Clutch reassembly

(1/3) > >>

Craizeehair:
I’m currently trying to figure why my clutch is so stiff, I’ve got myself ready to investigate and I’m getting myself more and more confused, there seem to be several different configurations and I’m not sure what I have and if it’s correct!

I have a spacer ring… If that’s the correct term?

I think it fits like between the last friction plate and the hub, if I am correct can anyone confirm if this is the correct orientation, with the tabs at the back and open space facing forward, if that makes sense?

I feel like I need to have a tea break!

Craizeehair:
Having stepped away from it, it seems the more obvious way it has to go is the other way round… So bevels are facing the same way?

When I took the clutch apart it wasn’t locked on at all, so I am just trying to work it out.

Hondaman seems to say in his book that it goes after the last friction disk but the diagram seems to show it between the steel and last friction plate, that’s if I’m even reading the right bit!

Hopefully someone can make sense of my ramblings?

K2-K6:
Which model bike is it ? KO, K1, K2 etc

The manual schematic aren't too clear to interpret from the example I've got.

Does your outer clutch basket have an external ring around it on the fingers near to the outermost (nearest to you when installing) position  ? Not clutch plates.

Craizeehair:
Sorry, it’s a K0

Does this help, it’s the only pic I have to hand on the phone?

 

K2-K6:
Yes image helps.

A long time since I've worked on K0 transmission, immediate recall of detail slow  :) the band in question is to hold centrifugal load on clutch basket, and replaced on later models with a welded outer band incorporated into the basket structure, I believe. Which may account for some confusion in various sources.

I've one of the original first edition Honda workshop manual, in which there's some detail but not hugely expanded to give absolute clarity.

General principle is that the ring you have can't be interactive with one of the metal clutch plates to the extent that even with clutch open it would connect metal friction plate (driving centre boss) to the outer (basket) when you pull the lever.

The schematic in the manual shows that metal band immediately underneath the outermost fibre friction disc ... appearing "concentric" with the metal friction disc which is next in line going in toward the gearbox.

Does that ring fit outside the basket, with it's teeth going into the gaps ? That's how it appears to go.

Can the metal friction disc pass through that metal ring, concentrically without being impeded ?
