the reason my clutch wouldn't adjust was the last owner failing to put the right plate first. So 2 years on your vid is still adding value. Nice one chap.

@spicy110 6 лет назад

Easy mistake to make but you don't make it twice. Glad it had some value 🙂

@XnoobSteve 7 лет назад

The best instruction videos ever regardless of topic, are the ones that show the mistakes and fixes

@spicy110 7 лет назад

+Joe Maloney I do agree

@2StrokeSquashie 7 лет назад

Clutches I have done in the old bikes have three plates to the clutch, the two like you have and a third which is a really thin and flimsy spring/wire ring thing which sits between each set. It's interesting to see that in 40 years clutch design is basically the same!

@bazz6670 Год назад

Thanks mate for bringing the first clutch plate to my attention. We were having trouble getting neutral while motor was running and I knew it was dragging somehow. This is after full rebuild.

@DuckyBee156 7 лет назад

You know the thought of doing my clutch scared me ( I do all my own work now ) but this angle and simple show made it seem fool.... well, spicy proof! Good content as always sir! X

@ParryMoto 7 лет назад

awesome job, i may have to do mine in the future and this is a good reference.

@alethewolf9505 7 лет назад

dis will really help when I do my mechanic course xD keep up the amazing work spicy =)

@ladyjjheather 6 лет назад

First time ive seen that part of the bike like that!! I will be needing to learn some things like this for my bike.

@Trenscendent 4 года назад

You failed to mention that the steel plates have a curved face and a flat face similar to a crush washer. You are supposed to put the curved face towards the engine and flat face outwards on all the steels.

@osten_takes_on Месяц назад

Go to 4:25 I did this exact same thing. Failed to notice the thinner friction plate and my clutch lever was hanging completely loose. Watched your video and realized my mistake. Thank you!

@spicy110 7 лет назад

don't forget to like scragamuffins!

@georgesalf2447 7 лет назад

Hi Spicy, I really like this style of video, it's a real shame that your bike needs to go wrong for the videos :( And I really don't want Derek to go wrong on a regular basis for your sake! LOL

@gremlin2288 7 лет назад

ok its a like from me but I'm sure the clock ran down b4 u finished it :)

@norincobro6421 5 лет назад

Nice one. I think I noticed some slip on my DRZ400SMK5 today. 50,000 miles in 14 years. Looks rooly ez to do. Thanks for your help. Btw, what were the torque values for the bolts? Cheers

@spicy110 5 лет назад

Can't remember off hand just google drz400 torque specifications and you should be able to find a PDF off with all of the torque values.

@moorshound3243 7 лет назад

I was just gonna do the count down thing when you started ha!

@Mtthwpez 7 лет назад

Gah, easily done Spicy. Don't beast yourself up about it!

@Motonion 7 лет назад

Well done for finding what the problem was!

@zaks5433 7 лет назад

Very informative, hope the next one ain't bad

@d_o_u_g_h_n_u_t8063 7 лет назад

If I can recall properly, its backfiring either from overfuelling. It would need remapping on an EFI or rejetting on a carb

@e6ensperception 4 года назад

Thank you for this vid, having a completely loose clutch lever and wanted to know what all to watch out for, seeing that I've never done this before lol

@youthfulrider407 7 лет назад

Fuel Idle mixture screw on the carb?? 11:50

@benriley7053 7 лет назад

Bit behind on your videos due to work but I gotta say I love the how to/maintenance videos. I'm a pretty new rider so am always looking at tips etc. Where did you learn this stuff or was it just trial and error?

@paska777 7 лет назад

that exhaust backfire can cause by too lean air/fuel mix need to rejet carburetor or lift needle on slide AND spark plug can do backfire

@OmegaKnightRed 7 лет назад

Anyone who follows your twitter might be able to hazard a guess to source of that popping ;) Good Video, nice to see people do a bit of maintenance on their own bike, hopefully it encourages others to give it a try.

