Husqvarna Clutch fix.

If your pressure plate and the face at the bottom of the hub is worn - here is what to do to make up the distance prior to fitting a new set of plates:

Carefully drill away the lip caused by the wear on the hub - so that a new PLAIN plate will fit up against the back face. Make very sure that the plate fits flush and that NO gap exists behind the plate.

Offer up your new set of plates to make sure that they are 2-3mm taller than the gap (when you close the pressure plate onto the hub) with no plates fitted.

Fit your plates and go racing!!

Do I understand correctly that the idea is to use one more plain plate than before? I have clutch centers with significant wear from the portion of the plain plates that contact the gear like surface of the center, the one in the picture seems to just have a little staining not even significant wear. Does doing moto x wear out the sliding surface needing this fix where trail riding leads to what I descibe?

No. We are talking about the wear on the face of the pressure plate and hub - not chatter marks.

Great idea Andy! Thank you for sharing it with everyone. What size drill bit works best for this?

Marty

Start with a 5mm and maybe finish with a 6mm

Andy

nice tip

Awesome! Gives me hope for all those worn baskets I have!

Been doing this for years on many kinds of bikes. I do the same thing for the pressure plate, you get a hub and pressure plate that never wears. Its even easier on a Husky with the adjustable top hat on the end of the push rod.

no

unless u further define "work" and or "better"

Yes! You could set them up on a rotary table on a mill and make a neater job of it, but you don't need to - and I am limited to only 24 hours in a day and that is not enough at the moment

Don't recommend trying to fix the worn out pressure plates though...

Andy.

The modified pressure plates work just fine.

Just to let you know that this works best with our new clutch kits that come with steel plain plates to face the hub and pressure plate faces....
