Clutch replacement done...

[mikesim]

Methinks she just "feathered" the clutch too much during the lesson, overheating, hence glazing the friction plates it in the process...
She also reported not gaining speed while raising revs on the motorway on her way home...
But we'll know more upon inspection of the parts...

This is going to sound terribly sexist, but it has been my experience that sometimes those on the distaff side are not so good at describing mechanical issues...... there I said it!........ bring on Armageddon.....

... likes to wrench, likes to make work for himself...

yeah... right...







Those steel plates are beyond "blue"...

New friction plates, steel plates and springs... works perfect again...

GF mumbles about liking to crawl with slipping clutch in the urban congestions...

Anyway, since the NT is in fixed, I can finally turn my focus on getting my ST1100 in top shape...

Yes, those plates look a bit discolored.

Intending to mount them as trophy on her wall... wooden board, engraved brass sign, the whole thing...

Well, the abused plates are mounted... on the wall...

... and she even did it herself

 

[ARKNT]

I've never seen them used like those wall ornaments anywhere before. Interesting conversation starter.

Hello Guys,

I am looking for a new clutch set for my HONDA NT 700 DEAUVILLE (2006). Is the clutch is same for all NT700 (2006 - 2012/2015). At some sites it is the same on the other it sort of divided into 2006 - 2009 and 2010 onwards...

I am looking into following clutch set TRW MSK 102 (https://moto.autodoc.co.no/trw/12858866), however the website states it will fit 2010-2015 models but when I check on other website or TRW website these states that TRW MSK 102 will fit all HONDA DEAUVILLE Model including the 650 (https://www.motorcorner.com/trw-msk102-clutch-super-kits.html)

Any thoughts or webiste to get it in europe?


Many Thanks
Peer

David Silver or Fowlers - https://www.fowlersparts.co.uk/parts/4946826/nt700va8-2008-e-abs-mkh/clutch would be a starting point for UK.

This might be an option:

But I'd also copy and paste the P/Ns into Google where you might find more affordable sources...

Pattern parts? Well, always risks involved... wouldn't recommend use on primary systems like engine, drive train or brakes...

PS: don't forget to order dedicated engine sealant, the clutch cover is glued to the case...

Just read a brilliant DYI tip for mounting covers with gaskets and sealant. Get some cheap "long" bolts with matching case threads from the hardware. Cut the heads off. Thread them into the case and use them as guides for gasket and cover.

That's a very clever technique. I have used it several times when installing the side cover that holds the stator. As you probably have experienced, as you slide the cover on the magnetic attraction of the rotor makes it nigh impossible to slip the case on cleanly without disturbing the gasket or sealant. I just wish I would have discovered that trick years ago. Too soon old, and too late smart.

I used that trick eons ago when I had a drag racing car after high school. It was especially helpful when reinstalling the transmission since I lacked a tranny jack and I didn't want the weight of the tranny hanging on the clutch plate hub! Also helped greatly when reinstalling cylinder heads.

Your mention of cylinder heads reminded me of this meme

I did this all the time as an auto tech, it worked great for aligning items where you have wet sealer applied, like water pumps and differential covers. Eventually I had a collection of alignment pins, SAE and metric. Let me also suggest, cut a slot in the end that faces out, that way you can extract the pins with a flat blade screwdriver once the item is bolted on.
