How to Rebuild the Clutch on a Honda CBR 600 RR | Partzilla.com

[@Mangamemesguy]

This man is who I think of when I’m working on my 2008 Honda CBR600RR. He is the reason why I’ll keep my bike until it gives out. And even then I’m sure this man will help me revive it.

[@carlosliranzo4706]

Same 😂

[@danejurus69]

I love these videos from Partzilla about this generation 600RR and they have been SO helpful, I just wish there were more tutorials about this bike.

[@matthewtrout1738]

this guy is the greatest

[@groundknifer]

nice vids, very clear and professional. i did my chain and sprockets recently by following your other video and now i think i can do the clutch. this is on a 2005 cbr600rr

[@KordiakDG]

The way you put back the cover amazed me:) It always takes me 80% of the time of whole operation:)

[@gosugenji]

My clutch is burning out, so I decided to do a bit of research on how to fix it. After watching this video, I have enough confidence to make the repair. Much appreciated!!

[@Jontteee3]

did you make it man? =)

[@gosugenji]

@@Jontteee3 Turns out it wasn't the clutch after all, the cable was too tight and had a kink. That was causing my shifting to be erratic. All good now.

[@terrywilliams1162]

Excellent breakdown of the process. I like finding the tips of the trade through professionals such as this man. A lot less tools are thrown that way!

[@johnd1031]

More of the CBR 600rr please

[@christidmas3995]

Enjoyed the video.Well done.Just a point.The basket and inner wear because of power on and off operation.Especially wheelies and burnouts etc.You can file them smooth,but very crude way to get rid of the ridges.Just replace them. Makes the clutch noisy too.Keep up the good work.

[@fishfinder3583]

these videos are a big help, thanks again -sell lots of parts!

[@rudylopez4557]

Very nice vid i just bought a 600 just like the one your working on Thanks for all the tips and making it look easy.

[@reezonoce]

Thank you guys @ partzilla, seems the whole clutch/starter gear assembly is similar for a cb650f, only the design of the clutch case seems to be different, and due to lack of proper installation guides and or videos on that type of bike, it made it hard to figure out what I needed to do exactly, but this helped heaps!

[@SystemAdministrator1]

This guy is good

[@HamedSiddiq]

I will be removing the clutch cover on my ‘07 600rr this next week, after some parts arrive. I’m concerned that the previous sealant will be difficult to remove. Why does it seem that in this video, the surface appeared free of any sort of sealant prior to reinstallation?

[@dsuess]

Wonderful breakdown, thank you very much!! And the part numbers was VERY helpful

[@PartzillaParts]

Glad we could help!

[@chihuahuaverde425]

Great video. Thanks for including all the part numbers too.

[@drewtaylor6623]

Great video. This looks allot easier than valve clearances lol

[@homegrownluv8106]

U don’t have to drain the oil as the clutch pack is above the fill line. A small amount will leak out once u take the cover off but u do not need to drain the oil.

[@diogodomingues5941]

Amazing videos! Great content and really hopeful. Can you make a video for a replacement of fork seals and fork oil? Thank you

[@PartzillaParts]

We will add it to the suggestion list! Thanks for watching.

Is that posible after crack very old clutch cable . Your clutch lever can fall from device inside cover?

Hi, I would ask you how many nm or fp we need for 8 mm bolts. Thank you
Ps: great videos.

You should still show us how to remove and replace the clutch basket. Besides that it’s very useful.

[@jamessmith-pn6bq]

Okay here's my problem and my issue on my 05 CBR600RR while pulling the clutch when I put it in gear it clunks real hard like the clutches are not disengaging all the way to put it in gear I'm running it down the highway to shift it into higher gears put a drag would I go to the clutch is that normal and I have played in the clutch cable I needed to learn how to adjust it

[@Huckstuble1]

i followed this video detail for detail when changing my clutch.
my clutch engages if i kick it into first and neutral without my lever engaging.
my lever wont engage at all what could this be?

[@pepperschannel444]

Did u find out, what it was ?
Was it that you placed the last friction plate improperly ? (at 5:30) ?

[@ivancirjak1044]

Hey man can you please tell me the depth of the intermediate plate

[@kaseyvega9041]

Hi there , amazing video . I followed all instructions as prompted however , once fully completed, I tried turning on the bike and nothing . It won’t crank over , even in neutral . Any recommendations?

[@zidanzidan2018]

Do the clutch plates have a front or back position?

