Full details
The EBC DRC Series Clutch Kit (DRC065) is designed for motocross and enduro riders who demand a reliable, consistent clutch feel under competitive conditions. This complete kit delivers superior modulation and durability through its unique alloy-impregnated, cork-based friction plates, making it an excellent upgrade for riders experiencing fading or grabby clutches, though it does require a break-in period to ensure optimal seating of the friction surfaces.

FAQs
Do I need to replace the steel plates?
Yes, it is highly recommended to replace the steel plates included in the kit to ensure a flat, uniform surface for the new friction plates to grip.
Can I use standard engine oil with this kit?
You should use a motorcycle-specific 4-stroke oil that is rated for wet clutch systems to prevent slippage and damage to the friction material.
What is the break-in procedure?
Ride for 30-60 minutes in varying conditions, avoiding excessive heat buildup, to allow the friction plates to seat properly against the steel plates.
Are these plates thicker than stock?
The DRC series is designed to match stack heights compatible with your specific model, but always measure the stack height compared to the old set during installation.
Does this kit include a clutch cover gasket?
No, the DRC065 kit does not include the clutch cover gasket. You should purchase a new gasket separately before starting the installation.
Troubleshooting
Clutch feels 'grabby' immediately after installation
Ensure plates were soaked in oil for 30 minutes before assembly and verify that the cable tension is correctly adjusted.
Clutch is slipping under high load
Check that the heavy-duty springs were installed correctly and that the clutch cable or hydraulic slave cylinder is not binding.
Difficulty finding neutral
Verify that your clutch basket fingers are not 'notched' or worn, as this prevents the friction plates from separating cleanly.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly improved clutch feel and modulation
- High resistance to clutch swell and fading
- Complete rebuild kit minimizes the need for individual part sourcing
- Heavy-duty springs prevent high-RPM slippage
Cons
- Requires proper break-in procedure before racing
- Not intended for casual street riding or low-performance applications
- Requires engine case opening and mechanical expertise to install
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance, soak all friction plates in your motorcycle-specific clutch oil for at least 30 minutes before installation. During assembly, verify that the clutch basket and inner hub are free of grooves or notches; if the basket is 'notched,' the new plates may hang up and perform poorly. Always check the clutch free-play at the lever after installation to ensure the clutch fully engages when the lever is released. For long-term care, follow your manufacturer's recommended oil change intervals, as debris in the oil can significantly shorten the life of cork-based friction material.
