Clutch Mods

all right guys we got another bike modification here that we're going to be working on and this is a clutch assembly or you know clutch basket and a couple parts that go to it and this is another job for the same bike shop that I've done other work for and it's actually dean disciples here in Pensacola and they're they're a triumph dealer and they also got that they've got a race team where they raise triumphs and I believe they're getting ready to head to Daytona in a couple weeks whatever whatever Bike Week is I think it's a couple weeks away and they're going to be racing in the Daytona 200 and so I believe this is for one of their bikes and this is just some stuff that Rob he's my buddy he's one of the he's one of the guys he's a he's a racer and a mechanic down there part of the family and I believe this is something that he's doing on his own trying to you know I guess improve find a little more power I know he talked about lightening this so I haven't seen it all together you know so I don't know what all this looks like but he's taking it apart and I've got to do a couple mods for it for him so you've got the got the basket and this is what I'll be doing everything - right here is is the aluminum clutch basket itself and so he's taking some of the parts out of here and if you see once you put the gear on here that these gears here actually stick up above the gear and so what he's wanting to do is machine these off to where they're basically flush with the gear and this cover plate here will sit on top and line up with the holes and then he's got three new rivets that we'll install here and I'm actually going to have to open these holes up just a little that the these rivets are a little bit bigger than what was in there I think these are 8 millimeter so we've got a we've got to open the holes up so that's a that's what we got to do there to get this get this going form so I'm going to take some measurement so I'll probably use I'll probably use a depth mic and lay across the face here and come down to the gear and take some measures from on 3 and try to get that try to get the length of these you know maybe a couple thousands below the face of that or so and then whenever he puts this piece on and then rivets it together it should be nice and tight so that's what we got to do form this is what you asked me to do and so what we're going to do okay I've got the baskets up in the Forge all I'm just you know I got the jaw set and put it in there I pushed it up against the face of the Chuck now I don't know how flat the the backside of this basket is against the chuck but what I want to do because the gear is going to sit along here I want to go ahead and check this face here and make sure I get it as flat as I can or running you know even and I usually like to have my stuff running true so I'll go ahead and use my ID indicator attachment and get the inside checked also just put the indicator up against his face right here and I'm not going to it's not a lot to work with so got missourah about where i want already so i'm just going to come in and we'll see how how far off we are well those two jaws are already good look at that that's about zero and zero let's see these all right we got a almost plus 5 and then plus 2 got a little plastic hammer here out see how it works a little too far about one and a half over its - it's pretty close right there it's - it's about one and a half so it's about a half thousands on those jaws or minus one there zero like that one's about minus 1 and minus 1 that's pretty good there let me see how true we are on center somewhere around 25 I want to squeeze it much I'm just being a little delicate with it here it's probably plenty good for what we're doing but I just like to get things running true okay that's not bad we'll leave that alone I'm going to come back to the face again and check it again see if we need to bump it a little more moved it a little bit don't take much alright we're within a half a thousands on those too and we're well within half dollars all notes - all right so I'm going to leave that alone it looks good and get my tool set up and we'll start doing some facing all right um a tool set up we're ready to cut I was just going to point out juice my deadline with the gear sitting on here and I got three different measurements around around 270 thousands of sticky out here that's got to come off and I also use the one-inch Mike and Mike the thickness of the gear years measuring point one seven seven five really what we're going to be shooting for is for these lugs to stick up say I'm going to call it around $175 we're going to touch off I know I've got to go somewhere around two hundred and seventy thousand or so and I've got sped up order we're going to run 500 32 RPM and I've got the feed rate kind of slow cuz it's not chuck real hard and it's an interrupted cut so I don't want the to grab it and snatch it out here we go first thing I'm going to do is come up close with my tool and then we'll move in on it all right I'll take a white cuts see how here see what it looks like leave it a nice finish so that was a pretty decent cut he's only 25 but alright let's keep going keep it down that's 100 thousands there and it's doing a good job I don't really think I needed cutting oil but I'm going to get some just to try it I'm just going to brush a little bit on keep going with it's doing good either way alright we've taken 250 thousands that's going to leave me somewhere around 20,000 or so but what I want to do is back off I'm gonna reset my zero back off and I'm going to take some measurements on it and just kind of compare everything and see where I'm at all right using my debt line feels like about they're showing 200 it's about 201 that one's about 202 now this is not that's not machined that's just a casting it's a pretty nice casting actually I mean it's pretty flat alright so which through that about about $25 I need to come down I'm going to take 25 and take another measurement and see this will put too you know that feels about right back up to my cereal 25 that's going to bring us real close we set my zero again and back off all