Brief Introduction to Motorcycle Clutch

 

A motorcycle clutch connects the engine to the transmission, or gearbox. It allows the rider to control the power transmitted to the rear wheel. The clutch can also disengage the engine from the transmission when shifting gears. The clutch is located between the engine and transmission. Its size and durability depend on the engine displacement and model. The clutch is made up of a clutch assembly, which includes a clutch plate and clutch basket. The clutch is used when slowing down to downshift and achieve the desired entry speed. Once that speed is reached, the clutch is no longer needed.

What is a Motorcycle Clutch Made of?

 

The clutch pack is made up of a stack of alternating steel plates and friction plates. The steel plates have tangs along their inner diameter that engage with the clutch's inner hub, which is fixed to the end of the input shaft via splines. The friction plates have lugs along their outer edge that slot into the outer clutch basket. Springs (usually of the coil type but occasionally a diaphragm design) press the steel plates and the friction plates together, coupling the outer clutch basket to the inner hub, thereby transferring the crankshaft's rotation to the input shaft.

How Does a Motorcycle Clutch Work?

 

A motorcycle clutch allows a continuous run of the motorcycle that triggers the connection of gears to the motorcycle's engine. It is composed of a series of circular friction plates that appears with a hole right at the center. These plates are then perfectly fit into a clutch hub. When you pull the lever, the motorcycle clutch releases a pressure that prevents the friction plates from touching each other; thus, causing the flywheel to spin effectively.

Components and of a Motorcycle Clutch and Their Functions
 
 
 

Primary Drive

A gear assembly in which power from the engine crankshaft Goes out through a smaller gear, which drives a larger gear in the basket.

 
 

Clutch Basket

A basket which contains the entire assembly, having teeth on its outer surface which are connected to and driven by the primary drive.

 
 

Clutch Hub

It is between the basket and the pressure plate, and is rotates by the main shaft through its centre.

 
 

Clutch Plate

There are two types of clutch plates, the drive/friction plate and the driven/steel plate. The drive plate is the interface between the clutch basket and the pressure plate. The driven plate is the interface between the pressure plate and the clutch hub. When they rotate together, power is transferred from the engine to the transmission.

 
 

Pressure Plate

Moving part of the clutch assembly that disengages the clutch plates when the clutch lever is pulled, thus temporarily disabling power from the engine to the transmission.

 
 

Clutch Springs

Short coil that hold the clutch plates through spring tension. They disengaged the pressure plate from the clutch plates.

 
 

Clutch Lever

Lever located at the left handlebar of the bike that gives input to the clutch assembly.

 
 

Cable

Connects the level to the clutch assembly.

 

Types of Clutches Used in Motorcycles

 

 
 

Multi-plate Clutch

The multi plate clutch is the most common type of clutch used in motorcycles. These types of clutches use a number of interleaved driven plates and friction plates which is placed in a common hub. The clutch is actuated with a group of springs holding the plates together, while the entire hub is attached to the fly wheel. The multi plate clutches can be used both as a Wet and Dry unit, while the dry clutch having lesser number of friction plates and also being light in weight.

 
 
 

Centrifugal Clutch

Centrifugal clutches are the ones used in mopeds and scooters, as the engine rpm defines the engagement or disengagement of the clutch. It uses two concentric shafts with driving shafts coupled inside the driven shaft, which engages at increasing speeds. The engine flywheel and the clutch unit is connected using a rubber belt. This type of clutch works much similar to the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT).

 
 
 

Slipper Clutch

The Slip-assist clutch is one of the recent innovations, which was born in the racing world. This type of clutch has two bases, where the first one transmits power when engaged normally and the other secondary splined hub engages when the clutch senses a back torque from the transmission gears. This way the slipper clutch partially disengages from the transmission making it highly useful for aggressive downshifts in racing environments.

 

 

How to Clean Motorcycle Clutch Plates?

 

 
Step One

Wipe off excess oil with shop towels.

 
Step Two

Using a small basin filled with denatured alcohol, using gloves, and a small soft bristle brush, scrub the surfaces of the metal clutch plates.

 
Step Three

Wipe down with a clean shop towel and leave the cleaned metal clutch plates to dry before re-installing. This step should be fast since denatured alcohol evaporates fast.

Common Problems of Motorcycle Clutch

Q: How do I keep my motorcycle clutch good condition?

A: ● Try to keep the engine revs as low as you can without stalling when slipping the clutch, and avoid accelerating until the clutch us fully engaged.

● You can change up without using the clutch with care, dipping the throttle as you change, although it is kinder on the rest of the transmission to dip the clutch slightly.

Q: How to Maintain motorcycle clutch?

A: ● Use the clutch properly: Avoid using the clutch for long periods of time, or suddenly or harshly. Only use the clutch to shift gears, and release the clutch lever once you're done shifting.

