Cb400f Clutch basket rubber cush drive

<< < (2/9) > >>

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Interesting Video Max.

Oddjob:
I missed the video Max, the link didn't exactly stand out and TBH when Ted mentioned it I was like, "What video?" Just watched it and I've got to say your solutions to how to make them consistently are great, simple and effective. Even freezing them was inspired.

I've got a few spare baskets for the 500/550, they differ slightly in that the 500 has either one tooth more on the gear or one tooth less, can't remember now, plus the actual basket is different, I'd imagine however the damping rubbers will be the same, I'll split one and see if they are similar to the 400, how big are the rubbers BTW? just so when I find out I can compare them.

Have you tested the new clutch basket yet and if so is it standing up to the demands? Might be a bit early to tell but initial thoughts?

amx1992:
The rubbers are 28 / 24mm outer diameter (oval shaped) think the slot is 7.5mm wide and 17mm long. Haven't put the clutch back in the bike yet, but I'm quite confident it should be ok, there's someone who has been doing classic Kawasaki replacement in Viton for a few years.

Oddjob:
That's interesting Max, I thought they were circular, especially after watching the vid, you seem to just turn them down to a circle.

amx1992:
Yeah, because I could only make them round I had to compensate all the dimensions for having to squash them to fit the circular rubber in the oval hole
