FAQs
Does this kit include steel plates?
No, the CKF1190 kit consists of friction plates only.
Why do I have to soak the plates in oil?
Soaking ensures the friction material is fully saturated, which prevents burning and glazing during the initial engagement after installation.
Can I replace just one or two plates if the others look fine?
No. The CKF kit is measured for a specific stack height and must be installed as a complete set for proper functionality.
Is this kit better than stock cork plates?
Yes, the carbon fibre impregnation makes these plates more durable and heat-resistant than standard cork-based plates.
Will this work for a street-legal ATV?
Yes, the CKF line is designed for both racing and everyday riding, providing improved durability for any application.
Troubleshooting
Clutch slipping after installation
Verify that the clutch cable tension is set correctly and ensure the plates were soaked in the correct type and volume of oil.
Clutch feels 'grabby' or jerky
Check the condition of your steel drive plates for warping or heat damage and ensure the clutch basket does not have notched edges (tang wear).

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance and longevity, the EBC CKF1190 kit must be treated with care during the installation process:
- Soaking: Before installation, it is critical to soak the new friction plates in the manufacturer's recommended drive case oil. This prevents dry-start damage and ensures the plates are fully lubricated.
- Full Kit Replacement: The kit is factory-measured for stack height; always install the entire set of plates simultaneously. Mixing new plates with old, worn components can lead to uneven engagement and premature failure.
- Compatibility: Verify that the CKF1190 part number matches your specific machine model requirements. Always inspect your existing steel plates for heat warping or scoring before installing the new friction plates.
- Oil Maintenance: Maintain regular oil change intervals using high-quality motorcycle/ATV-specific oil to protect the carbon fibre matrix.
