So, shortly after I left Viedma, my motorcycle broke down. To find out the cause, I checked the symptoms online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seemed likely to be a worn clutch plate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had ridden it about 30,000 km since I bought it used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I didn’t know if the previous owner had ever replaced it, but assuming they hadn’t, it’s now nearly 80,000 km, exceeding the recommended clutch plate replacement time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I took it to Taller for a check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said, “It’s probably Embrague.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He advised me to buy a Japanese-made part rather than a compatible replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I checked the part number just to be sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part number 6, DISCO, FRICCION EMBRAGU, 22201HM3A60<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and
Part number 7, DISCO B, FRICCION EMBRAGU, 22202MAE000<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are the relevant parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides that, I need oil, an oil filter, and a gasket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I already had a filter, so I’ll use that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The gasket was left over from a gasket set I bought when I replaced the cylinder head in Brazil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, all I need this time are the clutch plates and oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I checked if I could buy them in Bahia Blanca, and he recommended a shop, so I went there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, they only had compatible parts, so I searched on Mercado Libre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I found an item with next-day delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The price was AR$235.710, approximately USD 160.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a shame I can’t buy it here in Brazil for about USD 100.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I double-checked the model number to make sure I hadn’t made a mistake and purchased it along with the oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And after the repairs were completed,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also had them fix the stretched threads on the oil filter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During my drive home, I clearly noticed a change in the speed output compared to before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps the top speed has also changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I got home, I checked the parts before replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I touched the areas that I would likely experience friction with, I found that some parts were still thick, while others were thin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I rotated them, there were cases where the friction coefficient was high and cases where it was clearly low, so this must have been the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The labor cost for replacing the clutch plates was AR$120,000, approximately USD 81.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The oil filter repair cost was AR$50,000, approximately USD 33.58.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was a painful expense for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can finally depart for Monte Hermoso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
