Boss Clutch Tool

[Hubris]

I'm going to be swapping the standard clutch on my MT-09 with replacement plates and packs and converting into a slipper, which requires the use of a clutch holder tool (like this https://www.amazon.com/Motion-Pro-08.../dp/B000HS4NA8).

I'm not going to make doing things like this a norm, and I'd rather not buy a tool for one use. Anybody know if they can be rented, or better-still, do you have one I could borrow?

I'm assuming you have to remove the center nut retaining the clutch.

The quick and dirty way is to remove all plates and hold the hub with a pair of vice grips - ensuring you're up against an internal web in case things move.
Then use a rattle gun.

Any gynecologist should be able to help with one of those tools.

Easy enough to make one

That diagram does make it look pretty easy to fab something.

Just obviously (more obvious in hindsight it seems for some) don't let anything lever against outer basket fingers or they will break off and you will remember the first part of this sentence and groan.

Rattlegun can sometimes be used with rag and block of wood pushing against loaded plates. But have it in gear on a stand and seriously consider where your fingers are at when using turny type force. Rattle guns make this much easier.
Sometimes things don't want to move and you need solid holder and a rattle.

Far easier to leave the plates in place and push inwards on them (thereby using their friction to stop the hub turning) while using the rattle gun.

Just buy the proper tool and do it safely. No risk of damage to the hub or basket and you're still going to have to find a way to hold it when refitting. I bought an EBC one from E-bay. Far cheaper than replacing a damaged part (eg a replacement basket is $US495) .https://www.ebay.com/itm/Yamaha-MT-0...-/401093665736

I ordered one specifically for the clutch pattern on my bike, just arrived late last week. When I get a free moment I'll put it to use.

Your clutch hub will thank you for it. When I did the clutch on the KLR, the tightening torque is given as 96 ft/lb. The factory possibly only saw this a suggestion as I had a metre long pipe on the end of a 450mm 1/2" drive breaker bar and it still took a goodly heave to crack the nut loose. There's no way I could have done it without the correct hub holder.