[@aidanburke3738]

IF YOU REPLACED CLUTCH AND NOW THE BIKE WONT START READ THIS!!!!
almost definitely you put that oil sensor back on backwards. If the bikes starter is making noise but the bike won’t turn over to start, then check that sensor. It goes in with the wires going towards the clutch panel, which is opposite what you would think.

[@johnrailsback3829]

Are you talking about the sensor bolted to the case cover? My bike won't start and I can't figure it out

[@czarbomba7]

Great video series, do you have a video for a valve clearance?

[@PartzillaParts]

Jordy -- we did a valve clearance adjustment on our TRX ATV, but no motorcycle valve clearance videos yet. (Here's the TRX video: ua-cam.com/video/AConzWtH8Fk/v-deo.html). We'll put CBR valve clearance on the list of video suggestions.

[@romangarcia8171]

Will this process work the same for a 03 cbr600rr??

[@kawilifezx10r23]

You forgot to mention when you put the clutch hub back in make sure there is no play in the clutch pack meaning with the hub in and torqued tou can not move any fibers back and forth.

The one thing he didn't tell you guys is the steel plates have to go with the flat side facing the rounded side of the steel plate faces in towards the you could see this and feel this if you look at each steel this is very important

[@ArturK1M]

Great video.
Do you guys know what Thickness the Metal Plates should be?
I bought 7 new steel plates at 2mm each but they were too thin therefore I needed to refit the old set. Bought ut from online shop, enquire in progress. Thanks

[@santostyler5576]

Would this be the same thing for a 2007 cbr 600rr?? I would love to KNOW ASAP because im literally about to go out and try to do mine myself

[@MrConcordskiy]

Can you tell me whats the torque specs for clutch lifter plate screws, for 1992 Honda CBR 600 F2? It has 4 screws.

[@rogerdavis6736]

Not sure if anyone noticed but in the bucket where the studs are there are bad spring indents so that bucket should of been changed because they should all be smooth so look back 4:00 and look inside the bucket and you will see the spring groves that have warn in on the spring and bolt studs

[@rogerdavis6736]

Sorry go back to 3:30

[@geocalamansi8356]

I also have little indents where those springs go, but my clutch still good freeplay cable slack etc..just wanna make sure cuz i just opened up my clutch lol its a bitch to put that clutch pin to catch while trying to put the cover back on.

[@AlchemyMelbourne]

Great video guys, one quick question, if your clutch cable keeps snapping down the bottom near the engine, can this be a sign you need to rebuild the clutch?

[@PartzillaParts]

is it wearing on something? Cables don't generally "keep snapping."

[@anurag77719]

very informative. BTW, why do we rotate the last clutch plate by 1 tooth during install? Is that in service manual?

[@PartzillaParts]

Hello Anurag. its to help reduce chatter in the clutch pack.

Rotate in what direction? Any info on shift return spring? 03 cbr 600double r

[@qwerrrz202]

Hey, I'm in the process of resealing my clutch case on my 2008 Cbr 600 RR. But I cannot find a torque spec of the clutch cover bolts. Would you tell me how many NM these bolts get? I seem to remember they need to be tightened in a cross pattern?

[@davidcollins7902]

Great video. Followed your video and replaced the clutch . all went well untill i attached the the cable to the arm on the case. there was nothing. the arm is engaging the shaft on the basket but the clutch lever is dead even after adjusting, Any idea why this might be the case? put the old plates back in and its doing the same.

[@cyberkiller83]

Hi John. You being a clutch expert, maybe can take me out of my misery trying to understand, why some clutchs has various types of friction disk? and some not? and what is the differente between the disk and the consecuences of using the same disk on the entire basket?
I have a Yamaha FZ6, and it has 7 friction disk 1 type and 2 different type of disk on both ends of the clutch basket, why are those different?
I ask because after i rebuild my clutch, i realized seeing this video and checking my bike manual, that i made a mistake and put 9 friction disk of the same type on my bike... it works, but its dragging at little at engagement, so i dont know if that is the reason.
Thank you.

[@Noel127]

Is this the same for the 2006 CBR1000RR?

[@BicZippo]

It will have slight variations, but same overall concept.

[@charlieone2992]

didnt mention how much torque for the 8 mm screws around the cover. can I get that please

They are actually 6mm bolts on that cover, 8mm is size of socket He use for unbolt them. The tightenig torque for that size of bolts is circa 10 Nm.

I own a 2006 R1. The problem i have with it is the gears will only shift from 1 to 2. Anytime i try to shift to 3 and up it feels like it hit a brick wall. this only happens when bike is running or in motion. once its off i can shift into any gear. Please help because i cant sit out another riding season.

