Re: How to Video: Replace Clutch Plates (NC30)
I did 2 clutches recently and it is a simple job at the end of the day.
Good vid though, nice to have a look see if you have never seen the wonders of clutches!!

Re: How to Video: Replace Clutch Plates (NC30)
you said it. it does seem a little daunting just looking at the tiny pics in black and white from the haynes, so a bit of colour and commentary from a paddy goes a long way ![:peace: :peace:](./images/smilies/v-peace.gif)

Re: How to Video: Replace Clutch Plates (NC30)
NC24 is easier as it has not slipper clutch.
Remove clutch cover.
Remove 4 x shouldered bolts and springs.
Front comes off along with the plates and the steels.
The last plate is a spring washer, make sure it's in the right way.
EBC (from wemoto) do a heavy duty clutch spring set thats well worth a buy, i've had a couple of motors with weak springs.

Re: How to Video: Replace Clutch Plates (NC30)
Out of curiosity, can you add an extra spring to NC21/24 as per NC30 to stiffen it up a bit? I'm guessing not if they only use one spring?Neosophist wrote:EBC (from wemoto) do a heavy duty clutch spring set thats well worth a buy, i've had a couple of motors with weak springs.

Re: How to Video: Replace Clutch Plates (NC30)
the 24 has coil springs unlike the 30 with diaphragm springs, so to stiffen things up you'd have to replace all springs

Re: How to Video: Replace Clutch Plates (NC30)
is it possible to use NC30 slipper components in a NC24?
I have to be quite accurate rev-matching while gearing down before corners. Are slippers for lazy people? :)

Re: How to Video: Replace Clutch Plates (NC30)
The outer basket is the same on both bikes so I don't see why you couldn't transplant the middle out of the 30.
Although the NC30 clutch isn't like modern bike slipper clutches, unless you have componenets knocking around to do it I wouldn't bother.
Slipper clutch isn't substituion for good riding technique.
If it's becomming an issue maybe your riding too fast for the road?

Re: How to Video: Replace Clutch Plates (NC30)
They use 4 coil springs.. EBC do a heavy duty set for pennies that are stiff as a corpse. Great springs if you have a strong hand.. if not you'll get one using them.. clutch is strong enough to pull a caravansuperlite wrote:Out of curiosity, can you add an extra spring to NC21/24 as per NC30 to stiffen it up a bit?
