My clutch had been slipping and I've asked all around for advice. Finally got it remedied with Chris' help and clear instructions. Channels like this is what makes KZread invaluable! Thank you so much, Chris!👍🏻👏👏👏👏👏👏

Well, there are a few things that make it easier. First that bike lift. I have the Amazon one cost about $125. Second is that little Milwaukie driver. 3rd is a roller seat. Those three things will make life much better.

@Hazcat and don't forget editing out all the dropped bolts and swearing 😀 No joke, it took two times longer to clean that case gasket than the whole job. One thing about the dub, there isn't much on it that's hard! I appreciate you boys watching

30 year mechanic here and I have never seen the gasket trick. Thanks!! Great video by the way.

Yep, an older GM tech showed me and man has it helped!! Thanks for watching!!!!

Easy peasy! I enjoy watching your channel. You know your stuff, and coming from another gearhead, I find it refreshing! Most of the dual sport content creators I've found don't know jack when it comes to working on their bikes.

Thanks so much for subscribing!!! Follow along, will hopefully have some epic Idaho backcountry footage when we return!!

thank you, i will try this weekend and your information and tips makes me more confident!

Thanks for posting. I did mine some time ago and it seemed to fail early but kids were learning on it and riding the clutch a bit. I never changed the springs nor the metal disks so next time I will.

Hey John, I think the springs really help. In a pinch, if you don't have them, you can put a little washer as a shim to tighten them up a bit. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for this how to. Very informative.

Thanks Patrick! Glad to hear it!

Good stuff.

Thank you for your detailed video! I'm surprised it needs a clutch with such low mileage. I've had my 02 for a few years, bought it at 5K miles and now it has ~11k on the same clutch. Hoping it'll hold up for a while longer, at least now I know its a simple job.

Yeah, the stock clutch is fairly weak and depending on the rider they can fail pretty quick. This particular one got out of adjustment I believe before I got it. I purchased it knowing it needed a clutch and a cylinder base gasket. Just got back from a 1300 mile trip through the Idaho backcountry and it did great! Thanks for stopping by the channel!!

Excellent. Now do the 390 Adventure before my clutch wears out. 😁 - Frank

We can probably handle that! I don't think I've ever turned a single wrench on a KTM. Never too late to start!

I need to change my clutch on the yamaha xt225....hopefully be as easy as yours.....

How did those HD springs feel? Still can do with two fingers?

Hey buddy. Yeah, didn't notice a ton more lever effort but it grabs really good. I prefer using OE plates but on the tw I think they are a bit weak from the factory. You can use a small washer on the stock spring as well.

I need to replace the clutch on my TW. You put EBC springs on. Did you go with an EBC clutch kit (I think it is the DRC231) as well over an OE? It look OE is about twice the cost. I would really appreciate your thoughts.

@PSBEadventures

Yes sir. The DRC231 comes with the stronger springs. So far so good on this clutch job. I've read someone sells a Kevlar one but not sure which one it is. For the money, this one is getting the job done

I have had Very bad luck with the Ebc clutch kit. I have worn out 2 ebc kits quickly. I’ve found the oem clutch kit which includes a gasket for a good price is the best. The oem clutch has been lasting longer and has better clamping force.
