- How to adjust the clutch on a motorcycle? Clutch engagement adjustment? Clutch bite point? Clutch plate problems? Clutch friction zone? Torque transmissions through clutch?
Riders do complain about problems in gear shift and clutch plate life where premature wear and tear of the clutch can be due to improper clutch free play. In this video we have the Bajaj Bajaj Dominar 400 and TVS Apache RTR 200 where we adjust the clutch free play on the Dominar 400 which has got a slipper clutch. A rightly adjusted clutch will help the rider to judge the clutch engagement zone properly with will eventually help with better gear shifts.

I recently adjusted clutch free play on my Gixxer SF, made a slight adjustment not much but the difference in gear shifts was exponentially better.
Gear shifts are smoother than before.
As said in the video the adjustment does helps with gear shifts. The Gixxer already has a nice shifting gearbox which should respond well to minor adjustments.
Thanks for updating here 😊
Hey, Did you tighten it or loosened it to get a smoother shift? And can you please tell me how much is the free play on ur clutch now and before, roughly*
@@vijo007 I increased the free play slightly.
It was done on trial and error basis.
First checked with no play, then started increasing the play slightly till I found the correct setup.
You need and appreciation this is from my side💓🙏
You channel is very underrated. You should be celebrated more.
Happy to know that you felt like that. Its a joy to have love & support from enthusiasts like you 😊
I was searching for videos guiding on how to adjust clutch lever free play for the past couple of hours and lo and behold I see your upload. Coincidence?!
Another good video in The TRADITION Of simple, clear &to the point video....
👏🏻 for this man..
Apart from adjustment lubing also helps, lubing to be done before adjustment
And finally my requested video is here 😍😍😍
Thanks

Is it normal if tyre rotate even after pulling the clutch fully??
Bro.. My D400 clutch cable is bit tight.. Any solution yu recommend??
I installed Slipper clutch on my 160 4V from TVS Pune main service center, it was good before need a slight adjustment now as it's hard to change gears 1st and 2nd after that gear is smooth can you tell what's wrong
Hi!
Are you facing this when the engine is hot or cold?
You are using 200's slipper clutch? How is your experience?
@@thesportztourer I feel the difference most of the time more hard on cold, they did something maybe and my kick start is useless now it's free always like it happens on holding clutch but I'm okay with that,
For me they changed the following parts with 200 parts
Clutch plate
Clutch plate assembly
Primary gear
Experience is good the first adjustment by the mechanic was best and it was perfectly balanced for smooth gears and also Slipper clutch feel will need to get it adjusted again,
Also i feel it takes a little longer to gain top speed after 100+ speeds now
Earlier i went upto 128 now hardly i could take it upto 115 or 118 didn't get that much straight open on Mumbai pune old way...
My braking confidence has increased now i use down shift to slow down on high speed in case of any obstacles on highway if i feel brake will not stop it and i love the balanced feel now even after downshifting 2 3 gears doesn't loose the straight line like earlier.
So i am happy with the change just need to get clutch adjusted... I screwed it last time i tried to do it..
In last video you said it will go boring if you make a adjustment video with all details and all of your knowledge i bet it will be useful for us and thanks for all the awesome videos
Bro which engine oil grade is best for hero splendor plus 10w30,20w40,10w40 etc.
Please reply me
Hi Rishav,
10W-30 is the recommended grade. Have you checked this: ua-cam.com/video/hjlOA74EsrI/v-deo.html
@@thesportztourer ok bro thank you for replying
Thanks for sharing this informative video
Excepting more videos like this 🤩🔥
I have seen your previous apache videos.
May I know how is the new rtr 200 bs6. Will it be suitable for occasional long rides without heating engine much .
Or it would be better to go for fz 25 (yet to launch)
I am looking for reliable engine, good quality parts (no vibration or loosing of parts), service spares availability to fix it at local mechanic. No degrade in engine performance after continuously driving 200km. Thanks in advance.
i have been riding rtr 200 bs4 its supersmooth even after 15000km
clutch is superlight too (no hand pain in traffic)
and the exhaust note makes me ride it more n more everyday
just maintain it well
yamaha is not as feature packed as rtr is
just get the rtr 2004v bs6 its a gem of bikes under 1.5lacs
Bro does this clutch adjustment matters in speed also???
Aap hindi mai video bnayenge to sbhi ko smjh mai aayega..
i feel very sad for finding this channel too late.....i bought apache rtr 200 bs4 model last year and i didnt maintained it properly.....now old power of the bike is gone..recently due to the lockdown i didnt start my bike for like 50 days and now when i start the bike .....more sound come from the engine than usual ..nd when i put the bike in double stand and start shift the gear the chain keeps making ratling sound nd some times its not straight makes wave formation..disc pad gone ...rust on disc nd other things .......i hope if there is any analyst centre like where i can get full analyst on my bike so i can revive it back..service centre in my region only does something only if i tell them....
chain has rust or dirt on - clean and lubricate with oil.
engine performance - remove spark plug - add some octane fuel additive about 2 to 5 mil. wait about 30 minutes. flick engine over one revolution, install spark plug, allow engine to idle 1 minute. switch off engine.
engine noise increase - lack of oil on bearings push rods
whether thud sound comes in while appyng first gear ? chain gets wobbled.does that happen?
Make a video daily bro...
Very nice
After installing handle bar raiser, my dominar is not getting started while on gear...i need to go into neutral for the self start to work....what might be the reason?
This movie is about adjusting the tension on the clutch cable this will not affect clutch bite point of the clutch the free play between the many clutch.plates in the engine.
Super
perfromance is down is clutch tight
I have two questions, do i adjust it when the engine us cold or when it's hot? And should i keep the handlebar straight or lean it to the left while adjusting?
I have tried both and I prefer adjusting the clutch on a cold/normal temp engine. Some also prefer engaging and disengage the clutch multiple times before starting the adjustment.
Handle bars should be ideally straight like it should be while riding but honestly it doesn't make much difference as the clutch cable has got enough slack to cause any tension.
All the best 👍
@@thesportztourer thank you sir, i adjusted the freeplay perfectly to 15mm, cold engine, straight bars, engaged and disengaged the lever multiple times before final adjustment to remove any extra slack. Much appreciate your prompt reply
Nice
Can u review..shell advance ultra 10w40 vs 15w50 ..what is the difference between in this too types of grade oil ..

