An excellent video that I’m sure will educate and help many Himalayan owners as our bikes gather the miles. Many thanks for taking the time to post it.

Thanks Nev aye hopefully useful to somebody someday mate 👍

Great clear instructions, and all done outdoors 😊

brill vid and very informative for peeps like me in the UK who dont want to ride for 100+ miles to their nearest dealer and want to service/repair the Himalayan themselves👍 last time i changed a clutch on a bike was on a bought used 6 yrs old bike a 1983 GSX1100ET with 18k miles on the clock in 1989 as a 22 year old..i was out of my league, no internet , KZread vids or smart phones to take pics on as a reference, it was all done via memory when taken apart. I got it changed and it was absolutely fine with no probs..I was just lucky i remembered how i took it apart 🤣 nice to see how to change the clutch plates and to see what you have to do with engine case removal etc on the Himmy👍😁

As always your Motorcycle service videos are crystal clear and to the point. I like your approach and your explanation to details and your clear demonstration of what you are doing. This makes it easier for anyone to replace the clutch on their Himalayan or any Motorcycle! You are also confirming by your Motorcycle Service videos, just how easy and practical it is to maintain your Motorcycle and for any young budding Motorcycle Home Mechanic, this has got to be a big plus!! Just keep posting your videos in the manner you do. Another excellent video on the Himalayan, very well done. Thank you.

Thanks, just finished doing mine, thanks to you.

I’ve had awful problems with my clutch, has completely ruined my first year of ownership and it’s still in the garage waiting for parts, has been there for 7 weeks, and this is the third time!! Has been months and months of non use. The garage have been saying this never happens and my warranty won’t cover it. However your video gives me hope, yes I will have to pay but Im hoping it will now get sorted. I suspected it had been over adjusted, to cut a long story short, it’s knocked my confidence in owning the himmie but I’m hoping I was just unlucky, I want to use the bike to travel extensively and now I’ve seen a few of your videos I’m feeling more confident.

Hey that was too good, and nice detailed work.

I hope you don't mind me using the jaunt moniker in my name. I plan to do some videos at some point on the visa for Australia process. In the meantime it has been taking so long that I bought a Hymalayan at the weekend. It will be delivered on Wednesday. I won't need any manuals, you have done a good enough job with your videos.

Leave the clutch bolts in, copper penny in the teeth, crack centre loose. The penny forms to the teeth and wont damage them. It was the factory method on the xl and xr Honda bikes in the 80's. These are built the same. Always soak plates for an hour. Put them together dry and you will regret it. Drag and heaps of wear will result on first use.

Thank you - this gives me hope for my 2021 that's been intermittently shuddering/clunking from stops or during low-speed maneuvering as when you're feathering the clutch. Cable adjustment affects-but-doesn't-cure it, and my wife's identical bike has never done it while mine has done it consistently, off and on, since day one.

My 21 has done this since day one as well. I have it on my lift now to do the clutch.

I get the notion you like taking it to bits. I've just put on RE pannier rails. Took me three hours, mostly because can't work upside down for more than a couple of minutes. Came with a longer bracket for the rear light, which put it further back. Go well.

Hey, great tutorial. About the last friction disk going rotated related to the other 5.... I actually meshed it up because I put them all in line, therefore... I had no clucht at all😅 I reasamble it all again, and now clutch works. But adjusting it, it keeps having slipery clutch (you accelerate hard, and the motorbike revs up but does not really accelerate). If I tense the clutch cable too much, i get slippery clutch, if i loosen it too much, I cannot really change gears... Any clue? Thanks!

Is this 26mm socket for centre nut... other vids say 27 mm ?

great video as usual, just wondered how much clearance you gave the clutch activation lever ?

Cheers Charlie. It's about 3mil but am keeping an eye on it due to the upgraded springs it's feeling a bit tighter than I'm used to. I did a video on clutch adjustment a while back. 👇kzread.info/dash/bejne/k4iYxc6chLbRpqQ.html

Where in the stack were the uneven plates located? I'd assume the ones closer to the spring may be likely to encounter more force than those closer to the engine but I could be completely wrong, looks like a huge difference though either way.

Is the locking tool you used the " Motorcycle/Bike Clutch Flywheel Universal Pulley Sprocket Holder Tool AT637" sold by Tools 2 U Direct SW on Amazon? I ask as there is such a wide variation of prices for very similar tools on offer.

I must have missed something at tech cless, when did oil start to soak in to steel ? Im refuring to soaking clutch plates. A really good video 👍

@mattyb7736

9 ай бұрын

Oil soaks into the friction material, light smear on the steels so they don't cause the contact surface to dry out on assembly. Once the bikes started and clutch used, oils thrown everywhere. Its that first use when the clutch has to free up thats important, otherwise you head off down the road as soon as you put it into gear whether clutch is in or out. Ask any pre unit bike owner about clutch drag on first start of the day.

Q.. How many miles on your bike when you had to replace these clutch parts???

I noticed the hickcocks kit has less plates than the R.E one. Is there something you need to do to compensate for that or does it just go in like the original like you installed here? Im about to do a cutch replacement on my bike. Thank you for making these videos (im new to motorcycles) we basically have the same bike just different paint

I thought it had a cpl extra plates. it's possible to just buy friction plates etc so it might be something like that. The principal is exactly the same just take your time changing the clutch and up be fine take a note of where everything goes. if you get clutch drag or whatever you will know that something isn't quite right so be prepared to take it out and start again lol

⁠​⁠ I just got my parts in but I’m worried I didn’t get the correct ones. The kit I got from Hitchcock has 2 of the smooth plates and 8 of the ones with the grooves and 6 new springs. I’m worried I don’t have enough plates because the OEM one is 6 and 6 plates. Have you seen a vid with the hitchcock kit? I appreciate your help, thanks!

hey mr jaunt ;-) thanks for the great video. My clutch plates were busted and burned, and the basket got a little scratched up but not terrible. So, I've swapped out my plates but now the clutch won't engage. When I put it in first the bike jerks forward and stalls. Any adjustments to the cable result in only a change in tension at the lever, but not at the clutch. Any idea what the issue might be?

@WeeJaunt

It sounds like the one or more clutch plates might be dry. Did you put friction plates in oil before install? I would drain the new oil into a clean container to reuse. Take the plates back out soak them in oil for an hour then be 100% sure they are reinstalled in the right order. It's unlikely to be a big problem assuming everything is well oiled and installed correctly. The basket on my bike was notched very slightly like yours and no problems. If its badly notched then it can cause clutch drag 👍 good luck with it mate.
