laser1 Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 It appears the shims are available. Wonder if there is a English version of this video? http://betamotor.jp/support/cluch-ajust.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junior_vet Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 Good video when you can understand what they are trying to teach you when you have no idea what they are saying. Thanks for posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil king Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 If you bike is a '12 model the outer most and inner most friction plates are different than the rest. I cut the grooves with a hacksaw blade. Mine was so bad I had to change oil every other ride or it would grab at the most inopertune times.

chewy Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 (edited) I've been having the same problems Neil; the problem appears to me to be that the driven or steel plates are pressed or stamped out which deforms the flatness of the plate, As well as spending a lot of money on a new bike I.ve just spent all morning lapping them flat,.. it appears to have been worth it as I can select all gears stationary ..even neutral. However for a "radical test" I've also designed a plate with "oil grooves" and a wavy edge bit like brake discs.. having them laser cut and will probably need lapping. I think flat is essential then surface finish needs to be be looked at. It seems this is a typical Italian engineering problem in that IF all the component parts are perfect then the clutch will work perfectly..but they seem to have no idea or care of what tolerences are for. I can understand the shim idea as it takes up any tolerence issues re slave cylinder/ pushrod to the bit it has to lift as it is important to maximise the lift afforded by the master cylinder.. particularly if the plates arn't flat!. I WILL SORT THIS Edited March 30, 2012 by chewy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
