According to the Blackbird service manual discs and plates must be coated with clean oil before installation, does not specify leaving them soaking for hours. I've done two replacements so far on both my XX's clutches following the manual and haven't got any issues with it. About the clutch rattle noise at idle when engine is cold if you can live the noise don't do nothing, all Blackbirds do it, but if you don't you must replace the clutch outer needle bearing which it tends to wear a bit creating that annoying rattle noise keep in mind that the noise will come back when the bearing wears out again is a design flaw by Honda as well as the CCT cam chain tensioner which wears out creating rattle noises on the cam chain between 3.000 - 4.500 rpm, to solve that just use a manual tensioner that way you will avoid spending money on oem tensioners often. Keep good care of her and she won't fail you having a great bike for many years of riding enjoyment, Blackbird engines are bulletproof. Ride safe, cheers mates.
Ogeid Zepol I saw one for sale with 178,000 miles still running good. We installed a manual CCT on this one. You know your Blackbird info! Great bikes, thanks for watching.
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures After 20 years living with BB's I think we bonded really well. Regards mate.
Ogeid Zepol it’s why they rarely go up for sale, people hold onto them. Keep riding!
Late response I know but thanks for the tip about the rattle. I was thinking it may have been a basket problem.
Thank you so much for uploading this video, I have a super Blackbird with a slipping clutch, after watching your video I have the confidence to change my own clutch. Thanks once again from Sydney Australia.
Mark Hooshmand glad it helped you, I have visited Sydney a few times when I was in the Navy....great place!
Thanks, I've been putting this job off for a long time. My original clutch on my '98 Blackbird still works ok apart from slipping under very hard acceleration. Now I have the confidence to go ahead and do this job.
Dave's Hong Kong & China Channel wait until an oil change is due. Make sure you order a clutch cover gasket as well. Good luck, thanks for watching.
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures Thanks for pointing that out. Already checking eBay for a gasket.
Super job well done thanks.
Thanks. I own this motorcycle now, it was my buddy’s.
Thanks for sharing. When i do my clutch I now know what to do.
Master9 hope it helps, make sure you get a clutch cover gasket
Hey, I want to thank you for this video. I JUST got done changing my clutch and your video gave me the confidence that I could do it myself.
Tips and tricks for those of you about to change their clutch:
78 in/lbs for the clutch springs (you'll need a precise tq wrench for this job)
40 in/lbs for the cover
The factory gasket WILL shred itself on the way out and account for about 1/3 of the total time spent on this job. Have something to scrape it off with that won't gouge the case.
Always a good idea to replace the clutch springs while doing this. Mine looked fine, but they are cheap so I replaced them
EBC plates and springs are the way to go
My friction plates had very little life left after 60K miles of commuting traffic. The rings and basket are still in decent condition and went back in.
This video was incredibly accurate for the steps I took, down to hammering the case off with a rubber mallet.
99 BlackBird
Andy Stevens great additional information, glad I could be of some help. Thanks for watching.
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures Your video is coming in handy once again. I just shared it with a Blackbird forum member about to undertake the same job.
@@andystevens7557 what’s the forum? I’m now the owner of this Bird.
What a wholesome guy
Not me….😂
My 02 Blackbird has 150,400 miles and still on the original clutch. Very helpful video when the time comes.
Calen Isbell I saw one for sale last year with over 200k miles. Amazing machines!
Bulletproof engines, keep her well taken care of and you'll have a bike for a lifetime. Cheers mate.
@@Ryzen_56X Not bulletproff, it´s a low compression car engine (near 1200 cm3) with a few ponies (150hp) and 10.000 rpm as max. If you can´t see 200.000 miles you have a problem.
@@Big1_ A car engine ya say?? Nope. 1137 cc not near 1200cc. depending on the year up to 162 hp. How many have you owned I wonder?
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures i just today (April 22nd 2021) bought my fourth XX. It's a beautiful 2002 US model in silver metallic. a mere 5100 original miles!! Love an XX!
I have one myself. Great bike, enjoy ✌
Digger Amazing machines.
Thanks, I have a 2001 and now when it needs a clutch I can do it. That looked easy and was something I was fearful to do. Co.pared to forks or chain or tire replacement looks simple!
Chain/sprockets aren’t too difficult either. My son might be buying this bike soon so I’m sure we’re gonna be doing more maintenance.