Hello bhai... Apse thoda information chahiye. Recently me apne dominar ka throttle body clean kiya service center me jake. Aur clean karne ke Baad, meri bike ki rpm high Rehne lagi , fir gear change karte Waqt jab me acceleration chodta tha tab rpm jaldi down nahi ho rahi thi, shifting me hardness tha. Fir me ecu update kar liya to almost sahi ho gaya fir mechanic se jake Baat kiya to usne kaha ke abhi throttle fresh clean hua hai thoda time lagega normal hone ke liye kuch kms chalo fir thik ho jayega.
Abhi almost thik hai, kabhi kabhi rpm ka issue feel karta hun.
Lekin abhi me aur ek chiz feel kar raha hun, Ke jab meri bike running mode pe hoti he aur me clutch pull karta hun to meri bike ki ek rpm high ho jati hai, aur lagta hai ke bike apne ap chalti hai clutch apply karne ke Baad. Kya clutch adjustment karna padega ya kya karun me. Ye throttle body mene bekar me clean kiya meri bike sahi chal rahi thi, mechanic ne kaha ke 4 yrs ho chuka he throttle body clean kar lete hain aur mene bhi Haan kar diya. Uske Baad vibration feel kar raha hun, aur ye clutch pull karne ke Baad 500 rpm high ho jata hai. Kya ye apne ap thik ho jayega, ya kahin se air zyada Paas ho raha hai carb ke pas, ya kahin air leak ho raha hai throttle ke pas ya clutch cable adjust ya aur throttle cable change karne se hoga thik? Plz help. I m so upset coz i love my dominar so much and that really hurts when your bike is in bad condition. Plz help. I am planning to go to svc on Monday
Bhai thin hua? Kitna charge liya throttle body clean karne ka? Mujhe bc 350 liya aur bina open ki uper se hi clean kar diya
Is some amount of tyre spin normal even with the clutch engaged??
Yes, slow spin of rear tyre is normal for wet clutch systems used in motorcycles. If the wheel is spinning fast and it needs substantial force to stop then you might need some adjustment 😊
So tell me The dominar has slipper clutch.Which is smooth performer Apaches 200 or Dominar??. Waiting for this answer from long time 😎
Informative as always.
Have been trying to reach you on Instagram.
Should I use Liqui Moly coolant in my Dominar?
Hi Harshit,
I am yet to experience it. A few riders have shared positive experience with that coolant and if I remember correctly one of them was a D390 owner.
@@thesportztourer I ll give it a try then.
Also, is "15W Heavy" fork oil correct for Dominar 400?
@@thesportztourer sir,
can i install slipper clutch on my pulsar rs 200
Plz reply
@@thesportztourer sir,
Is it ok to break the rev limiter set by the manufacturer
@@harshitsahni27 yes it works well
Hey bro can I upgrade my rs 200 with slipper clutch?
You have to practically check that, I think the clutch housing and clutch holding nut is different. I did ask authorized Bajaj service, they said Dominar's slipper clutch won't fit NS or RS 200.
@@thesportztourer thanks for your reply
The new rs 200 have rubber flexible torque coupling in the rear wheel hub this is the alternative solution to a slipper clutch. it works quiet well. Maybe this is not on the older rs 200 this maybe the route to go? investigate this if you bike is older maybe you can swop parts out. if you have bike 2018 the rubber flexible torque drive coupling is already fitted
Dominor manual saying 2-3 mm freeplay then why 10-15 mm?
160ns ki clutch wire ko dur rakhe yah pass mai rakhe kio batao yrrr
Hey Dear #Sportztourer i want to install 13 teeth spocket on my rs200 im a city rider only

