Описание: Yamaha R15 V3 clutch plate change


Changing the clutch plate on a Yamaha R15 V3 involves a step-by-step process. Here’s a description of the procedure:

Tools Required:
• Wrenches (to remove bolts)
• Torque wrench
• Screwdrivers
• Clutch puller tool (optional)
• New clutch plates (friction plates and steel plates)
• Oil drain pan
• New engine oil

Procedure:

1. Preparation:
• Ensure safety: Place the bike on a stable stand or lift.
• Disconnect the battery: For safety, disconnect the negative terminal of the battery.
• Drain the oil: Remove the drain plug and drain the engine oil into a container to avoid any mess.

2. Remove the Clutch Cover:
• Remove the screws or bolts securing the clutch cover (located on the left side of the engine).
• Carefully pull off the cover. You may need to gently tap it with a rubber mallet to loosen it if it’s stuck.

3. Remove the Clutch Assembly:
• Loosen the clutch cable: Disconnect the clutch cable from the lever, ensuring you have slack to remove it from the bike.
• Remove the clutch springs and bolts: You’ll find the clutch springs held in place with bolts. Remove these bolts (in a crisscross pattern) to prevent uneven pressure on the clutch.
• Take out the clutch pressure plate: Once the bolts are removed, gently pull out the pressure plate.
• Remove the clutch plates: The friction plates and steel plates will be stacked inside. Remove them one by one.

4. Inspect the Components:
• Inspect the clutch basket: Check for wear or damage. Clean the basket if necessary.
• Check for excessive wear on the steel plates: If they have any discoloration or grooves, they should be replaced.
• Inspect the pressure plate and springs: If they are damaged or worn, replace them as well.

5. Install the New Clutch Plates:
• Soak the new friction plates: Before installation, soak the new friction plates in the engine oil to ensure proper lubrication.
• Stack the plates: Place the new friction plates and steel plates in the same order as they were originally. Ensure they fit correctly in the basket.
• Reinstall the pressure plate: Carefully place the pressure plate back and secure it with the clutch springs. Tighten the bolts in a crisscross pattern to ensure even pressure.

6. Reassemble the Clutch Cover:
• Once the clutch assembly is securely in place, reinstall the clutch cover. Make sure to replace the gasket if needed to prevent leaks.
• Tighten all the screws or bolts securing the cover.

7. Reinstall the Clutch Cable:
• Attach the clutch cable to the lever, adjusting the slack as necessary.

8. Refill the Engine Oil:
• Pour in the recommended amount and type of engine oil. Check the oil level and top up if necessary.

9. Test the Clutch:
• Before riding, make sure the clutch lever operates smoothly and there’s no slipping.
• Start the bike and test the clutch functionality by shifting through gears.

10. Final Check:
• Ensure that there are no oil leaks around the clutch cover.
• Test ride the bike in a controlled environment to ensure everything works properly.

Additional Tips:
• Ensure you use genuine Yamaha replacement parts for the best performance.
• Always torque the bolts to the manufacturer’s specifications to avoid over-tightening.
• Take extra care when reinstalling the clutch cable to avoid any issues with smooth operation.

This procedure should guide you through a successful clutch plate change for your Yamaha R15 V3.
