clutch question

[tzsteve]

i bought one of these,
when fitted to the clutch on my ET3 i found
that the clutch cover would not fit on as the centre of the clutch pressure plate was 3mm too high
also the centre plunger had the teeth cut too deep into the plunger shaft
and would not engage with the pinion on the actuating lever.


my setup is a standard single spring clutch with a Surflex clutch
and an XL2  type clutch cover 

this is the type of clutch plunger i have  



this is the kit that arrived described as v50, pk xl2



so could anyone tell me what i am doing wrong and what model this kit is for please
etc. etc. etc.

First of all, I wouldn't use the crimaz conversion kit with the standard single spring clutch as, both the plunger and push plate are steel and will cause some serious friction.

The push plate with the bearing looks to me like a standard xl2 one and therefore to high. One solution would be to space out the clutch cover or invest on a crimaz pushplate which is not as taller.

sounds like what i need is a crimaz pushplate which is not as taller.

thanks mate

If you have a standard clutch, why don't you just use a standard clutch cover with the long arm?

Also, you can get different thickness spacers.

i already have a 1mm spacer on the clutch cover
i needed the spacer for the DRT clutch and basket
yes using the long arm cover

everything is just a little too big

i have a different pressure plate on order
i am also thinking of making my own pressure plate
from a lump of titanium I have and fitting a bearing in that

if that does not work i may buy a Hartz 4 kit
and see how that all goes

thanks for the suggestions


if you say you know it all you never learn
so I'm still open to ideas

I use this cover conversion with a pinasco clutch.  I got it to work by using this benelli pressure plate - it is the lowest sitting one I could find. www.sip-scootershop.com/en/product/pressure-plate-clutch-benelli_50052000?q=benelli A mate who has the same set up (cover and clutch) uses a SIP one but needs a 1mm clutch cover spacer www.sip-scootershop.com/en/product/pressure-plate-clutch-sip-20-pk-xl2-modified_50055000?q=pressure%20plate%20Sip
