This video is superb! I ended up throwing out an engine, due being unable to figure out why the clutch wasn't disengaging. If only I had watched this sooner... This is the ultimate guide to clutch problems, and prevention. Thanks so much!!
There is 1 item he doesn't talk about. That is the inner spring lock pin inside the shaft that also holds the spring. I replace that pin,(by disassembling the clutch lock nut and spring), I found this lock pin both bent and broken in cases. You can fix this by replacing it with a grade 8.8 bolt and grinding it down to size. Now you gain a stronger inner spring lock pin, it is a mm longer barely touching your spring. Set your preload tighter and safely now.
@@LAHover yes, slips. I’m sure I overtightened the flower nut just to get some grip. New erasers, and tightened the inside(shaft?) spring , 1’ plus by rolling the bike backwards. I scuffed up the clutch plate a bit to increase grip, I put in a slightly longer clutch push pin that touches the ball bearing to compensate for the flower tightening. I noticed a lot of play on the clutch large sprocket. Could this cause my slipping? I’m stumped. I can get the bike going but it takes a bit of low speed peddling.
@@markwatson1970 Side to side play in the large bevel gear is a sing that the tiny friction plate bearing may be failing / falling out, but as far as I know it wont cause slipping. Once you get the bike started does the clutch still slip much during acceleration?
@@markwatson1970 I'm starting to think your motor may have great compression. Try these pads instead www.amazon.com/dp/B095HLBWFN/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_PX8M165D4VKPG5QHRV5R I have seen people make their own by cutting car brake pads as well... I'll be trying it in a near future video as well.
Just bought a used bike and needed to know the details for adjusting my clutch. It's mostly good but at full power it likes to slip. Glad to figure out it's pretty darn easy to adjust, thanks for putting this all together!
Thank you for all of your content! I had never worked on any 2stroke anything, or owned a motorized bike. I slapped an engine kit onto a mountain bike that I've had for years, and it flies! It's thanks to you help and in depth explanations that I'm getting more comfortable with adjusting clutch, etc. Just had to say thanks again and keep up the wonderful content :)
I never do comments this is my first one ever... but this deserves it .great video wish more people did them like this... again thank you for going over everything and specific reasons why
I used an Old drill bit as a bucking bar as I lost mine I just used the the same diameter drill bit as the bucking bar cut the drill bit off obviously and used the part that sets into the drill it seems to work fine and is holding up fine better then the stock one alot stronger material
Thank you so much man. For a long time, it took me a while to start my bike up. I thought it was because the motor had to "warm up" or I wasn't giving enough choke or what not. Little did I know, my clutch had been slipping since the beginning. I needed to adjust my inner collar nut. Now, as soon as I let out the clutch, she springs up to life!
Thank you for explaining things as you go, I'm new on these motorized bike, I bought one off a friend at work, he sold it cheap because he had it all apart in 2 boxes, I've never put anything like this together I almost told him I'd pay him more just to come get it, but I began to watch your video and a couple more others and in my amazement I put all together, so thanks again, if I had to take it somewhere to have it work on couldn't do it, your very understanding my friend.

Thanks for being so thorough on the clutch assembly. It was always something that I shied away from. It was easier once I saw one taken completely apart. I appreciate your explanations too.
Very well thought out, This video should help with identifying what was not only wrong with the clutch but even better stop issues by setting it up correctly. Thanks
Also, can you cover the internal clutch shaft, spring, etc. I feel like it plays a big role in the clutch feeling and adjustment, but always gets overlooked. Sometimes, the issue is beyond the bucking bar, flower nut, cable tension, etc.
That's a Really great video.Thank you.I use a magnet to pull the Bucking Bar and Ball Bearing together.1st time I wanted to re-grease I figured that out quick.LoL.When I installed my 2nd motor I removed the assembly that holds the cable end over the clutch shaft and squeezed in about 2 tablespoons of Gear Oil for that area.
thx for ur tips I just built my 1st motor bike and had a issue with the engine not engaging. after watching this I learned my clutch lever was not adjusted properly. once I redid the arm it turned over perfectly thx!
