CLUTCH 6-15
Clutch
Spring Plate Free Play Measure ment
Insufficient clutch free play will cause the engine braking
effect to be more sudden, resulting in rear wheel hop. On
the other hand, if the free play is excessive, the clutch lever
may feel “spongy” or pulsate when pulled.
Hold an extra drive shaft in a vise and install the following
clutch parts on the shaft (see Clutch Installation).
Spacer [A]
Needle Bearing [B]
Sleeve [C]
Clutch Housing [D]
Spacer [E]
Clutch Hub [F]
SubClutchHub[G]
Friction Plates [H]
Steel Plates [I]
Spring Seat [J]
Spring [K]
Clutch Spring Plate [L]
Engage the clutch hub with the sub clutch hub.
To measure the free play, set a dial gauge [A] against the
raised center [B] of the clutch spring plate.
Move the clutch housing gear back and forth [C]. The dif-
ference between the highest and lowest gauge readings
is the amount of free play.
Drive Shaft [D]
Measure the spring plate free play.
