Try to use a good quality socket to remove the
crankcase cover bolts as anything less may result
in you rounding off the heads of the bolts.
Once you have the bolts removed, the crankcase
cover will still be stuck onto the crankcase,
Do not attempt to lever off the cover by inserting
anything under the cover because any damage to the
mating surfaces will result in oil leaks later.
There are "ears" on the crankcase cover that can be
used to remove it.
The clutch pressure plate is made of very weak
aluminium and is very easy to break. Loosen the
bolts in a criss cross pattern and do not tighten
the bolts too hard.
When removing the old gasket be carefull not to
damage the mating surfaces of the crankcase cover.
Before you tighten down the four lifter plate
bolts be sure that the springs are pressing all the
friction plates and steel plates together.
Do not allow any foreign particles to enter the
crank case while you have the cover removed.
Soak the new clutch friction plates in fresh
motor oil for several hours before fitting. Also
coat the steel plates in motor oil before fitting.
What you need
Full set of friction plates.
Four springs.
Clutch lock nut.
Clutch cover gasket.
You may need new steel plates if the old ones
are scored or warped (unlikely).
Tools
8mm, 10mm and 27mm sockets.
Tools to clean gasket mating surfaces.
Something to unstake the clutch lock nut.
Feeler gauge.
Vernier caliper.
Torque wrench
Breaker bar and 27mm socket.
Clutch center holder, You could avoid needing
this tool if you just put the bike into gear.
Procedure
Remove the exhaust down pipe of the rear
cylinder (you will need a long extension for
your rachet to do this). Romove the bolt that
secures the exhaust collector box to the right
foot rest hanger so that the collector box will
drop down 1 or 2 mm which will make it easier
to remove and install the down pipe.
Remove the crankcase cover bolts in a
criss cross pattern.
Use the "ears" on the cover to remove
it from the engine.
Very carefully remove the four spring
loaded lifter plate bolts, turn each bolt
a quater a turn at a time, in a criss cross
pattern, maintain equal pressure on each bolt.
Romove the lifter plate and springs.
Unstake and remove the clutch lock nut
(27mm socket with breaker bar and extension),
use the clutch center holder to hold the clutch
unit OR put the bike into gear and press the
rear brake to stop the clutch unit form turning.
Romove the clutch inner (The judder spring
and it's seat should be on this)
Remove the Friction plates and the steel
plates.
Inspect the steel plates for scoring or
warpage, warpage service limit is 0.3mm.
Inspect clutch outer for damage.
Install the new friction plates and the
steel plates in the same way the old plates
were installed. Install a friction plate first
followed by a steel plate and so on. The last
friction plate is different to the others,
this one goes on the outside. There are five
friction plates of one kind (disc B) and one
friction plate of a different kind (disc A)
for the Bros 400. There are 7 friction plates
of one kind (disc B) and one friction plate
of a different kind (disc A) for the Bros 650.
Install the cluth inner with the judder spring
and it's seat, look at picture to see how the
Judder spring is orientated.
Check that the clutch outer and inner have
seated properly.
Instal and tighten (130 Nm) and stake clutch
lock nut.
Install springs, lifter plate and the four
bolts, before you tighten down the bolts check
that the springs are pressing all the friction
plates and steel plates together. If the plates
are not being pressed together then the clutch
will not work and may break the pressure plate.
Very Very carefully tighten down the four lifter
plate bolts in a criss cross pattern, turning each
bolt 1/8 of a turn at a time, maintain equal spring
pressure on each bolt, do not tighten the bolts hard
as this will break the pressure plate, Simply seat
the bolts and tighten them as little as possible,
if you are worried about the bolts loousening then
use weak thread locking agent. It is not possibe
to give a torque because the bolts are under spring
load.
Check that everthing has seated properly and
that the friction/steel plates are being pressed
together by the springs.
Make sure the oil nipple is in place.
Apply liberal amounts of grease to crank case
mating surfaces and to the gasket.
Check that the cluch lifter is seated properly
in the crankcase cover.
Insert the dowel pins into the crank case then
apply the gasket followed by the crankcase cover.
Tighten the crank case cover bolts in a criss
cross pattern.
Install exhaust down pipe
Apply copper grease to the threads of all bolts
or nuts.
