Title: The Yoda cluch mod
Post by zevenenergie on 09/01/20 at 01:00:14

Hi There,
Yesterday I took my recently bought savage. $150,- ::) for a 100 mile ride.

It drives great and has lots or torque. :)

Now I want to check the tensioner before I make even more miles. And clean the coupling plates and then put in new oil.

Because what I noticed is that the clutch slips a bit in 3rd gear.
I think it is because of the oil because the previous owner was not very technical, and everything he changed, I had to check and repair.

But It can also be, becourse it has more horse power than original:

But now, I read somewhere about the yoda cluch method and that you can put an extra fiberplate and metal plate in it. :o

But I don't read anywhere on the forum that anyone has done that.
So here my question: Has some one done it? And does it work? (much better?)

I think the mod is one extra steel plate. Someone will confirm.

AND 89 hp???? REALLY?

Nice work on the bike though! Looks great.

Isn't this the one that was mostly trashed when you got it?? I think I kept joking that it looked like it was ridden in the ocean.

The large wheel is from a home trainer flywheel.

I bought the purpel one for parts, but it turned out to be a very good bike. A shame to take it apart.

So I had never ridden a Savage and I like it very much.

I'm quite tall and the savage is a bit on the small side. But to speak of a Shetland pony horse, isn't that a bit coarse?

The license plate says 89 so that's official.
Can we stay on topic now? >:(

I don't think there's enough room for both a fiber and metal plate.

MMR added a metal plate because the aluminum basket had worn enough to cause slippage.
But I think it was 1st proposed by OF.

Sorry Zeven,.. the pony joke was intended to make fun of our little pony bike in general,.. nothing personal

That English wheel looks great... polished metal looks so cool.

Perhaps there is a possibility there. Place the clutch housing in the lathe. and take something off it.
I have seen te post of OF.

@serowbot I also think the savage is a bit small (although great on certain points) That is why I made the rear bridge 2 "longer.

I am now looking for an 18" rim with 36 spokes.

Very cool project! I made an English wheel out of some old steel casters from work. Show some pics!

@Armen
This is my Englisweel so far:

I made the smallweels with this tool I made:

http://https://i.imgur.com/DMgy2Cul.jpg
http://https://i.imgur.com/ifqcfEPl.jpg

I move it by hand. the proces is a bit slow, but it works perfect.

And if you conventionally remove most of the material it goes surprisingly fast.
It works very stably.

So I make tools, to make tools, that I will use to make my fender. Hence everything goes a bit slow :P

Cool stuff. You should do a build thread. I would love to see the progress.

And just because I'm a smartass, "Can we stay on topic now? >:(" ;D ;D ;D

If been thinking about that, and that is why I didden,t start a build thread topic :-?

And its all the off topic jokes, that are the main part of the forum, and I do not have a sence of humor. ;)

And i don,t anderstand a lot of the slang sind English is not my native tongue. Here you have it :D and here again :P

But to answer your question seriously, the build process is slow due to lack of time. And I am forum guru on an another site and I can write in my own language. Writing in English is very labor intensive and is very slow for me.

Just post pictures. We don't care what you have to say anyway... ;D

Seriously, your bikes are cool. I would love to see more. Pictures are worth a thousand words in any language.

(We need Armem and Ruttly to post more pictures too. >:()
