Clutch O-ring question


IROOST1

Recommended Posts

I want to know if there are supposed to be o-ring things inbetween all the clutch plates. I have done a lot of two stroke clutches but have never seen anything like that. Wouldnt, they dissrupt the plates from grabbing one another.

Wrong...bud.

 

Stock clutches (OEM) have an oring on the inner edge of each of the fibers. This was Yamaha's great idea to cut down on clutch chatter.

 

However...I've yet to see an aftermarket clutch that uses these stock O Rings. So, once you replace the clutch with an aftermarket, they get pitched....

Not sure if any long term effects, but prolly not the greatest idea. Stock fibers have a larger ID where they slide onto the hub. This rubber O Ring fills that gap, and creates a cushion.

 

There shouldn't be a gap there....so, you're taking your luck into your own hands for sure....
