Tony makes an excellent teacher and has family friendly content. My seven year old daughter loves your videos. I love how she went from playing with Barbie dolls to wanting a lathe, so what any dad does for their kids I went ahead and ordered a mini lathe. Thanks Tony you helped me bond with my babygirl ❤️
I think it goes both ways with Tony's content, a friend's son went from playing with the lathe to wanting a Barbie. All kidding aside the next move is to lathe the Barbie.
if you think it's funny because haha fart noises then it's appealing to your inner child. if it's funny because you sympathize with it, then it's appealing to your inner adult. that is the looney toons formula.
Great Video, .. as always. Just some hints for viewers who'd like to work on their motorbike-clutch too. 1. As Tony mentioned, remember the assembly-order for reassembling, yes it does make a difference. 2. some manufacturers implemented the clutch pack with a "facing-order" as well. meaning, that it's important to have plates facing inward and outward to spec. those are usually marked as well. if in doubt have a look at a service manual, or (if no manual available) at some online-shops, that might just have close-ups of the plates, to look for markings. 3. any wet-clutch does "behave" a bit differently with different oil-temperatures (yes, wet means, it's running in oil... engine oil, though), therefore, if you're having trouble with your clutch slipping at higher temperatures you might consider a different oil (somewhere in the range of manufacturers oil-specs, mind you). some OEM-clutches are famous for slipping with the "wrong" oil. 4. the "cold-play" of the clutch-lever (so the physical clutch-engagenment) might be different from the "hot-play". one should consider this when trying to minimize the play whilst assembly by shmming. A zero cold-play might result in slipping when hot. (might! it all depends on how it's manufactured) 5. all the above-mentioned relates to the whole "chain of engagement" as well. as a rule of thumb. adjust the play to a point where you have like a 5mm of dead-way on your clutch lever (somewhere in the middle of the length of the lever itself / where your middlefinger touches the lever). Then run it, until hot, measure the dead-way again and see if it increases or decreases. this gives you a good idea on how much more to reduce play between parts, if you're chasing the last 1/10ths. 6. yes, there's plenty of debate on whether synthetic or mineral oil is best for proper clutch operation.... no there's no conclusion yet (i wonder why :-P) 7. yes, smooth clutch-operation helps for long-term satisfaction. .-) 8. no i'm not a certified expert on this matter, just wrenching a lot and taking stuff seriously. 9. yes, i'm german, if you find any spelling mistakes or sentences oddly put together, .. feel free to keep 'em. Cheers, S.
"something something MOTORCYCLE CLUTCH!" This is why we subscribe, because you take the channel seriously and put effort into every aspect of the videos, right down to using proper, descriptive titles.
What really I find exciting is getting what you expect, which is the unexpected, but hey we've all pulled that little bit too much and released a bit of gas, maybe the young 'uns haven't had that experience, but something to look forward to. But what's really annoying, really, really annoying... he's so much better than me. In fact much better than I will ever be. Except I can fart for longer.
I love the way you cut shots early, i don’t know why it works but it just adds a layer of comedy, it’s unique too. Great video as well, I love any type of content you make
He's a clever boy. Have you noticed that some people are copying him? Some with due credit (Ca Lem -- excellent!) , some clueless, and some just rips. We should catalogue them.
Very good description and technical explanation of a multiplate wet clutch. From an old mechanic, the only advice I would add for someone brave enough to open one, is to use your eyes and nose when evaluating the condition. Smell the oil, if it smells burnt, strike one... look for blue/heat spots on the plate, (smooth metal parts). Not to get bi-purpose on you, but automatic transmissions use very similar multiplate clutches in their clutch packs. But everyone knows automatics are half black magic, half voodoo and half FM principal, (effing magic). Well, done, as usual, even though it was about a demon machine.
"What famous person that noone but his immediate family has actually seen would you want to meet?" FIFY. Remember, we aren't even sure those are his hands or voice.
Not a repair, not an upgrade. Purely an informative education of multiplate clutches. WOW TOT the Teacher! Wish I had him in shop class, actually I wish I had a shop class when I was a kid. Great video explaining things I had to figure out for myself 60 + years ago. Now I know for sure I DID learn something in my youth. Thanks for sharing.