Try a cam chain replacement without removing engine. I upgraded mine to a heavier duty DID. There were moments I had moments of doubt but success in the end.
Best vídeo i ever seen for mechanical instructions easy to follow well explain step by step video going to suscribe to the channel keep the good work
ricardo rosario thanks, I’m not a professional but I’m not afraid to work on stuff.
Great Video!
Thanks for watching!
Cool bike. I would love to have one of these super bikes. Blackbird, Busa or Connie.
Yeah, I really wanted this one when I found it on Craigslist. I had a DR650 I was trying to sell, otherwise it would be mine. Hooked my friend up, got a great deal. He also has a Hayabusa!
I’m glad to see people work on these old cbr’s I just bought 93 900rr was starting to get worried I made a bad decision nobody in town has parts and pretty much laugh lol I’m doing the clutch next week thanks for the video
Anthony Davis I was looking at a 900RR a month ago, should have got it. Great bike, the clutch replacement will be very similar to this one.
Tom's Tinkering and Adventures glad to hear that doesn’t look to hard I’m ready to get mine on the road again they are definitely good looking bikes keep the vids coming love the good vibes and info have a good Easter brother
Hello this is really nice and helpful video thanks a lot
abid saleem thanks for watching.
Hey nice job Tom,, I was rolling a long and a video came up from a year ago..
Tom smales thanks for catching up.
Nice job
Team Racing thanks for watching.
Very nice! Now all I need to do is get a Blackbird
I highly recommend it!
I notice the APE HT-900 PRO CCT. One of the best CCTs you can fit to a Bird
Yeah, put that in as a precaution. Didn’t want a failure

@@DomMollik Obrigado por assistir meu vídeo
Got the x11, which is very similar, but much rather. Thanks for the video, hopefully won't need it.
Peter Lewis hopefully not. Great bikes.
Had one also, now I got two BB's in my garage, guess I got a thing for XX's. X11 great awesome bike and shares the same issues as BB's, service on them are similar. I suggest you buy engine carbon protection covers from carbonadi they look very good and you can put them also in BB's. Cheers mate, safe riding.
Top top very top
rui salvador thanks for watching.
Good video you friend ai
Thanks for the visit
Interesting but I think one metal plate was inserted the wrong way. Smooth side in sharp side out.
We might have to check that, my son currently owns the bike.
Hi Tom !
I just subscribed. ( I try and support all fellow veterans ).

Hope you head on over .
Thanks so much 🤠🔪🇺🇸
tubes5150 nice, thanks for your service! I will check your channel out, I have a collection of knives.
Yes !!!
Can’t wait to see them 🤠🔪❤️🇺🇸
thanks for guide, im about to do clutch on my x11 because clutch is slipping on high rpms, but im wondering do i need to replace pressure plates also or is friction plates and springs enought? bike has 100000km on clock.
Really no way to know until you take it apart. I usually just replace it all, you’re in there so it just makes sense.
Great video! Btw, did the new clutch fix the gearing problem?
Tiankai Yin the bike is working better than ever! Thanks for watching.
Even your hans were drenched with dirty oil, After viewing 'old Motoguzzi's Dry Clutch replacements（Involved with Shaft Drive Unit), We could find Honda's are in such a easy family.
MENMEN TANTAN a bit of dirty oil isn’t going to hurt the clutch on a Honda. Moto Guzzi is absolutely a different animal.
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures Exactly. This is the point of my hesitation to Buy 'Motoguzzi V11 Le man'
MENMEN TANTAN well a lot of people like to say that Moto Guzzi has soul and Honda doesn’t. I guess when you’re doing complex maintenance, that’s what you have to tell yourself? 😂 Let me know what you end up with!
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures
Thanks for paying attention to my personal issue. I am a 60 Years old Japanese rider living in Hamamatsu City, where Yamaha Honda Suzuki main factories in my neighbor.
I have a Honda Black Bird and BMW(K) in my garage. and planning to add Moto Guzzi V11. - maybe I am being controlled by sales pressure (why don't you try beautiful sound of the last Motoguzzi Old Schools? this might be the last opportunity of yours)
And at the same time, I doubt my skill and performance is good enough to add one more complex machine? or it look ridiculous to add. complex toy - ?
As young kids used to say (BONSAI BIKE) when old guy 'Just Purchase' a complex bike and - Not Using JUst Display (= Bonsai) haha TKS for reading. ..
