FAQs
Does this kit include clutch springs?
No, the EBC CK Series Clutch Kits typically include only the friction plates. Clutch springs and other hardware are usually sold separately and should be inspected for wear and replaced if necessary.
How long will this clutch kit last?
Due to the impregnated aluminum particles, these clutch plates are designed to last longer than standard OE plates, offering increased wear resistance. Actual lifespan depends on riding style, maintenance, and operating conditions.
Can I use this kit on a non-Honda motorcycle?
This specific kit (CK1119) is designed for Honda motorcycles. EBC Brakes offers different CK series kits for various motorcycle brands and models.
What is the break-in procedure for this clutch kit?
After installation, it is recommended to ride for 100-200 miles, varying your speed and avoiding aggressive acceleration or prolonged clutch slipping to allow the plates to properly mate with the clutch surfaces.
Is this a performance clutch kit?
The EBC CK Series is designed as a high-quality, standard replacement clutch. While it offers enhanced durability and heat resistance over OE, it is not intended as a high-performance upgrade for racing applications.
What tools are needed for installation?
Installation typically requires basic motorcycle tools, including socket sets, wrenches, torque wrench, and possibly specialized tools for clutch removal depending on the specific Honda model. Refer to your service manual for a complete list.
Troubleshooting
Clutch slippage after installation
Ensure the correct plates were installed, check for proper lubrication, verify the clutch lever free play is set correctly, and confirm the break-in period has been completed. Also, check if clutch springs need replacement.
Difficulty shifting gears
Verify the clutch is fully disengaging. Check clutch cable adjustment or hydraulic system. Ensure all friction plates are installed correctly and in the right order.
Clutch chatter or grabbing
Inspect the clutch basket and plates for any warping or damage. Ensure all components are clean and free from debris. Proper lubrication is key.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This specific EBC CK Series Clutch Kit (MPN: CK1119) is designed for various Honda motorcycle models. Always verify fitment for your specific year and model before purchase.
Setup: Installation requires disassembling the engine's clutch cover and replacing the existing friction plates. It is highly recommended to consult your motorcycle's service manual for detailed, step-by-step instructions. Ensure all components are clean and properly lubricated according to the manufacturer's specifications before reassembly. Note that this kit includes friction plates only; inspect and replace clutch springs and other associated parts if necessary.
Care: After installation, allow a break-in period of approximately 100-200 miles of mixed riding, avoiding hard acceleration or prolonged clutch slipping. This allows the new friction plates to properly bed in with the clutch plates and basket. Regular maintenance should include checking clutch lever free play and ensuring the clutch operates smoothly. Cleanliness of the engine oil is crucial for clutch longevity.
