Motorized Bike Clutch Repair (Advance) 

Hey I want to adjust my clutch arm on my motor but it won’t pop off. I removed the nut on top of the clutch bar. It still won’t come off. Is there a certain way to remove it? Because it’s hitting my frame and I want to move it out more.

That was an extremely in depth and well done video that should be of great help to anyone encountering that problem.

I like the shorts keep up the great work my friend. It's your Channel and a few others that gave me the inspiration to start building. Thank you all. I'll be upl loading pictures of the build on the Discord.

i just fixed my bike after a nasty wreck so be careful everyone

Great video and topic... I don't understand why the thumbs down... I bet they ride electric bikes...

I love the RU-vid shorts from you. also I was having an idle issue with my 49cc lifan motoped. I have fixed the problem and uploading a video right now of what it was

Say hello, mr hover, we like your videos, & we want to keep, seen, more, please, keep, sharig, thanks, joe & bros.

Yez it's short & quick. But I really like ur regular vids.

What should I do when I'm rebuilding my mobilized bike engine and I forgot which side the crink shims go on

Thanks for a very comprehensive video. And I don't usually watch shorts but I don't think they're a nuisance either. Some viewers may find them useful. If it helps your channel then just go for it.

More shorts. I love em

Keep doing the shorts!

Been waiting for this for a while!! Best vid on RU-vid for this by far. Thanks so much

Well OK then. I finally had time to get into my slipping clutch. I needed to come back and give you a big thanks. I was the guy with the new yd 100 clutch slipping out of the box. For me the fix was to turn the collar about 2 turns and that did it. Thanks for adding so much to the community on somewhat little known subjects. You sure helped me out because ill be ready for a ride this weekend. 👍

the shorts are ok but if we are doing unboxing i'd prefer a longer video with less cutting. Also go to landscape.

Thanks hover we needed this one i like the new style vids reminds me of my boy motocheez vids how he records and cuts str8 to the point never going off topic its coolThat in a perfect world bit was Phenomenal

Nice 🚴‍♂️💨💨💨💨some more good info 💨💨💨🤙✌👍💯

Again, I shall say this; your mug is awesome!

i also had the issue with the screw. since then, I've went through and installed that screw on the plate while the plate was off the motor and ground down the threads from the inside on all my bikes. i have zeda 80s and one 100. it helped ALL of them!

I find these videos to be very helpful. As I have a similar issue with my motor and the pin or collar may be the issue. While going down the road l heard something snap inside the case and it died on me. Tried to restart it and it would still roll over but not catch a hold. So I put it away for the winter till I had time to tinker on it. At least I got some place to start that makes sense on what my issue mostly is with my Grubee Skyhawk.

Shorts are strange. Muh answer is yes.

I'm curious if the collar could be threaded in one of the holes. Replace the pin with a grade 5 bolt that has had the head cut off and trimmed to length. Then cut a slot in the remaining shank to use a flat tip driver and threadlock. While the pin is annoying to replace, it would be easier to replace than any of the formed parts.

Great video again as always but what carb is on that bike thanks.

Very well done and clear detail on the workings of the clutch assembly..very,very useful info!! Thank you for sharing

I bought new clutch pads and it still slips so do I have to take the gear off but my gear puller is too small it won’t go over the bolts to u remove the bolt? And sometimes it grabs really hard and well and other times it just slips

The shorts are nice

i love the shorts

I believe you have a good channel. You also are a fine mechanic.

Thanks always learn alot in your videos

If my clutch is really hard to pull can I put a Allen key in the collar and spin the wheel half a turn foward

I like the shorts

Nice video!

Hey my friend I got a small question my 49cc and my 80cc engines are both leaking oil from the spark plug what's causing this

Hey great video. That was extremely well set up and explained.

With my bike I have the pencil eraser pads and I have to make it so it squishes pads so much that it will start with the pin in other wise it slips if I adjust it properly do I need the upgraded pads or did the pin pop out

Hello LA Hover Bikes, I just started having clutch issues too however mine was obvious as when I opened the case oil was everywhere haha The oil seal is now damaged but I believe it wasn't seated properly and it in fact came further forwards towards the drive gear. Is there anything that normally holds them in or possibly use a nylon spacer on the shaft to stop it sliding out? Or would this cause more damage. Ordered a new seal from a bearing shop and new pads for later in the mean time but I don't want this happening again.