@@menmentantan5591 Awesome. I have a son stationed in Okinawa, he's into motorcycles as well. Japanese motorcycle culture is interesting, I have been to Okinawa and mainland Japan a few times and always enjoy seeing how different it is to the USA. I've never owned a MG, but always been intrigued by them and see some of the used one locally going for what I consider a reasonable price. Maybe some day, but today I'm looking at an RC51.
never thought changing clutch would be that easy. what are the torque specs for basket bolts and clutch cover?
thank you for sharing.
ehsan83 78 in/lbs for the basket. 40 in/lbs for the cover.
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures excellent thank you again
ehsan83 I just found them on a Blackbird forum, you may want to double check.
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures Forum post: www.cbr1100xx.org/forums/index.php?/topic/71793-inch-lbsft-lbs/ Make SURE you have a tq wrench that can do in/lbs or you risk snapping the bolts.
Hi had a rattle noise coming from underneath centre, disappeared when clutch lever pulled in whilst riding bike so I looked at clutch plates bolts springs all ok, then put everything back together in the right order, but clutch lever now wont pull in. Also took basket off to look at bearing all ok Cleaned out slave cylinder, push rod , rebleed slave cylinder , clutch lever still stiff, did move in ok when bled clutch but stiff when tighten bleed valve. Any ideas to fix ? thanks😒
There’s so many things, it’s just too difficult to tell. Sounds like it’s in the hydraulic system, either the master or slave cylinder.
think hydraulic side is ok as lever moves in when seperate slave cylinder from sprocket cover (piston moves freely) and again moves in when master c banjo nut is cracked open
@@InvictaHorizonJFM83 Well then you need to take a look at whatever else you took apart. It was working before you got into the clutch, so take your time and reference the manual. Good luck.
Birds are prone to clutch problems which I put down to burn outs with linked brakes and synthetic oil.
How would I know that?
TBone MC 😀. I know my buddy doesn’t do burnouts but he got this bike used so who knows?
What is the issue with synthetic oil?
Hi from Argentina! I am considering getting a Blackbird. They cost about USD 10-12K here with 30000 to 50000 kms. Are those too many kms? Should I wait for a unicorn with 15K to appear or just go ahead and get a 50K one?
Hi, always great to see people around the world watching! I have seen several of these bikes with very high miles. Obviously lower is probably better but a well maintained higher mileage bike is a good choice. Good luck finding the one you want.
As long as it is maintained, mileage doesn't matter much on the Blackbird.
Instead of cooking spray could you just maybe just smear a thing layer of clean oil on each side of the clutch gasket?
The cooking spray seems to work great but give the oil a try.
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures thank you! Very informative video! I'm looking at getting one soon if I find a clean one here in South Africa. Great video 🤙
@@officialbuggutz it’s a great bike, hope you find a good one.
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures thank you sir. I appreciate that!
Hi, from the UK. Rather belated comment on my part, but clearly, the predecessor of the current elect President did not have or applied 'common sense' whilst in office!!! Good God, what a pity! No offence intended. Nice, clear, tutional video. Need to get myself a Blackbird.
Thanks for watching.
Use a hook tool much easier
On which item? I probably have one, really need to be better organized! Thanks.
Did you take off a wire?
darren cycles hmm, I don’t think so?
@@TomsTinkeringandAdventures there's a clip inside there before the last clutch plate. Holds in the last plate.
Thanks Tom.
darren cycles I will look into that, thanks.
Yea part 13 on dirigram
I got a question about this bike I own one
Well my son owns this one now, ask away.
I’ve got 1997 , I bought it from a guy who had just changed the clutch, and he had bought it from a guy who had changed it a couple times. The bike will change gears smoothly but slips under hard throttle. But if u release some air from the clutch valve (think that’s what it’s called) it will run right for a little while. I’ve had people tell me to change the oil to synthetic which I did, but it’s still doing it. Any ideas?
@@lifeasatrucker3825 well if bleeding out the clutch cylinder makes it work for a while, then I would believe that your problem is in that area. It’s a pretty simple system. Maybe you just need to rebuild one of the cylinders ?
Thanks I appreciate the information I’ll UA-cam what it is I need to do lol
@@lifeasatrucker3825 my first suggestion would be to rebuild the clutch master cylinder. There is a “release hole” in it that can get gunked up over time causing it to hold pressure. The parts are not expensive and it’s pretty easy to work on. Need to get a good circlip pliers, that’s about it.