Hi Sourav,
The RTR has got 13T, 520 pitch front sprocket. You can check the details here: ua-cam.com/video/hfjWFAUQGjw/v-deo.html
Can I fit slipper clutch in RTR 160 is it will work?
Hi Jagadeesh,

Slipper clutch possible to install in 160 4v?
I am yet to try it, need a 160 4V to work on this 😊
@@thesportztourer thank you
Can i put liqui moly 10w-50 in r15v3?
Yamaha says to go for 10w-40..
Can i do the upgrade?
Sure can
Liqui moly will cause seals to swell it should never be used in a new bike, it will also cause the clutch to slip and fail to engage cleanly increasing wear on the clutch in wet clutch engine. matching oil to engine oil seals and wet clutch material is important. changing oil can be considered if you live unique weather climate, imagine you live in the north pole or on where the ambient temperature is always very high then yes engine oil could be changed to more accurately match your conditions, you would see better engine performance lower fuel consumption.
My Apache RTR2004V 2.0 runs 27k kms in 1.5 yrs.. mostly a highway ride.. i had some engine noise in my bike... Is there any solution for solve this issue??... Im using TVS Tru4 fully synthetic oil....
Hi!
Did you check from where the noise is coming? Any specific time/rpm/etc when you have observe the noise?
@@thesportztourer yeh from engine head... Every day when i start my bike at morning its soo good at that tym my front wheel pop ups when i give throttle... Aftr the 6 to 7kms ride that engine noise came my front wheel also struggle to pop... But there is no stress in running and the silencer beat sound is also getting low... ☹️☹️
Thanks for ur rply
Best semi synthetic for 200 4v?
Any specific reason you want to go for semi synthetic oil? Which oil are you using now?
Ye engine flush ke baad oil nikalne ke baad jo 1 ,2% flush or oil ka mixture engine me rhta hi vo new oil ke dalne ke baad mix hokr new oil ko kuch kharab ni krta
Eventually woh evaporate hojaega don't worry
Also post One Video about cleaning the bike like this 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Have done it, you may check on my channel
Dominar le li kya?

Clean the injector with carb cleaner - you will see and improvement in this fault
Can someone basically summarize what he said in English?
Bro one doubt bro
In this video?
@@thesportztourer not related to this viedo
@@thesportztourer i have dominar 400 i get only 25 mileage per litter 😢 is there aney way to increase it
Please reply me
Could not understand bhaiya
Which motorcycle?
Kudos for an useful video :-)
But in Duke 250's manual, its entirely different. See: ktmdukeweb.gladminds.co/250/tuning_the_engine.html
Why? (I'm confused!)
Wrong information
Add hydraulic clutch.
most hydraulic issues are solved by replacing the seals and removing the old fluid and installing new fluid.
