My R1M Clutch BURNED up!! (FULL REBUILD Start to Finish!) 

The clutch cable needs to have some slack to allow the clutch to fully engage. If there is no free play, the clutch will wear out quickly.

Wow, rarely see a clutch that hammered. Something tells me that bike was rode hard and put away wet in it's prior life!🤔Clutch basket itself looks pretty tired, would change it.

what bike have you recently rebuilt that hasnt broken down?

No locktight?

Test drive should be 250-300 maximum speed, you are using it like 125 cc

紙ガスケット使うなら液体ガスケットいらんよ。

That inner basket is scrap my friend, that's where the springs have dug in. Likely will drop straight in the grooves and hinder spring movement. That inner basket has got to go

Any news of your cbr 1000rr. Really wanted to know what happened.

Hey CJ, love the videos man! Always check adjustment first and set lever freeplay. But im almost positive the damper spring or "coned ring" is backwards, the last friction plate isnt offset, and both hub and basket have gnarly grooves. Which can eventually make your clutch feel clunky. And will get progressively get worse. Cheers buddy!

hey ,man i think the last plate was supposed to be aligned with the punch mark at 9 o'clock offset from the others

I'm loving your videos. But this clutch basket is absolutely done.Clutch springs have made pretty bad digging. Keep it up and much love from Bulgaria. Can't wait to see that Aprilia beast finished 🏍️🏍️🏍️

I am from Germany. I love your videos, keep it up And my clutch looks just like your old one. And you could have driven this one even further. The coloring is quite normal. You should have just turned the clutch pedal pin further out, or further in, so that the clutch closes further.

Your clutch damper spring “conical spring” is installed incorrectly. It should look concave facing outwards. See service manual. However, this did not cause your clutch failure. As previously mentioned, there’s a high probability your clutch cable was adjusted incorrectly. Too tight. Cheers!

Don't know if it's a big deal... but I think you've made a mistake... Please check. Removing the parts, the last 3 were in this order conical ring, friction plate, flat ring. Installing you place friction plate first then flat ring and then conical ring.

Why are you applying a gasket maker when you’re using a new gasket?

Im jot sure why youre so happy about this. It means one of two things, your riding habbits suck or Yamaha clutches suck. Neither are laughing matters.

You young guys make me laugh. You were hardly leaning at all. 😂😂😂😂those tires are new on the sides. Ride your ride, you’ll get there eventually. You are still learning. Start doing track days and you’ll get better at cornering. I ride a 2021 zx14r which I took to a track day and lost all my chicken strips on the first lap. An R1m, now thats a track weapon. Use it responsibly on a track you’ll become a better rider.

nice work..but plates should have wait 24 hours in oil before you start.

I'd bet that the "spring ring" (or as the manual calls it "cushion spring") should go the opposite way with concave surface to the outside, towards your face when you're installing it.

I agree with the comments that others have said that the inner basket should be replaced as well as the cable be adjusted so the cable has freeplay instead of tight like you have it. Also i have seen you use standard engine oils in the past. You want to make sure you always use motorcycle specific oil (like you are now) as it has the proper friction and dispersion modifiers to deal with a wet clutch. Your videos are very well done. Keep up the great work.

10:18 The grooves in the clutch basket exacerbate wear on the clutch. You can file down the grooves with a fine file to save money but down the line your gonna have to replace the basket for who knows how much

my curiosity, why the clutch cable was deem functional? because at first I thought it might have bedded in and stuck? 🤔 but again thanks for sharing its very eductional!

The clutch being worn out and slipping is fair enough, but no matter how worn the clutch is the lever should always have spring pressure behind it, where as in your video it wouldn't return... So you have other issues. From the looks of the basket wear I would say the plates got caught in the groves and when you released the lever the springs couldn't compress the stack again as it was stuck and the lever went loose.

Bro your clutch hub is facing friction issue that's why it has grooves please change it ASAP otherwise it will make bigger mess.

Great video , it's better to offset the last friction plate to the rest of stack to distribute the stress on the clutch and help lessen the noise , it won't harm the clutch but if you look when you took the cover off the last friction plate was offset from the rest , I've seem many of these from the factory without the last one offset so there's no harm but it does help if you do , they state it in the manual but I've seen a few that are all lined up on stock clutches now for some reason . 👍🏼👌🏼

The last friction plate you fitted (on the outside) was not located in the correct channel in the basket, it should have been offset 1 channel compared to the other friction plates. You can see a witness mark where the original plate sat. The last plate is always offset compared to the rest of the plates. Check your manual. You should have more freeplay in the cable too or clutch will slip.