Very informative video answered all my questions with all the issues that I'm having with my bike. All the issues that I was having with my clutch he answered them and they were very easy to understand. The most informative video I've seen yet
Great video! I so agree about the clutch lever cam assembly being assembled too tightly. Mine has very little "wiggle room" and I don't have any puller to disassemble it. I ordered another one that's disassembled, so hopefully I can assemble it with more cam shaft/bucking bar play-John in Texas
🤩🤩🤩🤩Frumos si bine spus...merci domnule.. De la tine am învățat multe legat de 2 stroke..Pe primul motor lam distrus făra sa știu nimic ,și am distrus și roți pe spate din cauza tensionerului de lant...Al doilea motor merge perfect ,am facut așa cum ai spus tu domnule...Mulțumesc frumos...din Romania,Europe..
I appreciate your very detailed description of what each part is and how it works together with the whole system. This video has helped me greatly. Thank you
Your video is very good. My question is. The inner bearings on each side went bad. When I remove the clutch assembly some of the ball bearings fell out. The bearing races are pressed in. My question is simply how do you take these races out so I can put new ones in. Tried heating the bearings with a propane torch. Then I tried knocking them out with a hammer and chisel. Didn't work. Any ideas?
I have burned up about 10 bucking bars. I finally found that WHITE LITHIUM GREASE works very well. I want everyone to know this as I have been stranded due to a melted bucking bar on more than one occasion.
2:07 I run a spring over the cable between the clutch lever and the cable tube. The excess cable I then tuck into the spring so it doesn’t stick out and poke me or fray.
I see why a new engines is sold for $99... Amazing the big power from 60 cc is only like 4 HP tops... My old Suzuki 50 cc...vintage 1972....a 3 speed auto transmission and put out close to 3 hp....and lasted years....quiet smooth and fast 😮
Also another reason your clutch might be slipping might be the small drive gear. How I fixed it was I got a bolt and put the head of the bolt against the bevel and drive gears to lock the motor up. Then I tightened up the bolt and that fixed my clutch issues
Very good video! I had a issue just in first time I ride the bike, and I after see you video, I think was because of the cluch point tha was wrong. Thanks
A couple of the replacement bucking bars I've gotten on Amazon have been too short, leaving me wondering what the heck I had done wrong. I found one that actually gave a measurement and sure enough, when compared to the previous ones I had gotten, it was a few MM longer!
I did like the video as it is very informative. Not sure if I'd fallow you on fastening the gas tank to the top frame bar technique. I guess that the little bolts were broken or stripped. If so, I'd have replaced the tank.
Ayy hover what material is the black clutch pads made of am quite paranoid that they may be made of asbestos so everytime i touch or get near em i use a mask and glove if you may pls tell me just for clarity of mind 😅
I'm doing my first build and when I connected my clutch cable it didn't seem to have any movement at all. About a 1/4". So I took off the casing and the bucking bar doesn't seem to move at all . I'm I missing something? Is this common?
@@motorizedbicyclerider5296 not yet im thinking the piston might be stuck i went to the store shut the bike down came out and the clutch wont disengage its stuck
Well when your riding how do you know when your clutch shaft has been shot completely? When I ride mine it just started where I hear a heart dropping grinding when I pull in the clutch and it didn't wanna go over 12mph I even had to help it go up hills
I've learned that if I take my new upgraded clutch pads and pass the outer edges on a grinder just to smooth the edges out they move towards the inner clutch disc better and bite on both sides better.
I gotta 80cc anbul kit... I got it to start once...every time after the clutch just slipped...I adjusted the flower nut and the spring under the clutch cable routing point and it still slips...my pressure plate looks like the engagement is lop sided...Its the pads are all black from the slipping...can you help me
1: Make sure the set screw that keeps the flower nut from spinning is not to long (pushing on the basket). 2: Make sure the woodruff key is not missing or striped where the shaft meets the basket. 3: You may have a more advanced issue, this video may help. Good luck ua-cam.com/video/p92RqNhxuSE/v-deo.html
My clutch arm has to be turned in WAY past neutral before it gets close to touching the bucking bar. Do any of these engines use two bucking bars? One smaller than the other? It may be a false memory but I thought when I first got this (PK 80) that there was a big bucking bar, a bearing and a smaller bucking bar but if it did, I lost the smaller one. My bike has less than 10 miles on it and the bucking bar is already very rounded over.
