The engine drives the crankshaft through the piston and converts the up-and-down movement of the piston into the rotational movement of the crankshaft. When power is transmitted to the clutch, centrifugal force is generated by the clutch rotation, which enables the clutch shoe to fling outward and attach to the clutch drum while driving the rotation of the outer clutch cover. Because the clutch drum and transmission axis are fixed by groove connections, the outer cover and axis are driven simultaneously. Power is then transferred to the wheel and axle from the gear set, enabling the motorcycle to move forward.
Therefore, for a motorcycle to travel, the clutch must generate centrifugal force to create friction with the clutch drum and induce binding between the clutch drum and shoe. Subsequently, power is transmitted to the rear wheel. Because the clutch shoe is driven by the friction of the clutch outer cover, the clutch shoe is prone to wear and tear because of the heat produced by the friction. Consequently, clutch shoe replacement is necessary. However, the disadvantage of the clutches currently available on the market is that the entire clutch must be replaced when the clutch shoe is worn to the point of losing friction. This results in excessive component cost. Therefore, the present creation developed a system that enables local replacements of the clutch shoe. When the clutch shoe is worn, it can be replaced and the clutch reused. This system saves materials, costs, and time for both manufacturers and consumers. Furthermore, the replaced shoe can be recycled, recoated with abrasives, and modified for reuse. With growing environmental awareness and limited natural resources, this new clutch model offers the advantages of reduced production and component replacement costs, material savings, and recyclable usage.
