You can re-dress the notched edges back to flat with a file or burr but you land up with more slack in the system so it'll happen again faster next time. Not wrong if you are short on cash, costs nothing but time.
Check the plain plates are flat by placing them on a sheet of glass and seeing if they rock or you can get a feeler guage under them. If they are, clean them by de-greasing then sticking some wet and dry paper to a sheet of glass/flat marble slab and sanding in a side-to-side motion to get the blueing off. Then THOROUGHLY clean off again. I actually bung them in the sink, hot soapy water, rinse with hot water, dry immediately and spray with WD40 to stop flash-rust. You don't want any residue from the abrasive getting into your oil
The friction plates don't look horrible and the tangs don't look particularly notched so you'd just need to check if the thickness is within the tolerance stated in the manual.
Also check the splines on the clutch hub for notching. |
ive just filed the edges down flat on the worst side of the notching, i left the other side as it wasn't too bad and didn't want to file that down which would increase that gap which means more play on the Friction Plates.

i checked both Friction Plates and Steel Plates on a tile and checked with a feeler gauge (20) for gaps.
The Friction Plates were good, the Steel Plates had a tiny bit of movement/gap , this may be that the tile wasn't 100% flat, ill try this on a sheet of Glass now.
The Splines on the Clutch Hub have no notching.
The springs need to be 35.50mm, I used a Tape Measure (i have no Calliper unfortunately) and it they were 35mm or just a hair width under. Obviously i cant tell for certain with a Tape Measure!
If this fails, do we agree that the Clutch Basket kit from "Wemoto" or "eBay" for a (1998) with the last Friction Plate at different angle wont work with my bike? (1996) (All Friction Plates Aligned)?
EDIT: Clutch Hub, should it look like this? Burnt mark in the middle? Roughly in line with where the blackest Steel Plate was? https://imgur.com/gallery/bn2V9AX
Thank You!

Nah. I've been running my bikes on car oil for decades. It might highlight a clutch that was already on the way out but won't actually cause clutch slip in a normally functioning one.. |
I too have been running bikes on car oil for years, and never a problem , if you choose an appropriate grade. ____________________ All the above is my personal opinion, you can see my lips move, but I'm talking out of my arse.
I've been riding, and fixing , bikes for 50 years, in that time the more I learn, the less I am absolutely sure of..... |

Hello,
This afternoon I cleaned up and sanded the steel clutch plates, they came up nice, I did a trial re assembly of everything back together and fitted.
Clutch cover back on, and cable connected to the actuator. Still both Clutch Cable adjustments screwed all they way in like they were before, I’ve not touched them.
Putting the bike into gear, it locks up the back wheel kinda like it should. I still have no amount of play in the clutch lever though.
When I put then Clutch Cable in the Actuator, I still had to put quite some pressure on the Actuator to get it to a point for it to reach the cable.
In whole, Correct me if wrong:
This doing so must slightly disengage the Clutch just enough for the bike to sort of be rideable but make it slip constantly? Causing the Clutch Plates to wear down a bit?
Long story short:
The Clutch Cable is incorrect and too short? The Wrong, short Clutch Cable means Actuator had wrong/ too much tension on it causing The Clutch to be slightly disengaged. Causing the high Revs and no power when driving. Ultimately causing it to completely fail?
If that’s right, how do I have most of the “pad” on the Friction Plates still there and not worn right down? Albeit they were black along with the Steel Plates and stunk! Haha
It’s kind of handy this happened I guess, it caused me to learn and also find the state of what the Clutch Basket was in! Those grooves were bad!
I’ve ordered a new Gasket for the Clutch Cover and I am also going to order a new Clutch Cable now. Do I need to use any sealer on the Gasket or it it literally place on and then screw up?
No more I can do until the parts arrive now I think.
I may order some new Springs too.
Hopefully my job of filing the Clutch Basket works.
Thank You for your help Everyone!

Yes, and yes. A short cable is causing your clutch to run slightly disengaged all the time. Be aware that "short cable", in this case, means that it is too short for the length of the jacket. If the entire cable length is long enough (that is, if you can turn the handlebars lock to lock without affecting the position of the transmission actuator lever), you might be able to trim a little (1/4 inch approximately) off the cable jacket to make some slack where you need it. Worth a try if you get impatient waiting for the new cable to arrive |
Yeah, the actual whole length of the cable is plenty long enough. As you said, its just the internal cable that isnt reaching long enough.
my first thoughts were to trim off a little bit of the jacket. Ive ordered a new cable but i might just try this in a minute.
Also, i was just about to order new clutch springs, with my current ones just a hairs under the correct length and in the manuals tolerance (i think, just by using a tape measure), is this a waste of time and money.
I know they are cheap and it cant hurt but every little pound counts at the minute haha.
i guess answering my own question again is: No, i dont need to order some if they are in the tolerance.
Thank You,

The manual says replace if less than 34.2mm. If they're not shorter, they're servicable. If they are all the same length, you could measure the lot, end to end, and divide.
Spring free length 35.50 mm (1.3976 in)
Wearlimit 34.20mm (1.3465 in)
Compressed length 23.00 mm (0.9055 in)
Spring pressure (compressed) 23.8 kg (52.5 lbs)
Wearlimit 21.8 kg (48.1 lbs)
Friction plate thickness 2.90-3.00 mm (0.1 142-0.11 81 in)
Wearlimit 2.60mm (0.1024in) | [/quote]
Thank You for Your reply,
I think ill try the current ones out, they seem to be within the tolerance, and do not look too bad.
If/When replacing with new ones, what benefits would i feel?
Thank You!

Hello,
ive just cut down about 12mm off the Outer Jacket of the Clutch Cable.
This relieved the tension from the Actuator, and now i can actually use the fine adjustments on the screw of the Clutch Lever and Engine Casing.
I can now put my Bike into gear and the Back Wheel locks up as should and the movement on the Clutch Lever feels something more like it now!
Theres a bit of play before i can feel the Clutch disengage now and it feels much better.
Theres also that bit of free movement on the Actuator before the Clutch disengages too. It is also easier to clip int Clutch Cable into the Actuator now as if does not have to reach so far.
ive attached a "Imgur" link with some videos to show what im talking about. In the video you will see that i have not put the Centrifugal Oil Filter back yet, (this was just a quick test fit).
Video of Clutch: https://imgur.com/a/z0RLZXr
ill have to wait until my new Clutch Cover Gasket comes before i can try it out riding it down the road.
One of my videos shows the gap between the Friction Plate "Tabs?" and the Clutch Basket edges that i filed down, can anyone let me know if this looks okay or no? theres obviously a small gap but when i tried moving them by hand they weren't rattling or anything. Different story when the bikes being ridden though?
Thank You,
