Physical difference's between clutches
What are the physical differences between the early/late model clutch baskets? From what I see in parts diagrams looks like the early model has 3 springs and later version 6. That sound right? My '80's clutch has 6 springs. Quite a few years I changed out the clutch but want to confirm what version... more so for the second washer which the later version requires.

79 and 80 versions didn't have springs in the basket, just rivets. The 81 and 82 versions have the springs in the clutch basket.

Re: Physical difference's between clutches
The early clutch baskets have hard rubber 'pucks' in place of the springs - 6 on a '79 and 9 on the '80 I believe. The rubber gets hard and loses elasticity running in the hot oil and then the clutch rattles. Rebuilding the baskets involves drilling out the rivets that hold it together, replacing the rubber pucks and then putting it back together with bolts and nuts
ProLink baskets use springs and look similar to automotive style clutches

Re: Physical difference's between clutches
Thanks. That clarifies why there were two washers used for the clutch sleeve. Been so long ago since I changed it out and recent medical condition that I second/third guess myself on many things.

Re: Physical difference's between clutches
From doing a bit more reading now come to understand the 2 clutch versions use different sleeves. What are the differences?

Re: Physical difference's between clutches
Thanks. I have both sleeves and washers just not sure which one I had to use. Now, with the dimensions, I can measure and install correct parts in the correct order.piit wrote:Hi, i made some notes couple days ago. Please check from cbxworld forum, whether help you.