@jayjayk4915 5 лет назад

Spicy the kinda guy that has a picture of himself as his homescreen

@stevenllewellyn8906 5 лет назад

I like to use the new gasket, trace it on the cardboard backing and put each bolt where it’s supposed to go to keep track of it. Marker easily comes off.

@kramerguitars204 7 лет назад

You should've left the cover off! So it'll be cool, like a Ducati! -signed, an idiot 😉

@rolandharke7498 6 лет назад

Funny. Good catch. Great video. Thx

@SixthGearMotorcycles 7 лет назад

Hehe funny, I did wonder if this was the problem but didn't want to suggest you had overseen that but to be honest clutches can be a bit tricky and for your first go you did great! I've never had a thickness problem with EBC kits but have done with cheaper kits. God what a racket, the locals must love you! 😂

@spicy110 7 лет назад

+Sixth Gear Motorcycles no I bow to greater knowlage! Say anytime. But hey I learnt got myself out if it so I'm learning more. And yes I suspect I will be shot on my return

@SixthGearMotorcycles 7 лет назад

spicy110 Dunno if I have a greater knowledge, I'm self taught too and would always rather give it a go than let someone else do it. Any job is possible if you have the right tools and patience. Yeah keep a eye out for the linch mob! 😂

@thebluejumperguy 7 лет назад

sounds like an fcr carb to me. just need to jet it for bbk and 3x3

@outsidethewirevet 7 лет назад

Good job, and you learned what not to do the next time. :]

@SQWATTY 7 лет назад

Was it just me that found the click of the torque socket strangely satisfying?

@spicy110 7 лет назад

+Matt Woodhouse Oh it is lol

@Raw.milk1 4 года назад

My clutch is slipping I believe. It shifts fine and take off fine in 1st. But I did a burnout and shifting into 2nd and dragged the clutch a bit and after that i couldn't wheelie in 2nd anymore so I know for a fact something is wrong.. I haven't done an oil change in a while but I should. I was riding for a few hours before the burnout and everything felt perfect. Wheelies and all. My cable seems fine. U think I need to change my plates ?

@spicy110 4 года назад

I would 100% take a look at them, I was going to say check adjustment but seems you have.

@Raw.milk1 4 года назад

@@spicy110 I did. And this morning, I checked my adjustment, i messed with it, it started running fine and then I moved it like an idiot and fucked it up again. Now it slips with the adjustment all the way in and out. So it seems like ima have to check the plates. Thanks brother for response

@mazz1121 7 лет назад

did you put the steel ring spacer in with the small friction plate?

@TheCharillz23 5 лет назад

all drz 400s have the odd friction plate in the bottom of the basket. i was curious how clean the clutch basket was.

@TheLOneWAlf 7 лет назад

That sounds lit a blown ring or the bore is scored

@KINGSBERRY2008 4 года назад

Zuup broo.... Why does the last friction disk is off set with the others......

@spicy110 4 года назад

Its an anti vibration ring, basically a round spring. As you may have seen on this video if you have that ring and the one larger plate in the wrong order it work work correctly.

@celtdavies2176 7 лет назад

would you lose some of the accuracy of the torque wrench if your using all of those extension bars and adaptors?

@HalfdeadRider 7 лет назад

Nope :)

@paulbudford 7 лет назад

At least you realised your mistake, and was easily sorted. Would of really sucked if you had to change the oil again

@spicy110 7 лет назад

+Paul Ford yer, got there in the end. 😀

@RevvedUpBiker 7 лет назад

What ever you did to make the bang pops, LEAVE IT!!!! :D

@garydavis2265 2 года назад

Spicy what camera are you using on the tripod

@Eric-nb7vg 5 лет назад

hi, i have to replace the inner clutch case. is there any trick i have to know before opening it up? i know i have to get all the oil out ... :-) thanks

@spicy110 5 лет назад

Err you will probably need a puller to get it off and remember to put the anti-vibration ring in the same orientation when putting back together. That's not a comprehensive list but the things that pop in my head strait off.

