Just out of curiosity...

What exactly do the springs on the back of the clutch basket do?

Torsion dampner for the gearing?
Buffer for the two halves?


Had a bike come through with 3 of them broken into little itty bitty pieces. Rider grenaded the tranny so I know some of the force came back through the gears, but really don't know their purpose.



Any logical responses would be greatly appreciated.

good question.

I to think its somewhat of a damper...like a half assed slipper clutch that doesnt slip haha.

i guess that was a bad exaple but lets sat a trampoline

u where exactly rights its a damper... so when ya shift into gear it doesnt slam all the spinning action into the gears/crank etc.. just like your rear wheel cush drive. same thing shift into gear and it absorbs the clunk...