Shorts are 10/10

Sweet.

I want thank you for your videos they are so helpful I have a motorcycle rides bicycle and I'm trying to put together but something out of the clutch it's not working right watching the bills trying to figure it out I appreciate it I'm from Arkansas so go hogs

Good Job 👍

Thanks for the new info 👍

I dont know if my clutch has a problem but when i got the engine i had to press the clutch for the back tyre to move. Now it moves even with the clutch on or off. Is that a problem. If so how do i fix it?

If you want brutally honest, then I'm 64, built 24+ bikes, and still learn from and love your videos. Your a cool down to earth guy who presents info in simple and understandable ways, kinda the best "Motorized Bikes for Dummies" out there! Keep it coming and Thanks!

Im a mechanically inclined guy ...but always learning... I built my first moto bike a week ago... Had a whiniy noise.. so i knew I needed to grease something.. found your channel and thank you for answering all my questions....SPEED SAFELY

Honetsly not a fan of the shorts ..love the videos but shorts are more of a annoying teaser being I love to get a notification about a new video youve posted only to be let down by what I would call a advertisements for your channel..keep the content coming👍

Bout to try the castle nut here as you described. I looked everywhere and finally ended up here. I'm pretty sure I said this before but just in case I didn't, you have the most informative videos here on RU-vid and I really appreciate the time taken out of your day to help the motorized bicycle community. Although I have tried it yet I'm pretty sure that's what the problem is as I've tried everything else to no avail. Thank you so much and please keep the awesome videos coming ☺️

On the shorts you talk like a robot lol its cringy thats kinda why i like it 😂😂😂

The shorts are dope, keep them coping. Can't hate a good preview

Dude thank you so much for this. I’ve been slowly assembling my phantom 85 and upgraded nearly all external parts on the bike. Final step of installing drive chain, and I knocked out the clutch. Thinking I had destroyed my engine I almost gave up. Watching this video showed me all I did was knock out the seal and lose all spring tension. Appreciate your insights and work to edit all of these! 👍👍

I doubt you actually reply to these but I got a china doll kit that didn’t free wheel properly when engaging the bar. It feels like the drive gear was under compression and clicks over quickly after hanging up for a sec every time you turn it by prying on it with a screwdriver. Hard to turn this gear even when clutch plate is removed. It may not be the clutch but it is something internal. know what else it would be. It almost seems like maybe it has a broken shaft spring? And I don’t know how to fix it because I don’t know what’s causing this action.

I installed new clutch packs, and after a day they slip and motor won’t engage…it’s annoying when you spend time sanding and shaping them…just to have them slip again…I tried cleaning the surface with brake cleaner making the Spanner a little bit tighter…I decided to use another motor’ out of Frustration. I have three motors that I’m trying to fix….sometimes the bearing will get stuck in the motor causing it to slip, I had a customer that clutched the hell out of the motor.

Have you ever got a replacement clutch shaft and had issues with the keyway slots not not fully showing past the bearings like 25% of keyway slots not showing past bearings on each side. Im thinking the new clutch shaft is too short. In my situation I had a lil bit of the key under the bearing so the part of the key that locks the sprocket on was raised and I couldn’t get the sprocket on unless I filed down the key a little bit

I really enjoy your channel, and have learned several valuable lessons from you. Thank you. Now, I have designed and built a motor mount system that isolates the motor from the frame with actual rubber 'bumpers'. 4 of them. They are very easy to work with, extremely effective, and I intend to market them at a reasonable price. I would truly appreciate if I could send you a set for one of your in depth and honest reviews. How can I contact you for a shipping address? You would truly like these as they eliminate almost all vibration, and are built to last.