@Eric-nb7vg 5 лет назад

thanks man

@rodneyaiken1742 5 лет назад

Thanks for making this video to save me from doing the same thing

@mrredline3940 4 года назад

What did you torque them too?

@Ksolidey 7 лет назад

I know why it keeps popping!! You fed the bike too many baked beans again, didn't you? :p

@ediedi1539 6 лет назад

Hi 7:30 and 9:00 what setting on wrench ?

@djdarkrcom 7 лет назад

sounds like a gone exhaust gasket, or hole in the header pipe

@HalfdeadRider 7 лет назад

Never knew bike clutches had so many friction plates

@UltimatePwnageNL 7 лет назад

What the fuck i actually learned something are you alright?

@ronanrogers4127 5 лет назад

Very helpful, thanks

@eclipsegfxable 7 лет назад

You got a new exhaust? ;)

@bchant19 7 лет назад

yeah, you gotta make sure you keep the same stack height I know it's not your fault that the plates were too big but I'm just saying for anyone else who has this problem.

@spicy110 7 лет назад

+bchant19 wasn't the plates either! Lol

@bchant19 7 лет назад

yeah, I jumped the gun a bit there lol but that can cause problems my dad done his clutch on a Kawasaki ninja zx9r and his kit was short 1 friction and 1 steel but the thickness was bigger. Have you checked the thickness off the old plates to see how far out of spec they are? Nice tip for the bolts by the way, though.

@spicy110 7 лет назад

+bchant19 2.6 min they are 2.9 so had a little left but with the old springs just didn't cut it. 😀

@bchant19 7 лет назад

yeah theres nothing worse than a sloppy clutch. So if you wanted to get the max ammount of life out of a drz clutch you could probably go to 30,000miles if you dont do any clutch up wheelies during that time lol.

@alibaba02121996 7 лет назад

Make sure you have enough slack in your clutch cable so your clutch doesn't slip during hard acceleration :) Do a motovlog on the mini bike in the back ground

@spicy110 7 лет назад

+alistair tang... Yes I know, I have maintained my own bikes for 8 years. If your willing to change clutch plates odds are you will know how to adjust it. 🤗

@alibaba02121996 7 лет назад

spicy110 also adjust it properly because it can cause extreme pops and crackles through the exhaust. 😂

@nuttypigeon 7 лет назад

Lucky you don't need to take the clutch nut off everytime to get to the plates, because that is a pain if you mess up!

@spicy110 7 лет назад

+nuttypigeon Oh trust me I'm thankful! 😂

@silvergryphon21 7 лет назад

How'd you tell you needed new plates?

@johnlight460 Год назад

What is the torque spec

@17hmr243 7 лет назад

someone needs to remix friction and steel

@highRolla420 4 года назад

What nm mate?

@paska777 7 лет назад

those new cluch plates should sink in motor oil over night so they suck oil in they selves and reduce wear on first rides

@spicy110 7 лет назад

+CoffeeMan they were.

@paska777 7 лет назад

good

@WolfiePicsOfficial 7 лет назад

@azimuth2142 7 лет назад

How much of a dipstick did you feel? How many of us who aren't mechanics wouldn't have done the same thing? Now you know for next time. Never knew it was that easy to do.

@Hutchys-Adventure-Tours 7 лет назад

did you soak the clutch plates in oil

@spicy110 7 лет назад

+chris hutchins of course and in the next video I show that bit of fotage as so many people said that.

@HalfdeadRider 7 лет назад

Bolt came off from were the exhaust meets the header, he put a pic on twitter.

@Bimble 7 лет назад

Ah ok thanks. I don't have the Twitter, but I do have a DRZ that makes the same sound when the exhaust goes :)

It's a shared space, not my stuff sadly. It's far better these days but I still have a couple of engines in the way.
