FAQs
What type of oil should I use to soak the clutch plates?
Use the manufacturer's recommended drive case oil for your specific motorcycle. Never use automatic transmission fluid.
Can I replace just the friction plates or just the springs?
No, this kit is designed to be installed as a complete set to ensure the correct stack height and performance. It is recommended to replace springs when replacing plates due to heat fatigue.
How long should I soak the friction plates?
Soak the Aramid paper lined clutch plates in the recommended oil for a few hours before installation.
Is this clutch kit suitable for street use?
Yes, it is designed as a 'Street Racer' clutch, suitable for heavier sport bikes and fast riders, offering enhanced performance for both street and production-based race use.
What makes this clutch 'longer lasting'?
The use of Aramid paper lined clutch plates provides superior heat resistance and durability compared to standard materials, leading to a longer service life.
Do I need to change my clutch springs too?
It is best practice to fit new clutch springs at the same time as changing clutch plates, as old springs can suffer from heat fatigue and affect performance.
Troubleshooting
Clutch slipping after installation
Ensure friction plates were fully soaked in the correct oil before installation. Verify that all components were installed as a complete kit and that the stack height is correct. Check that new clutch springs were used if necessary.
Clutch lever feels too stiff or too light
This is often an adjustment period. Check cable free play. Ensure the clutch springs are correctly seated. Consult a service manual for your specific motorcycle if issues persist.
Difficulty disengaging the clutch
Confirm friction plates were soaked properly and installed correctly. Ensure no excess oil is contaminating the plates. Verify that the clutch springs are not overly stiff for your setup and that the lever mechanism is operating smoothly.
