Mikey Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I've picked up the rebuild kit for the clutch. Anyone done this yet? I don't want to take it all apart just to find it's a pain in the ass and I'm stranded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rockmeupto125 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 You mean replacement disks? What's wrong with yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBBXX Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 You mean replacement disks? What's wrong with yours? Really? you gave no indication there was anything remotely wrong with your clutch. I was worried mine was going a couple of years ago, but I changed the oil I was using (Mobil 1 red cap) and that fixed it right up. Let me know when you're ready to do the pool. Corynne and I will gladly shoot down there and give you a hand. marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey Posted May 31, 2006 Author Share Posted May 31, 2006 Oops, sorry guys, yah I was vague wasn't I. No the disks are fine, it's the lever. It's notchy, not a smooth pull. Seems to me that the rubber gasket has swelled or something because it's really close to sticking. The replacement kit wasn't too expensive 40 bucks maybe. Looks like it's doable, has a C clip. Basically it replaces the plunger system up at your lever. Now, has anyone done THIS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byrdman Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Yes, easy. Just keep track of the parts and the order they came out. Also, you'll need a good pair of circlip pliers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rockmeupto125 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Nothing wrong with your clutch hydraulics. I bet you've got a pile of grunge on your clutch rod. When you change chain and sprockets, do you pull it out and clean it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey Posted May 31, 2006 Author Share Posted May 31, 2006 You think? I had it out not too long ago. I'll pop it off and clean it. When I explained the problem to the dealer, they said honda had a kit for the clutch. It'd be nice if it's that simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I explained the problem to the dealer, they said honda had a kit for the clutch. It'd be nice if it's that simple. Here's the best pics I can find. Once you pull the sprocket cover off, you'll see the clutch actuation rod that travels from the left side of the case to the right side. Pull it out gently, and you'll probably find all matter of shit caked on it. Clean it off well (try not to use sandpaper), grease the contact area at the tip, and reinsert.

redxxrdr Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 You mentioned the lever. I bet cleaning the slave rod will fix your problem. If not, have you removed the lever and lubricated the pivot point? Also on my other bike, I ran 18 years with the origional clutch fluid. It was getting sticky. The fluid was dirty, and bleeding all the dirty fluid out helped.

Mikey Posted June 1, 2006 Author Share Posted June 1, 2006 Ok, I'll do what you guys suggest (I know the lever pivot is ok, since I recently cleaned and greased that). I'll do what Joe suggests and ..uh...put grease at the end of my rod before putting it in..hehehe. I'll even change the fluid just to be safe.

Given the circumstances, perhaps you should consider covering it with a protective sheath.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
