Clutch System: General: Clutch: Outline

• This clutch adopts a hydraulic control due to increased clutch load.
• The clutch control operates the release fork using the hydraulic pressure which the master cylinder generates by converting the pedal depressing force.
• The clutch itself is a push type clutch. When the clutch pedal is depressed, the self-aligning release bearing is caused to slide on a guide pressing the center of the diaphragm spring. The warped diaphragm spring disengages the pressure plate from the clutch disc.

The clutch using a diaphragm spring has the advantage of little variation in push load even when the clutch disc facing is worn.

The diaphragm spring is located inside the clutch cover.

• The clutch has a clutch disc between the flywheel and the pressure plate.
• Inside the clutch cover, there is a diaphragm spring and a pressure plate combined with each other by means of strap plates, which also serve to prevent the pressure plate from turning.
