MOPED ARMY

The back side just looks like a regular pedal v1 clutch, everything the same except that extra plate with the teeth is riveted onto the side on top of the starter face using the same rivets that go through the clutch. If you look at Todd's pics, that's exactly what he did, took the machined hub out and welded it in, not a bad idea.

I gotta use the taper crank because I need a needle bearing con rod, I've already got the new crank, it's really very simple to just machine a bushing with the taper on both sides, cut a pocket into the front and either tack or maybe drill and tap the 4 holes where it's riveted now.

I'm gonna do a full rebuild anyhow since I gotta swap cranks so I'll update next week after I get back from vacation.

Hi just use this on your setup instead of doing all that wacky work

Oh frig me, I knew I had seen that! I had a very concrete idea in my head that it was a washer-like dingus but I couldn't figure out where I got that idea.

Perfect, thanks!

THIS THIS THIS

ID BUY A FEW AND THROW A KTM CLUTCH IN MY BIKE

edit: i just realize you werent talking about a e50, im 12 hrs in a 16 hr shift, i need sleep (edited)

Clone it

I've never used one or know much about it. It's an old Da Dalt clutch that Ed brought in many years ago. We had a handful of them. Same shipment that had all the blaster and kamikaze pipes.

One of these was in a v1l here. Skip swapped the cup washers with springs from the super clutch. With the cup washers the stall was so high it couldn't be ridden. It would just buck you back and forth as it grabbed then disengaged and then grabbed again.

Is that clutch you pulled what they call Botanas or whatever Blake? Or is it a ?

I mean, it's the performance clutch in South America for sure

Someone please make a real performance clutch for a V1, I swear there's at least 5 of us!

I have a kick and a pedal version

They work nice, however B Barrans was able to destroy one so..

yeah sorry todd we're pretty bust at work right now making cylinder heads. Couldn't really fit your bullshit moped machining jobs into the mori/mazak production schedule. Maybe I could get stuff done on one of our haas hs1s or one of the vf4s in the fututre

Hey there Nik,

I’m going to do a build page elsewhere on the V1 flatreed. I however was surprised nobody asked about it here in clutch land. That’s a Minarelli vertical reed block bolted to the spacer. The cast iron reed block was cut off a 50cc Zuma cylinder and bolted flat to the spacer between case and cylinder. But this is about Ktm clutches in V1.

FR is way faster than PP,PR. Stroke is shorter but a stock FR cylinder will smoke a stock PR or PP cylinder. Plus experimentation of making a port inducted V1 into a case inducted or spacer inducted version has been very rewarding.

Thanks Blake for hooking it up as always!

The clutch is a byproduct of my main project, you guys will be stoked, I'm gonna run a few more this week and once I'm happy with the fitment I'll post some cool shit.

Since posting this a couple folks have told me that botanas clutch is for real, needs to be messed with as expected, same ol KTM bullshit but nothing that can't be haxed.

You can machine taper? Hmm...

Howabout keys.

Wanna try something else dumb and secret? PM me. i have parts and idea and it's very close and i can't machine things.

Blake hooked me the fuck up yet again on this project, I got a whole box of scratch and dent clutch junk to play with. I'll start a new thread on the botanas clutch, didn't have time for pictures last night when I got home.
