Full details
The EBC Standard CK Series Clutch for Honda motorcycles is designed for riders seeking a reliable, direct OE replacement with enhanced durability. Its key benefit is increased wear and heat resistance due to aluminum particle impregnation, extending the clutch's lifespan.

FAQs
What is included in the EBC CK Series clutch kit?
The kit includes a full engine set of friction plates only. You will need to reuse your existing metal clutch plates, provided they are in good condition.
How do I prepare the new friction plates for installation?
You should soak the new friction plates in the recommended type of motorcycle oil for at least 30 minutes before installing them into the clutch basket.
How long will these clutch plates last?
The aluminum particle impregnation significantly increases wear resistance and heat resistance, leading to a longer lifespan compared to standard OE clutch plates under normal riding conditions.
Can I use these for racing?
The CK Series is designed as a general-purpose replacement for everyday use. For extreme racing applications, EBC offers specialized performance clutch kits.
Do I need to replace the metal plates as well?
The kit does not include metal plates. You should inspect your existing metal plates for warping, scoring, or other damage. If they are damaged or excessively worn, they should be replaced.
What type of oil should I use?
Always refer to your Honda motorcycle's owner's manual for the recommended type of motorcycle oil for your clutch system.
Is there a break-in period required?
Yes, it is recommended to allow a short break-in period. Avoid aggressive acceleration and frequent clutch slipping for the first few hundred miles to allow the plates to bed in properly.
Troubleshooting
Clutch slipping after installation
Ensure friction plates were properly soaked in oil before installation. Verify that all plates were installed in the correct order and that the clutch cable free play is set correctly. Check for any damaged metal plates that may need replacement.
Difficulty shifting gears
Confirm that the clutch is fully disengaging. Check the clutch cable adjustment; it might be too tight or too loose. Ensure the clutch plates are not sticking together and are installed correctly.
Clutch chatter or judder
This can sometimes occur during the break-in period. Ensure the metal plates are clean and free from burrs. Check that all plates are installed flat and not binding.
