Aerox Clutch Bell Deformed?

[Aerox 1999]

I noticed that the clutch bell (the thing that the clutch shoes grip to) is not totally smooth it has uniform rectagular indents like it got so hot that the metal was pushed out my the clutch is this normal or should I change it???

I hope you understand what I mean...

I dont know how to post pics but here are some links
the second one looks to be reforced were mine is deformed...

Do you have pictures of your clutch bell? Maybe that would clear things out

 

[Aerox 1999]

hmm no maybe i can take one tomorow, but have you ever hered of something like this???

The bell can deform because of extreme heat.
Do you have a fast set-up or a standard engine?

The standard Yamaha clutchbell is very poor quality (my standard clutcbell split) , so it can bear only the standard power, it can't cope the more stress, so if you have any engine tuning change down it to the cheapest Malossi (it is very good).

Well my engine just has a variator and different exhaust but I thrash it alot...yes they arnt very expensive so ill probably get a new one, ill post some pics tomorow anyway


thanks

even if the scooter is lightly tuned you should plunk down the extra money & get the reinforced malossi Clutch bells (MHR Safety bell or MHR Wing bell), i deformed my old Malossi Clutch bell very badly after 4 years of drag racing, it was so badly warped that my old Delta clutch shoes were bent & you can see it when you disassemble the clutch & put the shoes on a flat piece of glass.

when i got my new reinforced Delta clutch & wing clutch bell the acceleration of our 70 has dramatically improved, when it comes to clutch bells it's always good to go overkill & buy the reinforced clutch bells.

You said that your new clutchbell increased your accelration, this is very interesting

I use the Malossi cheap clutchbell for a very long time (it didn't discolour) and it is in a perfect condition. In my opinion the Malossi wingclutchbell is not a good product, but the Adige is a little bit better!

well comparing my acceleration with my old & warped Malossi clutch bell & delta clutch to my new reinforced delta clutch & wing bell is quite unfair really as the old one doesn't have 100% contact so there's a lot of slippage under acceleration.

at least i can say that a new wing bell is absolutely much better than a deformed Malossi clutch bell.

Oh, I see!

Did you notice any difference in top speed with the new clutch bell?, i think ill get the normal (cheaper) one because I dont plan to tune my scoot that much...

PS: I have a hebo variator and will be getting a hebo clutch so should I try to find a hebo bell to match or wont it make any difference? The malossi bell seems to be the favorite around here
