FAQs
What is included in the Apico Complete Clutch Kit With Springs?
The kit typically includes all necessary friction plates, steel plates, and clutch springs required for a full clutch replacement.
Is this clutch kit suitable for all Kawasaki KX60 models?
This kit is designed as an exact replacement for the Kawasaki KX60. It's essential to confirm compatibility with your specific model year.
Do I need special tools to install this clutch kit?
While standard motorcycle tools are needed, specialized tools like a torque wrench and potentially a clutch holding tool may be required for proper installation. Refer to your motorcycle's service manual.
How often should I replace my clutch plates?
Clutch plate lifespan varies greatly depending on riding style and conditions. Regular inspection and maintenance, along with proper oil changes, will help maximize their life.
Will this kit increase my motorcycle's horsepower?
This kit is designed to provide OEM quality function and durability with improved power transfer. It is not intended as a significant horsepower-boosting modification, but rather an enhancement of the existing power delivery.
Can I use a different type of oil with this clutch kit?
It is highly recommended to use the specific type and viscosity of engine oil recommended in your Kawasaki KX60's owner's manual. Using incorrect oil can lead to clutch slippage and premature wear.
Troubleshooting
Clutch slipping
Check clutch cable adjustment, oil level, and condition. Ensure the correct type of oil is used. If slipping persists, the clutch plates may be worn or contaminated and require replacement.
Clutch not engaging fully
Verify that the clutch springs are installed correctly and tightened to the proper torque. Check for any binding in the clutch cable or actuator mechanism.
Difficult gear shifting
Ensure the clutch lever has the correct free play. Check for any issues with the gearbox or linkage. In some cases, a partially engaged clutch can cause shifting problems.
Abnormal clutch noise
Inspect the clutch basket and hub for any damage or excessive wear. Ensure all components are properly seated and torqued. Listen for specific sounds like rattling, which might indicate loose parts.