Based on a video involving a zebra that drags two lions with a combined weight of 750 kg over a distance of 18 meters in 15 seconds, I have calculated that a zebra has about 11.8 horsepower. So, that Beta EVO puts out about 0.21 zebrapower. (750 kg × 9.81 m/s² × 18 m) ÷ 15 s = 8,829 W ≈ 11.8 hp
The farts are perfect, your comedy timing is incredible, I literally cried with laughter. Every day ToT drops a video is a good day, no matter what the subject matter.
2:55 "think about the kids " as an incoming freshman in mechanical engineering i really appreciated that haha. Goes to show how much ToT values his viewers ❤️
Tony, For what it's worth, I love motorcycle videos. I am 68 yrs. old and the last bike I purchased new and still own and ride occasionally, is a 1975 Suzuki RL250. Of course that is a little bit older than your Beta, a lot more primitve than the Beta too. Love all your videos, motorcycles, machining, welding and fabrication. They are all good! LaVern
@@UncleKennysPlace Sounds like the original counter top guy was doing engine blocks in his free time. That's pretty tight tolerance for holding a toaster! ;)
Never liked bikes - they fall over on me, and I never got how the clutch operated. Now I'm just waiting on your anti-gravity tutorial and I might give them another go.
My heart skips a beat every time I open UA-cam and there is a new This Old Tony video...after that is done it is back to watching old This Old Tony videos again until there is another new one🙏🤞
Gimme those sweet sweet tot vids, I needs them, Gotta have them. Literally sitting in my little home machine shop setting up my new lathe watching UA-cam. It's a good day.
I just love your shop time videos overall man... the monologue, the editing, the knowledge transfer... yeah... you could do a cooking show for teenage llamas and I’d watch it. lol
I've always thought that one of the bonuses of being a guy is that farts are funny from the moment you realise that you have them until about ten minutes after clinical death. The ladies seem to grow out of it but thankfully we seem to be spared the loss of this specific source of humour. And I for one intend to stick with it and salute ToT for pitching them out there for all of us to catch - just don't wear your best gloves. 😁
The great Leslie Nielson used to bring a handheld fart machine with to interviews and casually slip one in and play it off like nothing happened. 😂😂😂 There are a few clips on UA-cam, and it's hilarious.
That sounds too much like similar sounding brands - whose ads pop up with such annoying regularity on the 'tube (despite all that they surely know about me).
Every time I watch one of these videos, I come out of it understanding something I was kinda hazy on before. Now I know more or less how a clutch works. And lemme tell you, removing the fog from *my* brain is a minor miracle.
Hey tony, just thought I'd share the good news with you! I just got myself a machining and welding job at backerworks here in Albuquerque. Both you and Adam have been a huge inspiration for me and I want to say thank you. I'm still working on my judo cutting, but when I master it, BOY will the new boss be impressed! Again, thanks for being yourself and helping me get a job! Eric
I have raced and rode motos for 55 years and have never seen anyone "clean" a clutch like this. I just replace it at the first sign of slip, along with the springs, and fluid, but your passion is respected!
Damnit Tony. It's Saturday. I'm supposed to be working in the shop. But now I have to stop and watch a new TOT video. In the future you should schedule your video releases to coincide with my bathroom breaks at work. Poopy brakes?
Your organism will accommodate to the ToT videos releases with time. There may be some temporary inconveniences but sooner or later you'll be finding yourself sitting on that white porcelain throne once a new ToT video is released.
i've just bought a '95 ZX6r, i've ran into problems faster than my wallet can repair them: these bike videos have been an incredible help because hardly any of the videos i've watched before have understandable and sound logic tied in with experience, you've really helped this noob!
That's so funny. I was just wondering when this motorcycle channel was going to show the maho again ... And there it is! 🤣 But seriously, I am enjoying the motorcycle videos!
If something, as I recently got my driver's license at ripe age of 30, i've been kinda struggling to wrap my head around how clutch works. This made it super simple to understand!
I learned a lot from this video! A clutch is something I've always taken for granted, but I love this in-dept video explaining what makes it spin (pun intended). Thanks Tony!

1:07 I can't believe my eyes. I thought you were a real mechanic. Not being able to instantly recognize the size of that bolt makes me question everything I thought I knew about you.
