Clutch Plate B

[TTG53#1717]

My ‘97 Standard clutch slips at 2500 RPM + under relatively normal throttle.
I was running Mobil 1, did a detergent flush and went back to Honda oil.
That did not fix the issue.
I will be doing the slave cylinder rebuild and system cleaning this week and hope that fixes things.
Too include the little bleed hole in the master.

No problem with lever position  to indicate rivet failure but of if I do need to replace that, is this the correct part to order ?

Yes, that looks correct.

Can't believe how much that costs.

But I don't remember what I paid over 20 years ago either.

Usually the main symptom of rivet failure is felt at the clutch lever and clutch slipping can be a symptom, but not as common.

Have you had the rear wheel off lately and checked out the pinion cup?

Good luck, hope you solve it.

$50.08 from Honda DirectLine back in 2010. I keep images of all my old orders for reference.

I've always wondered if you could replace the rivets if none were available. It's definitely not worth your time if you can get a new one for $84.

Thanks for your replies.

I can give plenty of advice on 50 and 70 year old Harleys but now that I’m retired and on a budget I need to know about Valk stuff before I waste any money. I bought this bike new thinking I’d only have to do scheduled maintenance well into my advancing age. Quite a rude awakening to have this clutch slipping issue and thanks to some previous reading here I know I can tiptoe through the troubleshooting steps before getting into the oil.

I did have the rear wheel off last summer for a new tire and everything looked fine.

I have a complete machine shop in my back yard that I have used modifying my HDs but I’ll buy that disk before I try to make and install rivets.

yes that is the damper plate. u will need the plate on either side it since they will be damaged by the rivets.

that is all I replace on my '98.

in '97 the Valkyrie Clutch plates are an upgrade compared to the '88-'96 Goldwing GL1500s. '97 to '00 all got the upgrade. actually it was only two plates that are different.
The clutch packs are know to last 300+k miles in the heavier Goldwings while pulling trailers. I bought a spare basket assembly on ebay, pre-'97 which had over 300k miles on it. I measured the plates and they were all within Honda specs.

check part cost here. usually about the same, but only have to spend $75 for free shipping

Ron Ayers is where I buy all of my parts.  They are $81.33 this morning.  I would buy the plates on either side of the dampener plate, due to any damage the rivets might have caused.

Hmmm....  Pressure plate no longer available...... But the clutch spring is.

Thanks for the additional responses and suggestions.

Some places in stock, some on back order. I’m thinking I should buy now and not take any chances of losing out altogether. I can buy a radiator hose and some exhaust gaskets to get free shipping.

I'm having the same slippage at 2500+ RPM's, but mine is a 2003 w/68K miles. Gears shift fine, but do notice disengagement/engagement with the lever way out, more than usual lately; like just barely squeezing it. I'm hoping it's the slave cylinder too.