So I had my bicycle running however it would slip after a while and stop running...my uncle decided he was going to try and fix it by putting WD-40 on it, and now the motor won't turn over at all and it keeps slipping so that do I do

Will use all the information in this video went to ride my bike today and all the spokes in the back room were loose I guess it’s from vibrations I was so surprised when I was riding in my butt was moving side to side

I actually had the same thing happen to me....I bought 2 seeutek engines back in 2019 and one of them would slip when I tried to crank it and eventually it got to were it wouldn't crank at all because of slipping....I adjusted the big spring and it worked.....iv been riding in everyday for the last 7 months and it's starting to slip again I think I'm going to have to just replace the whole shaft assembly...I had to watch your video to refresh my memory lol ... thanks again for your video brother...I love the new gas bike frame you just built....I bought a phatmoto in 2020 and put a 212 predator on it and brother you talk about having some stupid power.....but I want to build another one and I been looking at the F/zero

I have a 100cc 2 stroke motorized bicycle that had been running fine fine, only problem I'd had was the choice lever fell off and I put it back on; I tried starting my bike. My first try the motor turned over but didn't start up, my second try when I let out on the clutch it made a weird noise; when I press the clutch I can pedal the bike to start it but when I release the clutch my back tire just slides like the brakes are applied and the engine doesn't seem like it's trying to crank.

Love the shhorts

I honest cannot sit down and watch a full video most of the time bc I am working around the house. So I watch it in parts as I take my breaks. I am on disability and it is time to get ready for winter here in Idaho. So I do things slower than I use to. I am wanting to build a 4 stroke over the winter so it is done by spring or a little after. So I am watching tons of videos as it is my first one and I want to do it right the first time even if it takes me longer to build it. So I look at all the videos as good or great videos. It is not how well they are made or how much I learn that makes good or great videos. Most of the videos that I have seen are from people that love to do this and they are taking their time to show other people to help them. That alone, to me, makes a good or great videos. Yes, some are better then others but for the most part they are all good. I do not understand people putting the thumbs down, judgemental idiots and negative A#%@&&. I will try to make a video building my 4 stroke motorbike over the winter as they are hard to find on RU-vid. Most videos are 2 stroke. I understand the more strokes are not always better but how you ride them. LOL. HAHAHAHA. I just hope my video turns out as good as the others I have seen. STAY SAFE and DON'T GET RUN OVER.

Hello my issue is the opposite of a missing ball bearing. For some reason after taking the clutch pressure plate off for diagnosing then putting back on, the bucking bar sticks out too far on the other side which makes the cam shaft not turn at all. Which in turn makes me unable to rotate the clutch rod, making it so I can’t engage to clutch at all. Any ideas?

Im having an issue where the clutch wont fully disengage when I pull the lever. I re adjusted the the clutch arm and it didn't help much. The bucking bar is good. So I loosened the flower nut and readjusted the clutch arm. That worked for about 3 days and the issue is back. I did notice when I pull the clutch, the clutch plate doesn't move outward evenly

When I was riding all the sudden I had no clutch took off the cover and wiped the pad and plate and there was oil or greese on it. Would this happen if say someone gets the gas can stuck and spills on the engine.😅

Hello Henry’s owner. Love your posts. I have a 80cc engine on my Rayleigh ten speed and I love it. I wanted to know if it is different from Raleigh that I’ve seen you use. It’s been a great bike for thousands of miles. Thanks

My inner shaft is not fixed when I unscrew the flower. My bike looses power after 100 meters and dies out. I hear some rattling in the motor. Can the loosen inner shaft be causing this problem? I cannot remove the nuts, I will have to buy a big socket, mine have a small diameter. Then I will be able to handle the shaft and the pin.

What Im thinking about the pin is to drill out the collar the right size of the rod and press in the right pin from the next size drill bit... Extra long hardened drills ... Having a pin just floating is asking for problems... Great video about the clutch

So I have a brand new hundred cc my clutch slips with the same problems that you showed in your video have tried everything else so I'm taking out the mainspring like you suggested but on the same side opposite side of the sprocket my boat to stuck what do I do and you know the main Big Black

My clutch problem is I set it everything works great go for a ride kill bike then go to restart and even with clutch fully engaged can barely peddle to start motor ? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Only my second build and it is doing it straight out of the box . Thank you

Hey my bike makes a loud clicking noise when the clutch is pulled in.I’ve been riding it like this for a while but it is annoying. What could this be? Where can I join the discord server?

This seems like an outstanding video , but to me its useless if you dont show how you removed the clutch shaft.

i don't really watch youtube shorts. I think the practical application for you would be if you got a new exhaust and he wanted us to hear it before you made a full-blown video little tidbits like that but otherwise I don't really click on RU-vid shorts

Thank you! I’m a new builder. Your videos have been my go to. You and Hughes. I just completer a challengi

Yes this video helped me I had to split my case to clean metal shavings but that was something else..I had The same "slipping" issue my castle nut was crossed threaded ever so slightly. And that caused the sealed bearing to warp on the inner ring. I rethreaded at the castle nut and put a new Bering in threre thank you as I would have never known about this issue.