@@jacobg5122 Doesn't work in the US as reliably in those sizes... My Dad's 1/2 and 9/16 sockets have both had to be warrantied because he straight up wore them out and they're both Snap On. His wrenches aren't far behind. They're sort of "speed fit" now. Frankly, I kinda like it for the work he does with them these days (mostly making hydraulic hoses).
@@TheBrokenLife I work in the US on mostly FMC and International/Navistar vehicles and those are the most common fasteners I run into. On trucks, you use 8mm (5/16") for hose clamps, 10mm for valve cover, water pump , AC compressor, and many other bolts, 13mm (basically 1/2") for alternators and other accessories, 15mm(9/16") for turbo mounting bolts and other large components, and 19mm for anything on the frame. Also 24mm for the drain plug, 33mm for lug nuts, and 36mm for fuel filter housings. The lines on those things are mostly standard sizes though. You can do an Allison 2000 series with a 14mm for the bell housing bolts, 15mm for the torque converter nuts, but for the cooler lines you need 3/4, 13/16, 7/8, and 15/16 wrenches.
@@jacobg5122 My Dad is 78 years old so metric is a language he isn't too terribly fluent in. That's really what I was getting to. Also... I will not confirm or deny my personal involvement in International trucks in the past, but if you're working on the engines you have my deepest condolences. Sounds like you're working on MDs, so... Imma see my way out. ;)
Man, i could not stop laughing when you tried to pull that metal piece on the floor and threw in the fart sound. What a great way to start the morning. I have learned one golden lesson from TOT. Never drink anything during the videos!!! You never know when he will throw something in there while your drinking that will make you laugh and come out your nose all over the keyboard. Lesson learned.
Keep Up The good work 👍. I'm a heavy equipment mechanic, i'm 31 years old. I like watching your videos 😉, keep Up The good work 👍 and have a good Day 🤠. Cheers 🍻😺.
I hope he did after using dish soap "I hope it wasn't dawn" to clean them. But from the looks of it he didn't, as they looked the same going in as they did when he was done fixing/unfixing? them. Always good to RTFM. But watching this video did remind me that i need to change the oil in my motorcycle.
Border line spring length could result in clutch slippage as peak power, or a normal feeling clutch that will eventually start slipping. Better just replace them with heavy duty ones while you're at it, instead of buying another set of gaskets.
I always get a kick out of your editing madness Tony, Love your videos. I myself have had a Honda CBR250 MC19 (88) model for a number of years now, I've had to replace the clutch pack myself, and I will be the first to admit, I thought it was magic that made it work. Thanks for clearing this up.
Excellent placement of fart sounds . Needs more cat screaming when you drop or throw something. Oh.....and more cowbell. Still Emmy award winning content as always.
Musties didn't need a new spacer to take the backlash out of the clutch though. There was an adjustment on the case as well as on the clutch handle if I recall...
If it isn't broken, don't fix it !. But what to do then with your spare time ....... :). Thanks for everything !. Love to see your dedication on making up your videos, the way you teach things, and how you Hook The viewers attention. I wish I had professors 1% closer than you are to explain things. I would have learned so much more !!!!!!!!!
Fantastic video, Tony. Sometimes it's nice to just, you know... hang out with you. Oh...and experience the intersection of machinery and real life. That's good stuff too. 🙂
2:13; *rhythmic chanting* "Ma-Ho Ma-Ho Ma-Ho Ma-Ho!" Also, whenever someone addresses it when talking to you TOT, they should call it "YoHo." because if I'm talking to you it's not Maho, it's Yoho... I wish I had a Ho...
Brilliant video ToT. I haven't read all the comments so someone may already have mentioned this... The friction plates of a "wet" clutch system must be pre conditioned by soaking in the correct oil (I leave them over night) before being used. So if you clean all/most of the oil off with detergent/solvent, well, perhaps maybe they should be re soaked before use, well I would, but that's just me. Also, the plates should be checked for thickness (well done ToT) and also warpage (is that a word?), on a surface plate by.... Heck you know how to check for warpage. Oh, remember to clench before you strain. Err, it can help stop anything escaping, sort of.......
Thank you!. I was not sure how a clutch worked in detail, never taken time to learn. Wasn't sure how the plate/friction thing worked in detail. So, Thank you very much.
