Thanks!. Congrats on the 2023 KX450! Oh man your in luck, this KX450 will be getting a top end, and suspension servicing and will be doing videos on that too.

@@UpAllNight91 Hell yeah! Definitely looking forward to those. The stock suspension and valving is really good on this bike. I've never felt like I could push on a stock bike but with this one I feel like I could race it right off the showroom floor. I'm pretty heavy though so will definitely need springs.

Right on. If she's still breaking in she will feel nice and firm. After about 20 hours things should loosen up some.

Yes the flat spring clutches are surely sensitive to clutch pack thickness. They have a very narrow are they work well in, I really dont know what are the advantages of these flat springs but I'm guessing it might have a different progressive clamping pressure vs normal coil springs. Maybe providing more clamping forces on the clutch plate but not has hard to pull in at the clutch level? Just a guess. Yes this clutch was not too bad, but the owner is a life long vet rider and he notices even the little things. Oil can cause the drag as you mentioned and I asked him if hes changed to different oils recently or anything and he says hes been using the same oil since hes owned the bike. I have fixed clutches dragging just by changing to a different oil, it does happen

I weigh about 150. But this bike belongs to a friendof mine. . Yes this bike will be also putting together a video on the forks. Should be up within a week or less.

Hmm, are these new plates? I have seen that when they plates are way worn out, or when one of the fibers or steels are missing. Or if the clutch kit is not actually correct for the bike and the whole stack is not thick enough. Sometimes taking the spring pressure plate off and turning it a quarter turn then putting it back on can help too.

😂lol. I learned the hard way. Was young and broke and wanted to ride every weekend so I had to learn. Never took a course or a class and it probably shows lol

@UpAllNight91 Salute 🫡 to you for graduating 🎓 from the school of hard knocks! Most not gone make it. You doing a excellent job making Techs great again! MMi gotta give you a honorary degree.

@@bunnyman6321 thanks brother! Been a bottom feeder in this sport for years but I love it and its been good to me. I have no complaints! Was hoping to be a pro rider, that didn't happen (delusional dream anyway lol) Then hoped to be a pro riders mechanic, that didn't happen. But I always have bikes all around me, can ride anything I want, and have a wife and brother and family that rides and crap I feel blessed

@UpAllNight91 That's excellent everything worked out for you. About the pro rider mechanic I saw the Tedder family looking for a mechanic and also it's opening I saw for a pro motocross/supercross mechanic. I could share it if you want? I'm not sure if your page would pick it up as spam if I post it. I wanted to be a pro rider too ; my parents wouldn't buy me a bike. I didn't get a bike until I was grown 😕 I'm still salty bout that

Thanks brother. Honestly at this point I'm good staying around home and working. I'm 47 now lol. Someone would have to pay me really well to work on the road these days. I feel ya , I didn't get my first Motocross bike till I was 19. My parents did buy me a 3 wheeler and a trail bike but what I really wanted was a full on 2 stroke MX bike. I use to stare at magazines and dream. When I became a adult and started making my own money I bought a 1983 yz250 that was missing 1st and 3rd gear but it ran. I learned how to fix her up and she was a ripper. Then it got stolen but I got it back 2 weeks later. On my first ride on her after getting it back, it hit me... this was my life. And here I am 27 years later! But I feel ya on the salty thing. But also kids that get it all also lose the love as adults and move along. Being hungry as a kid lights a fire that we have today

Thanks! Yes there should be a washer between the basket and the inner hub, otherwise the clutch will bind when the clutch center nut is torqued down. The first plate or the last plate are often always the first to break because they are the first that start building friction when the clutch lever is dropped or let out quickly.

@@UpAllNight91 Thank you! yes, ok the washer fits. But why does my washer end up beyond the channels of the gearbox shaft? I ask you: shouldn't it remain further forward? I don't know if I understand. For clutch discs, how can I avoid breakage?

@@giovannilocci5868 Hello. Can you send me some pics of the washer on the shaft and all that so I can see whats going on? Email the pics to upallnight91@hotmail.com

Very similar, only difference is it uses tradition clutch spring instead.

@@UpAllNight91 thx

@@diegogarces3654 Yes sir!
