FAQs
Do I need to replace my steel plates as well?
Yes, the SRK Series Clutch Kit typically includes both aramid fiber friction plates and steel separator plates, and it is recommended to replace both for optimal performance and longevity.
What is the break-in period for this clutch kit?
After installation, it is recommended to break in the new clutch by riding gently for the first 100-200 miles (160-320 km), avoiding hard acceleration and prolonged clutch slipping. This allows the plates to mate properly.
Can I use a different type of oil with this clutch kit?
It is essential to use the specific type of motorcycle oil recommended by your motorcycle manufacturer. Using oil not designed for wet clutches can lead to clutch slippage and premature wear.
Is this clutch kit suitable for track days?
While designed for high-performance street and road racing, its suitability for dedicated track days depends on the intensity and frequency of use. For extreme track use, consider EBC's racing-specific clutch kits.
How long does the EBC SRK085 clutch kit typically last?
Lifespan varies greatly depending on riding style, maintenance, and application. However, with proper care and installation, the aramid fiber plates are known for their durability and longevity compared to standard organic plates.
Where can I find the specific fitment for my motorcycle?
You can find detailed fitment information on the EBC Brakes website or by consulting their official product catalog. Always confirm the MPN SRK085 is listed for your specific motorcycle make, model, and year.
Troubleshooting
Clutch slipping after installation
Ensure the clutch plates were properly soaked in oil before installation. Verify that the correct number and type of plates were installed in the correct order. Check that the clutch cable or hydraulic system is properly adjusted according to the manufacturer's specifications and that the clutch lever has the correct free play.
Clutch dragging or not disengaging fully
Re-check the installation order and orientation of the friction and steel plates. Ensure that no burrs or debris are preventing plates from separating freely. Verify that the clutch springs are correctly seated and torqued.
Abnormal noises from the clutch area
Inspect clutch basket and hub for wear or damage. Ensure all clutch components are correctly seated and torqued. If the noise persists, it may indicate an issue with other related drivetrain components.