[@PartzillaParts]

Hello Ashdale. What you are describing sounds like a shift fork problem.

[@BeginnerBikeLife]

Do you sell a specified tool kit for this?

[@Redfast999]

Is there a certain way for the steel plates to go in some people say is a soft side and ruff side how to tell the difference on the steel plates

[@PartzillaParts]

As a habit, I usually put the rounded edge all facing toward the motor. The important thing is to have all round edges facing one way. Some don't have a differing edge, then I would make sure the stamped side is facing in.

[@mugaguest1]

does it matter which way the steel plates go in ? Because i know that one half is flat and the other kinda has a round edge.

[@christidmas3995]

Round edge out.T think they are stamped out of metal in the factory that way.As long as they are perfectly flat.

[@duanehawks9405]

I'm having a problem with my 92 f2 clutch. Gas leaked filling up bottom end. Was like this about a week. Noticed, changed out with new oil, now clutch doesn't work. What should I do?

[@PartzillaParts]

You may have to take the clutch out to inspect it. Could have damaged the discs.

[@justaguy4real]

0:40 drained the uhl, whats that?? ohh oil haha

[@PartzillaParts]

Keeping it real with them southern roots, Mikeyb.

[@zacknicley8150]

Does this need done after a certain mileage or due to abuse or both? What would cause a clutch to wear out?

[@PartzillaParts]

Usually just wear and tear depending on how you ride it.

[@atheerrazzaq6077]

I have Cbr600rr 2007. The clutch is very strong and usually I can't feel my left hand from the pain next day so is it normal or problem in it

[@PartzillaParts]

Here are a couple things you can try. Make sure the clutch is adjusted corrected to eliminate free play and it engages properly. Check that the clutch cable fittings are greased and move freely. Lube your clutch cable and make sure it's not binding anywhere. This should make it feel less stiff. (it's most likely your cable is either routed incorrectly or it has never been lubed.) Or you could always do exercises to strengthen your hand grip until you can crush a baseball in your hand...then none of that will matter. Let us know how it goes!

[@jonathanlavineduzwheelez]

How many ft lbs torque for engine cover bolts anyone?

[@jerrym5271]

Would you be able to use HondaBond 4 instead of the sealant you specified in the video?

If there is significant wear, but typically they last a long time.

[@adriansy365]

How are you sir, i just got a question for my 2007 cbr1000rr clutch related. So i bought this bike from someone. And i notice the clutch friction point is right down the bottom. Like when u pull the clutch in and go to 1st gear. As soon as u begin to leting the clutch go it will start engaging.(its got hydraulic clutch) now most bike will start to engage when u pull the clutch in and let it go at 80% now the adjuster on the lever doesnt do anything it made it worse. I pull the clutch in and go to 1st gear and start engaging straight away(very dangerous). Now my question is, does it need a brand new clutch kit?? And when i pull the clutch in i notice a sound from where the cltuch plates are located. And there is not much tention on my clutch 😣😢😢

[@PartzillaParts]

Inspect your clutch. There really isn't another adjustment other than at the lever.

[@matt3122]

Does anyone see the wear from the springs on the bolt holder posts @ 3:46? Is that normal? Does the inner clutch need to be replaced when it gets bad?

[@PartzillaParts]

That is normal. If it is severely grooved, then replace. A little wear won't hurt anything.

[@markcochran723]

Hey im about to do a clutch job on my 08 cbr600 rr i was curious about what you said about the clutch basket that if you engage a gear and its not engaging correctly i may need that part what is the exact part name or number i tried to find it thanx

put a new clutch cable on my 600RR thinking the cable was stretched cause i was starting to notice slack in the cable and adjusting wouldn't help. I put the new cable on and it didn't help the problem. someone told me maybe my clutch is worn out but I haven't noticed any clutch slippage. after looking at illustrations I'm wondering if maybe the bearing for the clutch pull pin is worn out...

[@PartzillaParts]

If you tighten the slack out of the cable and it still won't disengage the clutch, you'll have to dive in and see what the issue is. Could be the pin, you'll have to go in and see.

[@markulyssestacod8129]

Hi i would like to ask what is the problem when its hard to change gear? is it the clutch basket?

Hard shifting is usually a sign of the shift forks and/or gears in the transmission not meshing properly.

I had an F2 and you had to remove the springs and remove the nut In the middle of the clutch while keeping the clutch from spinning. There is a tool to keep it from spinning but many people just use something soft like wood to jam in there and keep it from moving, and not break any gears. The F3 may be different, I'm sure there's a write up online you can look at