That's purdy much how ya do it... Been working on scooters fer over 30 years. Funny thing I've noticed... The older ya get, the more prevalent the sound effects become with strenuous labor. Thanks fer sharing!
This Old Tooty, I've worked on lots of cars and replaced many clutches. But I've never worked on a motorcycle. I learned something today and got a good laugh too.
Man I love you videos. Just finish my projects around the house for the day and get to crack open a beer and watch a TOT video you made my day. Thank you
I've been riding bikes for as long as I've been legal, I learnt something here. Particularly what is going on when my bike is serviced and the clutch feels great again. Real bikes though, none of that 50cc nonsense.
Intro made me sad cause ik this will awesome i really wana see u do more on ur-ho( cuz its not really maho anymore) And as i was i typing this i heard the update and almost squeeled like a school girl
I used to be a computer geek, but 5 brain operations and i cant keep focus for coding anymore.. i never liked metal working, i am more trying to do some woodworking now.. To me, it has never been about what you do, but how to do it, i LOVE the way you solve problems, how you think.. and i love how you say something "crazy" and fast cut to something else :) you can do whatever you like, and ill watch the videos.. i have learned alot from you, thx!

Your motorbike videos make me want to get a motorbike just so i can break it and then break it more fixing it.
Fancy seeing you here, i have it on good authority cats avoid any good intention so cover your yard in cat beds and they should keep clear.

I have raced and rode motos for 55 years and have never seen anyone "clean" a clutch like this. I just replace it at the first sign of slip, along with the springs, and fluid, but your passion is respected!
O ring tip I got from ‘Watch Wes Work’ UA-cam- put some grease in the channel to temporarily ‘glue’ the o ring in as you reassemble
I should've read the comments before repeating others😅
I like to use Vaseline for this... then I have a reasonable explanation for why I own vaseline...
@@TheBrokenLife Like the guy who didn't know vaseline from putty... his windows fell out.
i just deleted my comment after seeing yours below, lol i use this trick too
That's just what I do, it also aids when putting ball bearings together, holds the balls in place.
Damnit Tony. It's Saturday. I'm supposed to be working in the shop. But now I have to stop and watch a new TOT video. In the future you should schedule your video releases to coincide with my bathroom breaks at work.
Poopy brakes?
I'm sure you can show yourself out. 😏
Your organism will accommodate to the ToT videos releases with time. There may be some temporary inconveniences but sooner or later you'll be finding yourself sitting on that white porcelain throne once a new ToT video is released.
Thank God somebody still has a job!
I always love this old tony's videos, was not expecting back to back videos so soon!
Multiplate = Multiple Plates. Who knew? I expect to learn something new every time I watch a ToT video, and this one did not disappoint. Thumbs up.
i've just bought a '95 ZX6r, i've ran into problems faster than my wallet can repair them: these bike videos have been an incredible help because hardly any of the videos i've watched before have understandable and sound logic tied in with experience, you've really helped this noob!
The best advice I ever received; The older you get the less you can trust a fart.
You don't wanna get more than you bargained for...
Trust a fart, be betrayed by a shit...
And never miss an opportunity to take a Pee.
Whoever told you that advice is a old fart you can trust.
Just put an oil breather or a catch can behind there and let her rip!! 🤣 no worries.
That's so funny. I was just wondering when this motorcycle channel was going to show the maho again ... And there it is! 🤣
But seriously, I am enjoying the motorcycle videos!
The second I get my hands on those circle things I turn into Zena: The warrior princess
If something, as I recently got my driver's license at ripe age of 30, i've been kinda struggling to wrap my head around how clutch works. This made it super simple to understand!
I learned a lot from this video! A clutch is something I've always taken for granted, but I love this in-dept video explaining what makes it spin (pun intended). Thanks Tony!
Replace those springs! Especially if borderline in the length test, consider em toasted. They're just as important as de-glazed plates/pads.
Did I miss the "subscribe" moment? Was there one?
We all missed it, but it was there. I just don't know where.
CCBigStew Tony is getting cunning at hiding it so we have to watch it again....just like I have to again 😀
I've watched it twice, and I still don't see it. Obviously an imposter.
@@sarkybugger5009 you see he has acheived what he was aiming for, he's made it into a meme so therefore we'll instinctively talk about subscribing because we can't find the prompt
Watched twice and still nothing :/ This has to be a fake account
tony tony tony .. what have we got here.. what did you break on purpose to make another video
By the way your light setup, camera angles and editing makes all the mechanical footage you show, absolutely remium stock footage level. Im loving it.
