Info Manual

Sliding clutch, delay of power, fuel consumption up. This are some of the reason the CLUTCH system of your shogun must be inspected, and in need of repairs.



This photo shows the internals of the right side crankcase cover of a manual transmission shogun. The release plate cover of the clutch spring has been removed to expose the 4 clutch spring, In order to remove the plate, you'll be needing the close wrench #10, two of them actually in order to counter the rotation of the clutch system when dismantling the release plate.



                                                                          

This is a closer view of the clutch spring, An OEM parts is fitted here, but there are other alternatives out in the market that differs in stiffness like KITTI racing clutch spring, as shown kitti


Making the clutch spring more stiff means extra performance on clutch grip thus improving torque and power but with the expense the life of your lining.



Other motorcycle enthusiast actually trying to replace 2 of the 4 spring with stiff ones to improve clutch grip with less effort on pressing the clutch lever, What they didnt know, it deformes the release plate and have an un even wear on the lining...Its better to replace 4 rather than two.

I recently having trouble shifting gears on my suzuki shogun 125cc, Actually, its been 2 years i am encountering missed shifts with my bike, but one day, i got convinced to dismantle my clutch and gear cam on my own when i was running hard on one day at a highway here in my country when my 3rd gear suddenly dropped to second gear on its own making my engine scream hard from my high revving run that day. It is not the first time it happened but too many times so my reaction from there was to pull the clutch lever to make it run free will then dropped my rpm to a maintainable level for my second gear..then shift again. It was scary...

Here is the tearing down of my clutch system and gear shift cam mechanism.

First is to drain the oil before removing the clutch cover..Here we have options. the drain no draining of oil procedure, I chose the drain oil procedure since i'll be changing my oil too. The second system is to lean the bike on its left side so that all the oil be on the magneto side, this to prevent oil from spilling out during clutch cover disassembly, therefore saving your oil for another use.
