FAQs
What is included in the NEWFREN F1668A Clutch Kit?
The kit includes 7 clutch discs with a thickness of 2.7 mm and 1 clutch disc with a thickness of 3 mm. Both types have 10 notches and an external diameter of 125 mm. The standard discs have an internal diameter of 101.5 mm, while the thicker disc has an internal diameter of 108.5 mm.
What is the recommended break-in period for a new clutch?
It is generally advised to avoid aggressive riding, hard acceleration, and prolonged clutch slippage for the first 300-500 miles (500-800 km) after installation to allow the new clutch plates to bed in properly.
Can I use a different type of oil than recommended?
It is crucial to use the type of oil specified in your motorcycle's service manual. Using the incorrect oil can affect clutch performance and longevity.
How do I know if my clutch needs replacing?
Signs of a worn clutch include slipping (engine revs increase but speed does not), difficulty shifting gears, a spongy or inconsistent clutch lever feel, and a burning smell from the clutch area.
Is professional installation required?
While not strictly mandatory, professional installation by a qualified mechanic is highly recommended due to the complexity of accessing and replacing clutch components. This ensures correct assembly and reduces the risk of damage or improper function.
What does 'original version' mean for these clutch discs?
'Original version' indicates that these discs are manufactured to replicate the specifications and performance characteristics of the clutch discs that originally came with the motorcycle from the factory.
Troubleshooting
Clutch slipping after installation
Verify that the clutch plates were installed in the correct order and orientation. Ensure all clutch springs are properly seated and tightened to the specified torque. Check if the clutch lever free play is set correctly according to the service manual.
Difficulty shifting gears
Confirm that the clutch is fully disengaging. Check for any binding in the clutch cable or hydraulic system. Ensure the new clutch discs were properly soaked in the correct type of oil before installation as per instructions.
Abnormal noises from the clutch area
Inspect for any loose components or debris within the clutch basket. Ensure the clutch plates are not rubbing against the basket. Re-check all torque specifications on bolts and fasteners related to the clutch assembly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This clutch kit is specifically designed for the Honda XL 650 V Transalp models manufactured between the years 2000 and 2007. Ensure your motorcycle's model and year match these specifications before installation.
Setup: Installation requires disassembly of the motorcycle's engine casing to access the clutch assembly. It is highly recommended that this procedure be performed by a qualified mechanic or an individual with significant motorcycle repair experience. Follow the manufacturer's service manual for correct torque specifications and assembly order. Ensure all surfaces are clean before reassembly.
Care: After installation, follow the break-in procedure recommended by NEWFREN or your mechanic. Typically, this involves avoiding hard acceleration and prolonged clutch use for the first few hundred miles. Regular inspection of the clutch fluid level (if applicable to your model's system) and overall clutch operation should be part of routine motorcycle maintenance.
