The motorcycle clutch is an important part of the motorcycle, and its function is to ensure the stable start and driving of the motorcycle. Reasonable use of the clutch can reduce the wear of parts, extend the service life of the engine, eliminate the phenomenon of rush, and make users feel comfortable when riding, meet the requirements of shifting, cut off power, and facilitate braking.

First, the working principle of motorcycle clutch

The motorcycle clutch is usually installed between the engine crankshaft and the gearbox, and its main role is to transfer or disconnect power between the engine and the drivetrain. When the motorcycle needs to start or shift, the clutch will transfer the power of the engine to the transmission system, so that the motorcycle can travel. When braking or shifting is required, the clutch disconnects the power connection between the engine and the transmission system, allowing the motorcycle to slow down or stop smoothly.

Second, the type of motorcycle clutch

Motorcycle clutch is mainly divided into wet clutch and dry clutch two kinds. The wet clutch is connected to the engine through a friction plate, which needs to be lubricated to reduce wear. The dry clutch is connected to the engine through the friction plate, and there is no need to add oil between the friction plates. In addition, there are special types of clutches such as toothed electromagnetic clutches.

Third, the use of motorcycle clutch skills

1. When starting, the clutch should be squeezed first, and then slowly released, while refueling the accelerator to make the motorcycle start smoothly.

2. When shifting, the clutch should be squeezed first, then the accelerator should be released, and then the gear should be stepped down, and the clutch should be released quickly after entering the gear, while the accelerator should be refueled.

3. On the road with poor road conditions, it is recommended not to use high-speed gear, so as to avoid engine stalling or impact and damage to various components due to sudden increase in load.

4. The corresponding speed of each gear is as follows: first gear 0-10 km, second gear 10-20 km, third gear 20-30 km, fourth gear 30-40 km, fifth gear 40-50 km. The lower the gear, the greater the output power of the engine. Generally, the lower gear is used for climbing hills.

Fourth, motorcycle clutch maintenance and maintenance

1. The clutch must be cleaned before installation to remove anti-rust grease and debris to ensure the normal operation of the clutch.

2. The clutch can be mounted coaxial, or can be mounted on separate axes, and the axis must be fixed to ensure the stability of the clutch.

3. When the wet electromagnetic clutch is working, lubricating oil must be added between the friction plates to reduce wear.

4. When installing the toothed electromagnetic clutch, it must be ensured that there is a certain gap between the end teeth, so that there is no grinding phenomenon during idling.

Five, motorcycle clutch common problems and solutions

1. Clutch slip: It may be caused by the wear of the clutch friction plate or insufficient lubricating oil. The solution is to replace the friction plate or add lubricating oil.

2. Incomplete clutch separation: It may be caused by insufficient clutch spring force or improper clutch adjustment. The solution is to replace the spring or readjust the clutch.

3. Abnormal clutch noise: It may be caused by uneven wear or improper installation of the clutch friction plate. The solution is to replace the friction plate or reinstall the clutch.

4. Clutch heating: It may be caused by too tight connection between the clutch friction plate and the engine or insufficient lubricating oil. The solution is to adjust the clutch connection or add lubricating oil.

Vi. Conclusion

The motorcycle clutch is the key component to ensure the stable start and running of the motorcycle. Reasonable use and maintenance of the clutch can extend the service life of the engine, improve the driving performance of the motorcycle, and make the riding more comfortable. At the same time, understanding the working principle, type, use skills and maintenance methods of the clutch helps us to better use and maintain the motorcycle clutch and ensure the safety and performance of the motorcycle.