Question: why does my clutch 'grab-slip-grab' to the point where the engine won't start because I can't get a full revolution of the crank to fire it off? I'm thinking the Clutch plate is either warped, or it's possible I could have over-greased the Bevel Gear, and some grease may have contaminated a few Clutch Pads? The Engine is a MaxInd YD100 with zero hours...
Hello, how about if my chain broke and I replaced the chain and took off the lid of the clutch and now I have to adjust the arm of the cable clutch, how can I know when it's properly engaged, so I can started?
I have a new build, and it keeps destroying bucking bar bearings. I grease the ball bearing every time, but within 5 miles, the ball bearing becomes a half-sphere. This has been driving me insane for a week, since I got the bike. I have gone through 4 bearings already, and I grease the hell out of them every time. Any idea what can cause this?
Well done! Thank you. Have you ever find the need to adjust the inner spring on the clutch shaft? I know you can remove the cable holder, and place a sizable punch and move the rear wheel forward / backwards to help adjust. Figured I'd like to hear your opinion on that, and Thanks again for the channel & your wisdom. :-)
I really need help I bought a motorized bike kit put everything on and got it working and I tried starting it and the clutch just slips so I did lots of adjusting with the flower nut so that I can idle still with the lever all the way in and the clutch wouldn’t grip even with the clutch tight. I have new pads to put on it even tho I only have about 5 hours on the bike.What should I do?
New at this as I want to build a 4 stroke. Do I need a Jackshaft with a clutch assembly if on comes with the motor? Some motors come with a clutch assembly from Bikeberry for $299.
My clutch is extremely stiff and hard to pull. I’ve changed the cable routing and removed the return spring but it’s still the same. Anything I can do? Maybe the clutch spring?
I got a new bike with motor and it Jerks repeatedly when I slow down kinda hard to explain in text format.Not sure if its cause of new motor but I'm thinking its something to do with clutch.If you see this any idea what I'm talking about?
You may be reaching stall speed. Once you drop below about 8-10mph the motor will chug. It also plays hell on the chain, pulley, and sprocket. If you want to ride slow you will need a bigger rear sprocket.
Hey man, I recently got a motorised bike that’s brand new and I tightened the wire for the clutch arm good and the clutch arm didn’t move. But when I pulled in the clutch the clutch arm got loose. Is there any easy fix to this?
Does anyone know if it is possible to fit the drive sprocket onto the clutch so that I could run a chain to my bicycles original gear setup? That way I won't need to use a jackshaft thanks
Ok, I went through 3 camshafts that had completely worn out. I welded one back and that always stayed in one piece, but now I have a new issue. First of all I have no tension in my clutch lever, the bike doesn’t fire until low speeds. When it does for it slips on the plate because the ram stays the same until it heats up and than it grabs but have only ran it twice like that. Now I have figure out what’s wrong but not how to fix it, the pin that the flower nut attaches to is not moving in and out with the pull of the lever. Any idea what’s wrong?
Hey man I appreciate your videos. Very helpful, because you are in fact very knowledgeable about these motors, and other components regarding these makes. I would like to go into business with someone like you!
I have a 125cc toatoa go kart that grinds in reverse but works well in the forward gears. Would replacing the clutch likely repair this issue? I haven't been able to find anyone who wants to repair so I will probably have to do it.
I need to install a new clutch shaft I took it all apart but I can't find a good video to put it back together idk how much pressure I have to push clutch to screw in flower nut also can I use the Lucas red n tacky grease for the gears please help anyone
I use that same grease, good stuff, fine for the gears. In the description of this video is a link to more advanced issues. It might help... Good luck!
If you can easily access it a light amount of grease will keep them alive. But the grease can work it's way onto the pads, so after a few rides you may need to clean the pads and plate with degreaser.
I screw on a small blue electrical blue wire nut on my cable ends I remember the first time my pads got wet. Wow I thought I ruined the clutch but all I had to do was take it apart and let it dry I could imagine how difficult if oil or grease gets in the clutch pad
Hey does anyone know why ny engine putters when I 1st start it.i cut muffler ran straight pipe and cut the side of air case off .I tried to mess with carb but the only way it stops is if the idle is high .I dnt like to hear it like that but if thats what needs to be so be it
i find that clutch shaft assembly wear out. the ball bearing inside it will wears out the shaft.