Nice work bro ❤️❤️ love from Bangladesh 🖤🖤

I've seen grooves like that in the clutch basket where someone used aftermarket springs that had poor fitment

Nice work, CJ. Those trees blossoming are beautiful.

Don’t know if happened to you but my clutch also burned and first thing I noticed was the pressure bolts were to tight, probably clutch was rebuilt and person who did it cranked those bad boys all the way. Plates probably were not disengaging properly leading to excessive heat and a snapped cable.

Clutch is destroyed . probably melted-stuck the fricts together by abject abuse by some punk .. . those scallops shouldn't be on the sping locating pegs.. shouldn't be a issue. the spring could get hung up ..never know .. but that is totally WEIRD to take the amount of metal out of that hub's spring pegs.. could they break, I'd replace the center hub immediately .. like the clutch seized .spring was forced on that peg and turned and turned -should have replaced the hub.. infact a aftermarekt adjustable slipper would have been the route the scalloping in the basket where the clutch friction plate tangs engage .... should have smooth them out .can make engagement problematic ...Using a FACTORY SERVICE MANUAL you can get the factory specs for the spring length , clutch pack height, etc.. If a spring is well used it won't measure w/in factory spec..-short .. the clutch pack. the entire clutch drive, driven, judder plates the thin convex or wavy metal plates together are measured for height .. I've never seen such deep scalloping on the spring locating pegs and I've done my fair share of clutches .. This is why insurers write these superbikes off after a massive wreck.. the liability of repair is enormous as something else undetected could break, causing another wreck and a major lawsuit...

What a disaster i'm dealing with. I'm restoring a 1993 CBR600F2 and i ordered a fairing kit from MFS-Motor. It showed up the other day and first of all i have to fit the headlight. The mounting inserts are 5mm to close and two of the inserts have threads sticking up that are too short! The mounting area for the turn signals are at least 4mm too low and off by the same amount. What a mess. Have you ever had problems with things like this with your vendor?

Good vídeo, but the Last disc is wrong!!

When I did my R6 clutch for the first time I found out it was a PAIN IN THE BUTT to line up the teeth. I did find a decent way of doing it, but it is still a task. . Plus I did it without RU-vid. . LOL . .

プレートの一番上の組み方間違えてますよ。下側は順番に重ねて組み付けますが最後のクラッチプレートは左右どちらかに一箇所ズラして組み付けます。3:09の状態と11:48の状態を比べて見てください。日本からのファンより。

I was just about to say the same as the comment below, the clutch needs a little slack

R1M, "i was leaning pretty far on these corners", 2finger chicken strips. No, you were not leaning pretty far. I don't care, i can't lean either, but don't go around claiming that XD

You have a recalled clutch, you don’t put the friction plate in first. It’s the two metal rings then the plates. Pull up the factory diagram they fixed that. You put it back together wrong. I just went through this with mine.

You folded the clutch wrong. The last lamella should be rotated. So it should not be in the same line. It is also written in the workshop manual! The reason is simple. When the plates are in line (the way you put them on), the clutch won't start to slip when the plates wear, but it will start to slip when it's metal to metal. So iron filings from the slats get into the oil. When the lamellas are correctly, i.e. the last one turned, it rests against the basket and the clutch starts to slide. This is a sign of limit wear of the lamellas and a reason for immediate replacement. This is how lamellas with the minimum thickness can be recognized. You don't know it when you mounted them in one line and you can damage the engine with metal filings until the clutch wears out completely.

Awesome video by the way, i would recommend getting a smaller In-lb torque wrench for those 6mm and 8mm thread bolts!! Thats more suited for what you need as the bigger one isnt small enough.

doesnt look too bad. i did not only make the plates blue i made the friction plates black on my FZ1.

Hi CJ, nice work man......strange that the discs were burned. Maybe someone previously changed them ...by the way, I highly recommend a quick shifter, bidirecional for sure. Can´t wait to see the next one. Cheers!

This crossplane engine sounds awful, old r1 sounds much better

You put the last friction plate the wrong way. it should be offset than the others. Check you video in tha start to see the last plate and check it at the end to see that you put all friction plates in the same gap.

Holy smokes that was a good video 👌

Bro Gift Me Your R1 Bike 😢😅😂

Need the shark stickers... congratulations from BRAZIL

Make it a good habit every time you get on a bike to put gloves on. The payment will have you missing those in no time.

Does this motorcycle really have 3.9l displacement as the little number indicates at 2:24?

Please dont use liquid on top of the gasket. Its not needed. You either use the liquid or the gasket, not both

I think there was no oil left when you open the clutch case.which cause clutch plates to heat up and burnt...