● Use the right oil: Use the quality oil recommended by your bike's manufacturer.

● Lubricate the clutch: Proper lubrication reduces friction and keeps the clutch cool.

● Inspect the clutch cable: Check for water leakage, fraying, and cuts in the rubber housing.

● Replace the clutch cable: A quality cable should last at least two years.

Q: How do you preserve a motorcycle clutch?

A: Using quality oil and the one that is suggested by your bike's manufacturer will help to extend the life of your motorcycle's clutch, and delay its wear and tear. It's easy to misuse your bike's clutch, but using it in the correct way can help to keep it in optimum condition.

Q: How do you preserve a motorcycle clutch?

Q: How do I know if my motorcycle clutch is worn out?

A: If it becomes impossible to get a motorcycle to shift into certain gears, it is time to replace the clutch. If the gear shift lever goes up and down freely, the motorcycle owner should plan for a clutch replacement.

Q: How often do you lubricate a motorcycle clutch cable?

A: As a general rule of thumb motorcycle clutch, throttle and brake cables should be lubricated once or twice a year, depending on how frequently and in what conditions the bike is ridden; obviously, high mileage machines, off-road bikes and those used through the winter months will need more attention.

Q: What is bad for motorcycle clutch?

A: The worst thing to do with any vehicle with a clutch is slipping it on a hill to hold it place. Disengage the clutch, hold your brake, much better if stuck in traffic or construction, is to put it in neutral and let out your clutch.

Q: What happens if you don't soak motorcycle clutch plates?

A:Don't worry the plates don't swell up, probably less than. 025 mm. Dry clutch plates lose the fiber material faster thereby burning the clutch and wearing the steel plates faster, eventually causing the plates to slip or stick together. Ideally, soaking them overnight is best but an hour is OK.

Q: What does a worn motorcycle clutch feel like?

A: In extreme cases, even when you release the clutch lever, the lever still stays pressed in. Sound is an excellent indicator of the health of any vehicle. If you hear your clutch rattling, pulsating, clinging or making unusual noises or if you feel something is grinding underneath, this might indicate a worn-out clutch.

Q: Can you burn up a motorcycle clutch?

A: A motorcycle clutch can burn out due to excessive friction and improper gear shifting. Mismatched engine and transmission speeds cause increased wear on the clutch plates, leading to a burnt clutch.

Q: What is the purpose of the clutch on a motorcycle?

A: In manual transmission motorcycles, the clutch is the component in the engine that engages and disengages power from the engine to the transmission in order to change gears. In other words, it enables the rider to turn on or off power to the rear wheel to change gears.

Q: When should you use a motorcycle clutch?

A: The only clutch use should be during the slowing process if downshifting is necessary to achieve the proper entry speed. Once that speed is reached (normally by use of the brakes), clutch use is unnecessary.

Q: What not to do with motorcycle clutch?

A: Use the clutch only when you have to shift gears, make a clean shift and release the clutch lever once done to ensure the longevity of your motorcycle's clutch.

Q: What kills a clutch motorcycle?

A: The most common causes include improper gear shifting, using the clutch excessively while stationary, and overloading the bike. These factors can lead to excessive friction and heat, ultimately causing the clutch to burn out.

Q: What is the life expectancy of a motorcycle clutch?

A: Most long distance motorcycles will have a clutch that lasts well over 100,000 miles. That's largely because they ride long distances and for most of the time the motorcycle is operating, the clutch is engaged in top gear - no wear on the clutch if it is fully engaged in top gear.

Q: How do I know if my motorcycle clutch needs replacing?

A: There's a strange noise when you change gears:This is a common warning sign that it is time to change your clutch. The changing of gears should be smooth and silent, and anything different suggests that your clutch may need changing.

Q: What is the benefit of a motorcycle clutch?

A: Riders that have their clutch in top operating condition will feel no slip or loss of power when a load is placed on the system, enjoy a lever feel that is modular and consistent with the engagement of the plates, and enjoy the benefits of efficient power transfer to the rear wheel.

Q: What are the parts of a motorcycle clutch?

A: The motorcycle clutch works through a clutch assembly consisting of numerous components including primary drive gear, clutch basket, clutch plate, clutch hub, clutch springs, level, clutch cable and pressure plates.

Q: What is the basic of clutch motorcycle?

A: The basic job of the clutch is to temporarily disconnect the engine from the transmission and drivetrain system which drives the rear wheel. Unless that happens, it is nearly impossible to mate an idling engine with the transmission and move a geared motorcycle, which is at a standstill, forwards.

Q: What is the use of clutch in motorcycle?

A: A clutch connects the engine's power to the transmission (or "gearbox"); it can transmit or cut the power. It is fitted between the engine and the transmission, and its size and durability for operation differ depending on engine displacement and the characteristics of the specific model.
