Welcome back to the CSC Garage! In this episode, we’ll walk you through the process of changing out the clutch kit in your RX4 adventure motorcycle. Whether you’re a seasoned rider or a DIYer, this straightforward tutorial will help you get the job done with just a few simple tools.
🔧 Tools Needed:
• 5 mm Allen wrench
• 10 mm socket
• Flat Screwdriver
• Magnet
• Engine Oil
• Torque Wrench
🛠️ Step-by-Step Guide:
1. Remove the Clutch Cover:
o Use a 5 mm Allen wrench to take off the clutch cover.
o Note the reusable gasket or have a replacement ready.
2. Unscrew the Springs:
o With a 10 mm socket, remove the screws that hold the springs in place.
o Take off the plate containing the springs.
3. Inspect the Components:
o Observe the clutch kit components:
Six metal discs
Seven friction discs (two outer ones are different)
Six springs (which we’ll replace)
4. Disc Removal:
o Carefully remove the discs one by one, noting their order.
o The first disc is the outer friction disc.
o The last friction disc is different and serves as the full inner disc.
5. Install the New Clutch Kit:
o Pay attention to the position of the rings and plates.
o Start with the flat ring, followed by the beveled ring.
o Install the friction discs and steel plates in the correct order.
o The outermost friction disc has a unique shade and thinner pads.
o The last friction plate should be positioned slightly off from the rest.
6. Assemble the Clutch:
o Ensure the front plate is seated correctly.
o Attach the springs and bolts, gradually adding pressure.
o Torque the bolts to around 10 ft-lbs (aluminum case).
7. Reattach the Clutch Cover:
o Place the gasket back in position (if reusable).
o Tighten the small fasteners (8-10 ft-lbs) using the 5 mm Allen wrench.
8. Final Checks:
o Stand the bike upright.
o Start the engine and let it warm up.
o Check the oil level and top off if needed.