Your vlogs are entertaining and informative for the casual mechanic

CJ can you help me out??? Need advice on adjustable kickstand Yamaha R1. I got my Yamaha R1 MotoGP 2022 and I want it lowered, I already have lowering kit! Yet can’t install it coz I can’t find adjustable kickstand. What app can I order such? all apps i know are the old version. I believe it’s not compatible for the latest version. Subscriber from Philippines.

I fear you've wasted 400 bucks dude, the inner basket is toast unfortunately 😢

"and i was leaning pretty far on these corners" - Shows a virign tire

Ohhh crap. Can you imagine if that bolt snapped off all the way in there? Oh my goodness, that would have been depressing for a while.

Hi CJ I was watching one of your episodes five months ago and you were replacing your clutch and you reuse the clutch basket and it was damaged I just wanted to let you know that it is dangerous

All those bugs that didn't come home to their families 😢

You have wasted a lot of money dude. There was nothing wrong with the clutch. All you needed to do is measure the stack of plates and add one or two thicker ones and that’s it. No point of doing what you did here. You didn’t measure anything at all.

You are wrong installation embrayge bkafule

watching this vidd after you rode it down the cliff

Get a complete suter clutch kit...cause the basket is trash. Also add an auto blipper you will see big difference in riding.... Will also feel like wsbk rider😜 (By the way may i suggest to remove the front flapper with motor and add a carbon fiber fairing stay which comes as complete kit with biger ram air carbon tube)

My Son just put a Kevlar Barnett Clutching my 1980 Cb900c. It’s wonderful, smooth and engaging ! No more worries here. My Son has had very good luck with Barnett , so many people give positive reviews. We think they are perfect. Good luck it’s not a major job.

Do not use RTV and a paper gasket, it's one or the other. Why are so many people on RU-vid doing this?!

I've seen on Mt-07 that they line up the things that stay out, the first friction plate on 6 and 12 o;clock, then on 3 and 9, then 6 and 12 and so on, idk if its only on mt-07

Tail of the dragon is in deals gap north carolina...not Wisconsin. There is no "new" version 🤡

if you're going to keep drag racing the R1, you should look into replacing the stock slipper clutch with a non slipper clutch. slipper clutches don't like drag racing

Hey CJ those markings on your clutch basket you're going to need a new clutch basket soon those markings are not good news also I wanted to ask you are you familiar with LoJack

I wish you would STOP saying lever it’s leaver learn to speak English

At 4:25 it looks like there could be some ridges worn into the inside of clutch basket. This could cause the plates to hang-up ever so slightly. You would feel it will your finger.

Hola cj donde compraste las pastas y discos??

I build 1/12 models of bikes. This one is my favourite. By Tamiya.

nothing wrong with those clutch plates, they are obviously gunna get heat marks on them! old clutch looked very dry when you removed it, did you check the oil level?! and dont use the quickshifter when your going so slow, thats the fastest way to wreck your gearbox!

Basket is done mate , I’d of changed it,

CJ, you definitely cooked that clutch, make sure you have the correct amount of play in the cable when you reassemble the clutch.

Nice bike to bad it is stuck in Arizona!!

I do love this bike CJ, good job on the clutch made it look effortless! Any luck with the Honda?

You aint had to ruin mommas plate like that. Put them in a ziplock bag and put the plates in it with oil.

why does he drive with high beams on?

cool cj, kind advice watch your knees. some padding when working on the floor. dont ask me how i know.

Cj where did you get the subframe for the s1k and aprillia i wanna buy one for a yamaha r7 but cant find anything

bro your rear master cylinder is empty

With stock rear links I see there, is there a reason you placed the triple trees so low on front forks? Genuine question, intent and tone is hard to relay in text.

the only thing i hate about the R1 is....front suspension..it shouldnt be GOLD...

You should've changed the oil

If the clutch is burned out you must to change the oil.... The oils has the clutch burned particles.

there's two side on each iron plate, you can feel the difference by hand rubbing against it, put them back the way factory does or it will fuck up your friction plate real fast, also swap out the friction plate with new one and swap the basket too if you want to be worry free for your future ride or do some clutch up wheelies

You were not leaning lol rip clutch

Top a caixa de embreagem vai ficar!

happened to my r6 2020 as well after 15k km. seems to be a common issue

Bro you should add some decals to the carbon body panels of the r1,it looks too plain in my opinion

Mano pananggatang mo dita clutch lining bro?

Man oh man that carbon looks so good. Dream bike. I'm trying to keep 20 year old 954 Blade similar like You, attention to details and content is on point, please keep them comming! Love it!

Rn32 Problems … sadly

Nice work bro❤

Please raise the bike on the folks please, it will probably handle so much better !

That conical ring is called a Belleville washer, it's basicaly a spring.

4.24 he's not a mechanic ?

Aftermarket levers... :-(