You sir are an inspiration and an amazing teacher. Thanks for all your videos. Have a chuckle and learn really cool stuff.
1:07 I can't believe my eyes. I thought you were a real mechanic. Not being able to instantly recognize the size of that bolt makes me question everything I thought I knew about you.
You can tell an old mechanic from a new one by the condition of their 8, 10, 13, 15, and 19mm sockets compared to the rest.
@@jacobg5122 Doesn't work in the US as reliably in those sizes... My Dad's 1/2 and 9/16 sockets have both had to be warrantied because he straight up wore them out and they're both Snap On. His wrenches aren't far behind. They're sort of "speed fit" now. Frankly, I kinda like it for the work he does with them these days (mostly making hydraulic hoses).
@@TheBrokenLife
I work in the US on mostly FMC and International/Navistar vehicles and those are the most common fasteners I run into. On trucks, you use 8mm (5/16") for hose clamps, 10mm for valve cover, water pump , AC compressor, and many other bolts, 13mm (basically 1/2") for alternators and other accessories, 15mm(9/16") for turbo mounting bolts and other large components, and 19mm for anything on the frame. Also 24mm for the drain plug, 33mm for lug nuts, and 36mm for fuel filter housings. The lines on those things are mostly standard sizes though. You can do an Allison 2000 series with a 14mm for the bell housing bolts, 15mm for the torque converter nuts, but for the cooler lines you need 3/4, 13/16, 7/8, and 15/16 wrenches.
@@jacobg5122 My Dad is 78 years old so metric is a language he isn't too terribly fluent in. That's really what I was getting to.
Also... I will not confirm or deny my personal involvement in International trucks in the past, but if you're working on the engines you have my deepest condolences. Sounds like you're working on MDs, so... Imma see my way out. ;)
t's "fair-sized", isn't that all that matters?
Tot: released a video
Me: high pitch happy noises🥳
Tot: fart noises
Every time you pass gas I can't help but think of Marty T
"A bit more choke and that would have started"
:D
Man, i could not stop laughing when you tried to pull that metal piece on the floor and threw in the fart sound. What a great way to start the morning. I have learned one golden lesson from TOT. Never drink anything during the videos!!! You never know when he will throw something in there while your drinking that will make you laugh and come out your nose all over the keyboard. Lesson learned.
Keep Up The good work 👍.
I'm a heavy equipment mechanic, i'm 31 years old. I like watching your videos 😉, keep Up The good work 👍 and have a good Day 🤠. Cheers 🍻😺.
Just one question. You did remember to soak the friction disks in oil before you re-installed them right? Please say yes.
Emulsified oil is a killer
I hope he did after using dish soap "I hope it wasn't dawn" to clean them. But from the looks of it he didn't, as they looked the same going in as they did when he was done fixing/unfixing? them. Always good to RTFM. But watching this video did remind me that i need to change the oil in my motorcycle.
And now I'm curious how it turns out.
Personally I find borderline spring length suspicious.
But I'm used to motor cycles with a bit more than 2.5 hp.
Border line spring length could result in clutch slippage as peak power, or a normal feeling clutch that will eventually start slipping. Better just replace them with heavy duty ones while you're at it, instead of buying another set of gaskets.
Heart me, boss. Maho expects way too much from me and I need a boost.
Thanks Tony! :-)
best clutch how to ive seen learned a lot helps uncomplicate power transmission of many other pieces of machinery one endeavors to work on
I always get a kick out of your editing madness Tony, Love your videos. I myself have had a Honda CBR250 MC19 (88) model for a number of years now, I've had to replace the clutch pack myself, and I will be the first to admit, I thought it was magic that made it work. Thanks for clearing this up.
Excellent placement of fart sounds . Needs more cat screaming when you drop or throw something. Oh.....and more cowbell. Still Emmy award winning content as always.
Ok so the fart got me like 😂
I choked on my peanut butter!
It was a little disappointing!!! Couldn't even smell it because I'm wearing a cloth mask that's supposed to save us all!!!
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Oh yeah love the intro😂
We've all been there
That look into the past with the new piston rings helped refresh my memory.. thanks!!