I have never had that issue, but it does make sense. Good call

I have new pads to put on it even tho I only have about 5 hours on the bike.What should I do?
In the description of this video is a link to my more advance video that might have the same issue as your build. good luck I hope it helps.
@@LAHover okay thank you I will go check it out
When I pull in my clutch the whole bevel gear and shaft moves in the case?
What happened if I don't use Round Column Bolt for the small bevel gear you think my clutch start slipping
I just bought the 100cc 2 stroke motor. The clutch will not engage. The crank won't turn. It's not locked up.i need help with it.
New at this as I want to build a 4 stroke. Do I need a Jackshaft with a clutch assembly if on comes with the motor? Some motors come with a clutch assembly from Bikeberry for $299.
My clutch is extremely stiff and hard to pull. I’ve changed the cable routing and removed the return spring but it’s still the same. Anything I can do? Maybe the clutch spring?
Thank you so much, I think I found my problem because of your video. What kind of Grease do you recommend?
What type of noise can clutch assembly make and how do you correct them ?
I got a new bike with motor and it Jerks repeatedly when I slow down kinda hard to explain in text format.Not sure if its cause of new motor but I'm thinking its something to do with clutch.If you see this any idea what I'm talking about?
You may be reaching stall speed. Once you drop below about 8-10mph the motor will chug. It also plays hell on the chain, pulley, and sprocket. If you want to ride slow you will need a bigger rear sprocket.
When I engage I swear it’s slipping so that means I need to tighten the flower nut ?
I have trouble getting the little ball out, because there is grease that is sort of blocking it, how can j get it out without a magnet?
Same with mine
Hey man, I recently got a motorised bike that’s brand new and I tightened the wire for the clutch arm good and the clutch arm didn’t move. But when I pulled in the clutch the clutch arm got loose. Is there any easy fix to this?
Does anyone know if it is possible to fit the drive sprocket onto the clutch so that I could run a chain to my bicycles original gear setup? That way I won't need to use a jackshaft thanks
Ok, I went through 3 camshafts that had completely worn out. I welded one back and that always stayed in one piece, but now I have a new issue. First of all I have no tension in my clutch lever, the bike doesn’t fire until low speeds. When it does for it slips on the plate because the ram stays the same until it heats up and than it grabs but have only ran it twice like that. Now I have figure out what’s wrong but not how to fix it, the pin that the flower nut attaches to is not moving in and out with the pull of the lever. Any idea what’s wrong?
Check out the video linked in the description. It covers more advance issues. Good chance yours is in it. Good luck!
Was hoping you would go into more depth on flower nut adjustment
Thank you for taking time to make this informative video. Great job.
What does it mean when I pull in the clutch and I feel resistance in gliding? Can that mean my pads are bad? Also I hear squeaking. Help!
Hey man I appreciate your videos. Very helpful, because you are in fact very knowledgeable about these motors, and other components regarding these makes.
I would like to go into business with someone like you!
Thanks builder!
How do you fix a stiff clutch sprocket for the motor chain
How can I take barren out of the clutch.. if it's pushed in n not coming out
I have a 125cc toatoa go kart that grinds in reverse but works well in the forward gears. Would replacing the clutch likely repair this issue? I haven't been able to find anyone who wants to repair so I will probably have to do it.
How do you get the clutch arm on the the clutch shaft the grooves it's like the hole is too small

My bucking bar sticks far too out and the ball is stuck inside where the bar goes any help please.
should i grease the bearing on the clutch crank shaft?....
If you can easily access it a light amount of grease will keep them alive. But the grease can work it's way onto the pads, so after a few rides you may need to clean the pads and plate with degreaser.
Can u show me how to take off the clutch thing with the tool the one they gave me don't work
I need help with one of my motor bike the. Clutch shaft wont work are engage
In the description of this video is a link to my more advance clutch video that might cover what you are dealing with. hope it helps.

I remember the first time my pads got wet. Wow I thought I ruined the clutch but all I had to do was take it apart and let it dry I could imagine how difficult if oil or grease gets in the clutch pad
I'll have to try that some time.
