sdm Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 I am doing a full tear down on the engine on my TY175 and have noticed that the gear on the clutch basket has what seems to be quite a bit of play in the direction of rotation where it rivets to the basket. This doesn't seem normal to allow this much play so I am wondering if there is a standard fix for this or am I being overly cautious?

scifi Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Sounds like your rivets have worked loose, you could try to expand ( 'upset') them, or maybe get some new rivets. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdm Posted May 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 That's what I was thinking but didn't want to start pounding away on things without checking with more experienced folks. thanks Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copemech Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 There are rubber absorbers in there as I recall, but I could be mistaken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feetupfun Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 The rubber dampers inside do develop play after a while. The rubbers can be replaced. I made new rubbers and rivets about 35 years ago for one of my TY175s, thinking that the play there might be affecting on-off-on throttle work, but I could not feel any difference in the behaviour of the bike between before and after, so I have never bothered doing it on any other TY175s. The subject comes up on these forums every few years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
