Great video. You have fantastic patience. I gave up after my 3rd sprag in under 18000 kms. Traded in on a japanese bike. MV never again. Service lacking in NZ and even today on going issues with sprag clutches.
Im on my 2nd replacement not counting the original...this time Im doing it myself even though it's covered under warranty for the life of the bike I don't feel like traveling 80 miles to the dealer and waiting...I will also be getting a Kawasaki 1400 concours as my next bike, tired of starter problems...
I did have to remove the Intake and the new sprag works well, thanks for the video......now, As I am replacing the battery... I broke a 90 degree plastic fitting that goes into the fuel inlet in the bottom of the fuel tank....after repair I will sell the Dragster RR...
Thanks for the vídeo, nice coverage of replacement! Mine is stil in warranty and it's now in repair shop because of this, maybe it's time to say goodbye. I imagine what follows after warranty ends....
Hi, sorry to hear you've had this issue. At least your dealer has sorted it under warranty, mine refused to. I sold it in the end, bought a Ducati Streetfighter, not as pretty but much more reliable :)
@@philringwood5446 Phil, my Brutale have less than 2 years. This is a failure not normal. And he said me before it happen that is often issue in this brand!
Damn, but that was already the 8000c4242 part...so even the upgraded one fails😬😬 just changed mine. I suppose you have to keep the battery fully charged as well. I noticed that when the battery is not fully charged that can destroy the sprag.
It cost me $562.50 to get my 2015 Dragster RR towed home after the sprag took a shit..2nd unit the bike has had..Im looking to buy the "upgraded version" and repair it myself..thanks for the video..
I don't remember the part number the first one that the dealer replaced was supposed to be the upgraded version too I bought this one online and did the install myself. I believe that it is warranty for the life of the bike I would check with the dealer...Installing the Lithium battery made a huge difference in the life span of it.@@DLindgren46
Thise this effect the riding clutch too? I just bought mine and its got the same problem! Only 2,900 miles on it. What i noticed was that the the clutch seems slipping or there is delay on power moving from RPM to rear wheel.
Does all agustas have that dashboard blue light? I own a 675 since a week❤but having trouble reading the dash, on start it lights up, but while driving there is no light in the dashboard display....
@@Fee.1 not that I'm aware of. The actual process of changing the sprag clutch is time consuming, but not an overly technical job. Bottom line it should have been designed better.
How good are you on working on bikes? You say this only takes 6 hours? Could I ade you on any other social media and have you as a helper if I get stuck when doing this? I get Phase sensor fault and guess it could be my battery or the spray clutch h
FIRST OFF,THANS FOR THE VIDEO SIR. I own a 2014 dragster, sometimes the yellow light shines(side stand warning light )and then engine stops automaticly. i cant solve it, can you give me some advice?
It's great stuff, used it on many an engine rebuild and its always been fine. I sold the bike shortly after the video, it was simply too unreliable to use and the dealer didn't want to know or help, so it had to go :(
Hy friend! According with MV Agusta salers in my country, sprang clutch was modified in 2017 and new replace give no problems. Is it real? Or you had problems after replace it?
Hi, the local dealer didn't want to look after it, despite me being a paying customer, so I sold it after doing the clutch, as I figured one day something will go wrong that I couldn't fix and it would become an expensive ornament!
@@ExtraEFI hi, thanks for answering. I tried to remove the two from the left or the bike and I'm affraind of breaking the top of the screw. Also I see that there are other 5 more to be loosen, and I don't know how to do that. I think that tomorrow I will send the bike to the mechanic to finish the job.
Phil, boa noite! Cara, tenho uma F3 800, que está com esse mesmo problema. Você sabe dizer se corrigiram esse problema? Me passa por favor o código da peça. Obrigado e parabéns pelo vídeo....
No Part #8000C4242 is supposed to be the upgraded part but I don't think it completely fixes the problem permanently..The lithium battery helps a lot..
Why did the sprang clutch fail? I'm asking because I have heard that it will probably fail again. So what's wrong with it & is MV factory doing anything to remedy it. I want to buy a 675/800 or an f4, but issues like this are putting me off. Has the f4 got the same problem? Thanks.
@@davidrespect6471 I wouldn't be afraid of buying the F4, I wish I had done that (brutale) instead of the Dragster RR only because of the starter, the bike is bad ass...I also hade a cooling fan circuit failure..