I know nothing of bikes and clutches, but Tony is so entertaining, I learn everytime I see his videos. Thanks Tony! Happy (bike) Trails!
the fart noise when lifting 😂😂 literally my dad 😂
Between Mustie1 and you, I pretty well have multi-plate clutches down.
Musties didn't need a new spacer to take the backlash out of the clutch though. There was an adjustment on the case as well as on the clutch handle if I recall...
Leave the boomer out of this discussion, please
@@StoryOfTtrouble If you like ToT you'll like Mustie1, what are you even on about?
Generic NPC I think you’re about 30 years off. ToT would be gen-x.
@@kristofferbeder Pretty sure Mustie1 isn't a boomer either.
Next video: Maho Maho man.. That song is still stuck in my brain
Love all your videos btw
If it isn't broken, don't fix it !. But what to do then with your spare time ....... :).
Thanks for everything !. Love to see your dedication on making up your videos, the way you teach things, and how you Hook The viewers attention. I wish I had professors 1% closer than you are to explain things. I would have learned so much more !!!!!!!!!
Fantastic video, Tony. Sometimes it's nice to just, you know... hang out with you.
Oh...and experience the intersection of machinery and real life. That's good stuff too. 🙂
2:13; *rhythmic chanting* "Ma-Ho Ma-Ho Ma-Ho Ma-Ho!"
Also, whenever someone addresses it when talking to you TOT, they should call it "YoHo." because if I'm talking to you it's not Maho, it's Yoho... I wish I had a Ho...
Order of business when I see a ToT video:
1. Upvote
2. Watch video
I thought for a minute you were working on a GasGas with all that gas gas.
Brilliant video ToT. I haven't read all the comments so someone may already have mentioned this... The friction plates of a "wet" clutch system must be pre conditioned by soaking in the correct oil (I leave them over night) before being used. So if you clean all/most of the oil off with detergent/solvent, well, perhaps maybe they should be re soaked before use, well I would, but that's just me.
Also, the plates should be checked for thickness (well done ToT) and also warpage (is that a word?), on a surface plate by.... Heck you know how to check for warpage.
Oh, remember to clench before you strain. Err, it can help stop anything escaping, sort of.......
Thank you!. I was not sure how a clutch worked in detail, never taken time to learn. Wasn't sure how the plate/friction thing worked in detail. So, Thank you very much.
The moral of the story is “It’s probably fine for now.”
Ok Tony, we get it, you had some bean for lunch.
11:05 in the UK and my family has just gone to bed and I'm about to wake them laughing at the fart
That's purdy much how ya do it... Been working on scooters fer over 30 years. Funny thing I've noticed... The older ya get, the more prevalent the sound effects become with strenuous labor. Thanks fer sharing!
This Old Tooty, I've worked on lots of cars and replaced many clutches. But I've never worked on a motorcycle. I learned something today and got a good laugh too.
Hey tony make a video series called “getting lathed” and make it about how to use a lathe
P.S. do a shop tour!
10 seconds into the video and i'm already laughing.
Reminder:
Beans for breakfast and heavy lifting do not mix.
Thanks Tony. That video gave me a much greater understanding of clutch fundamentals. It was always a slippery subject for me. Cheers!
Man I love you videos. Just finish my projects around the house for the day and get to crack open a beer and watch a TOT video you made my day. Thank you
6:17 in case anyone had any doubts that Old Tony actually rides, that right there's your answer. If you know, then you know.

I've been riding bikes for as long as I've been legal, I learnt something here. Particularly what is going on when my bike is serviced and the clutch feels great again. Real bikes though, none of that 50cc nonsense.
Intro made me sad cause ik this will awesome i really wana see u do more on ur-ho( cuz its not really maho anymore)
And as i was i typing this i heard the update and almost squeeled like a school girl
I’m not a machinist or a motorcyclist, just love hanging out with this old Tony.
I used to be a computer geek, but 5 brain operations and i cant keep focus for coding anymore.. i never liked metal working, i am more trying to do some woodworking now.. To me, it has never been about what you do, but how to do it, i LOVE the way you solve problems, how you think.. and i love how you say something "crazy" and fast cut to something else :) you can do whatever you like, and ill watch the videos.. i have learned alot from you, thx!