How do I join the Discord? I could use some help with my engine. Idk what happened but the clutch no longer works and could use someone to talk to about it to assist me.

It’s the problem that I am having with my clutch right now mofos i didn’t want to have to tear it apart and it’s got a good compression

Im having too much pressure on the pads lol, i bought some custom made pads, and they are just too sticky on the metal, so much that when my bolt got a little out, it cracked the metal from the chain side, on the clutch sector, more accuratly on the long screw.

I wonder if those 30$ billit “easy pull stunt clutch lever” on eBay would improve the feel of the clutch. I’m tempted to buy one

Need to know where to buy parts for my clutch. good video good information Thank you.

14:23 . I’m having an issue with being unable to pedal with clutch in or out? Any pointers?

Well the reason I watch is so I can better understand how to fix these engines first and foremost but also everything that goes into owning one of these and I just find it to be an intresting hobby... So when it comes to the shorts I dont think I would have a whole lot of use for those...

I have a problem going on with mine and I need help to find out what it is I use to have to hold the clutch to move the bike now the clutch still moves but it doesn’t lock the back wheel up like it’s pose to and it doesn’t start at all not even a sound and I can move it around like a regular bike with out a motor like I don’t need the clutch to move it what could that be I just got it fixed now it don’t run at all

this was great bit of info by why is the discord server gone, or why dont you give links to it? weak sauce

Hey dude right on I have a problem whit my new engine I can't disengage the clutch but this video helps a lot thanks .

Love your videos. It's the reason I bought a new zeda 80 . Because I know you can walk me through installing it.

Thanks for the good info. I was so nervous about doing this. Turns out the pin was seated properly. I could only see one of the threads on the shaft by the spring so I tightened it it until two are visible. I guess it was just dirty clutch pads because the only other thing I did was clean them and the basket and now my engine doesn't slip when I try to start it.

Would love to see a video of a comparison in power between the phantom 85 and the hybrid cylinder

Excellent clutch tutorial. I actually watched to the end since you suggested it. Ten minutes later my clutch was working great and I was cruising down the road. Thanks

My seeutec the clutch pad is wabling I can see the bearings and it makes a high pitch noise and I can't get it to come out of the motor

So why is it I hear that some of them Springs there that are in the middle of the clutch says that you got to rotate it and turn 10 to 12 times and that is a proper rotation on the spring tightness why do I hear that

My clutch won't engage, it won't spin the engine to start. What could be wrong?

I have the clutch bearings went out with less than 200 miles on motar why you think

Hi hover! My name is Tobie I have some trouble to set the spring in the clutch...when i tight the colar spring my buking bar dont fit anymore and i cant put my clutch cover because the bucking bar is to far outside of the engine...i already search vidéo about that explaination and i dont find one so can you help me with à vidéo? Sorry for my poor english im a french from Québec so thank à lot

Hi I have a brand new kit and everything is assembled correctly but I'm having clutch issues. No matter what I try I can't get it unstuck back tire stays locked up and when squeezing in clutch handle nothing happens. What can I do?

All right we'll give it a try and let you know what happens

my gas bike vibrates SO BAD. i have everything mounted correctly with anti-vibrating mounts. it my engine for sure. How can I fix this please help?

Loved this video it really helped me out with knowledge for the future, however, I have an issue where the clutch is not turning the smaller gear correctly, what is this problem? Any idea on how to fix or where to look?? Thanks again for your knowledge 💪💪

Hey LA! im looking to get a motorized bike kit but don't know what one! my friends are getting some 80cc eBay ones but I wanna get a 100cc so I can beat them without breaking the bank, what kit do you recommend?

It’s awesome that we both like guns and kerosene lanterns too

late to the party here, but those short videos would be tremendously useful, even if just a 20 second video explaining a random engine part biweekly or something, or giving a small tip to a passerby, would also introduce more people to the hobby!

Im tryna figure out how do loosend the clutch to do the free peddling

How do you take a clutch basket apart the actual crnter of it with the studs
