it gets hot. I know that's the clutch fluid and slave cylinder, but if I need to do the full clutch, I may try (with a friend) to do it myself as that doesn't look very hard at all. Shop said if I needed new clutch it would be around $700 to $800. I'm hoping to get it done much cheaper myself.

I have a 2004 Vulcan Nomad 1500 FI that I think I'll be doing this to soon. I hardly have any clutch pull so it engages and disengages right at the outer limit of the clutch lever release. I think I'll try bleeding the master and slave cylinders first and see if that helps.

I did not see you check the clutch release operation before replacing the chrome cover. Did you pump the lever and watch the plates move? How much clearance will it have fanned open? Mine shows 1.4 mm using feeler gauges.

Old Mac. I was wondering if you can answer a question. When I release the clutch to the bike, the motorcycle wants to jump forward and for some reason it also stalls out sometimes. The lever is too soft also. I have a 2001 Kawasaki 1500e classic. Any information would be appreciated. Thank you. Randy.

Hi there , old mechanic, I figured out my torque wrench had fail , after fail attempts, finally my brother in-law came Over with his 24 volts torque wrench and did the trick , I can’t believe after many approaches, finally the nut is loose and I’m in the process replace old plates with new ones , my piece of advice , is don’t matter how experience you have sometimes the tricks of the all school works , this case , the torque , I had exhausted old school acknowledge and it all came down to hood torque wrench , Cobalt 24 volts and a 27 mm socket , my advice, on this take , not always things go the way you picture , my philosophy, thanks for your videos who’s inspired me on the take of the Kawasaki Vulcan clutches replacement.👍

Hi Orlando, good to hear that you finaly got the nut loose. But I think that you used an impact gun and not a torque wrench to get that nut loose ?

@@TheOldMechanic , yes from the beginning I had used the impact gun but , impact gun was not working properly so a friend brought Cobalt impact gun and it took few seconds and it came loose , I had try it min first gears and I was still spinning , let’s hope nothing mess up , waiting for the gasket for the exhaust and cover to arrive , I decided also to order the Kawasaki cover gasket as you said it it I had the first one from Amazon and changes are is going to leak so my bets are on the Kawasaki gasket , so can’t go any further until them , thanks again for you very clear and detailed video.👍

Vraagje . Ik heb een vn1500 classic tourer gekocht uit 1998 En nu slipt die koppeling ook als ik vermogen vraag met optrekken . Hoort dat bij deze motoren ? Zo niet , wat zou ik dan moeten vervangen ? De platen en de veer ? Of zou de koppelings cilinder ook de oorzaak kunnen zijn ?! Ik hoor graag van u 😀👍
@TheOldMechanic
@TheOldMechanic 2 жыл бұрын
Hallo Bennie, een slippende koppeling is nooit goed. Afhankelijk hoelang dat hij al slipt zijn de frictieplaten EN de stalen platen aan vervanging toe. De stalen platen checken op blauwe vlekken (te heet geworden) en of ze krom zijn, zo jah dan die ook vervangen. De koppeling cilinder zal het niet zijn, of hij zit vast, maar dat lijkt mij erg onwaarschijnlijk. Succes 👍🤛🏍