right we'll check it again and I'm shooting for 175 3000 faces out here and every thanks bill to pull down nice and tight all he said was just make it flush all right 178 just wiping make sure any of chips on it all right that's 175 there it's basically flush like it is now that's about a hundred and seventy seven and a half so I think what I'll do is take three thousands because you don't want any of them sticking up above I think it needs to pull flat whenever he puts the rivets on and it feels it feels flush now all right take a few more and that should be the final cut 174 to 1/2 so hopefully that'll metal work as I said I was just told make it flush I'm calling that flush okay all right next thing I need to do is take it out and I need to open these holes up and in the gear and the or not the gear but the basket and the other piece all right set up on the mill a letter L drill fits these holes perfect so that's what I'm going to use to align the existing holes I've already got it in the Chuck and I'm gonna get her up Square it up there I feel good with that I'm going to use a 5/16 drill the rivets I measured them in there I'm getting about 310 311 on the rivet so I'm just going to use the 5/16 and pump that works fine hmm trying to try to thank you something here these are around 275 now I might I might not use a drill is that I might go find a little reamer just use that because there's not a lot to come out of there let me go see if I can find a reamer first alright I found me a 5/16 reamer I'm just going to use that because we're within the range of what a reamer is designed to cut I'm going to use that because it's drill a lot of times you end up getting a you know a couple thousands over what you want to drill it I'm just going to use this though got the camera right there where I'm working this quill handle that's it right there well it fits it nice alright that's what we're going to go with remove the 5/16 drill away all right got those three done almost done I can't remember who it was I think it was Keith Fenner and he was going through one of his toolboxes he he found a tool like this is a chamfering tool with a file handle on it and made a joke about using the East and many must have a fast hand or something but I've got a couple of these also and they weren't good for just doing some handy Barone thing like this just give it one little stroke sometimes too and it puts a nice little nice little chamfer on there that's all tool comes in handy I'll come into the backside here hit it just a little bit also alright alright I'm on to the last piece here and this is the one that had me a little worried I believe that's a heat-treated piece of metal I rubbed it with a file and it's acting like it's a little bit tough I went digging through my car by trying to find something in the five sixteenths and I couldn't find anything so I'm going to just go ahead and attempt it with the drill bit there's really not a lot there I'm going to slow it down and drill it slow but you know I don't want to mess up my my good box this sixteenth reamer so we're just going to try the drill so you know I can I can refine that the holes of the same saw so I'm going to use that letter L drill to get it round up which I've already done this when I just lightly tighten that clamp down just enough to hold it and we're going to give this a shot with a drill bit a high-speed drill bit I mean and I need to change up some speeds here I don't want to run it that fast all right I can tell it's tough but it drilled it if I came in there hall and asked with a drill bit it might have burnt up the edges but looks like it's going to it's going to work keep blocking the view there there's the iconic firetruck sirens Hey I believe my job is about done let me get it out of here and we'll test fit it okay got all the parts ready and we're going to see if this whole pattern matches up get some of the chips off of it hopefully you guys can see this and they look like they're look like they're matching up that'll work rivets are sticking through so you got enough that he can cut him the lengthy wants and Bratt them in there zoo so I've done what Rob asked me to do now regardless of how this thing functions or what he's doing you know I know some of you guys are probably knowledgeable some motorcycle clutches that's not my concern whether this works or not I don't care I mean he asked me to do this and this is what I'm doing just like some other stuff you know it's just it's a tested tune you know custom work they're they're fun they're trying to find ways to get a little bit of performance edge on things I know he said what he was doing here was also kind of like the flywheel of lightning he's taking weight out of this so that it uh gives you performance gains on the motor and I'm sure they're trying to find every bit of power they can right now to get out there and do that racing I was going to tell you I believe I believe this is going to go on I didn't ask them but I believe this is going to go on a Triumph Daytona 675 I believe it is I think they got two of them that other building for the race so any guys watch that when it comes on I did I was going to ask him what the what the numbers were and they got a couple of new riders I I can't remember their name but uh if I get some other info maybe I'll post it up in the comment section so you guys out there oh that's going to watch the Daytona races maybe keep an eye out for us local boys here and know that one of them bikes has got a little mod that I helped do and which is pretty cool so all right well uh that's all for this job so hope you guys enjoy it as always I like putting it on the camera for you guys to see and I've been joined being back out here in the shop working again so thanks a lot guys we'll see you later hey guys just real quick what I wanted to add about this I was talking about the race team if if you guys want to watch the Daytona 200 coming up in a couple weeks the team here is D&D cycles factory 675 race team so that's who that's who I'll be rooting for in the race so hopefully guys will get to see a glimpse of us local guys around here all right see you later you
