FAQs
Does this kit include springs?
Yes, the EBC DRC kit comes as a complete engine set including friction plates, steel separator plates, and heavy-duty springs.
Is this kit compatible with 4x4 models?
No, this specific kit (DRC221) is designed exclusively for the Suzuki LT-F 250 2X4 (2003-2014).
Why is it important to soak the plates?
Soaking the friction plates in oil prevents the clutch from running dry during the initial startup, which can lead to rapid glazing or burning of the material.
What is clutch basket dogging?
It refers to the wear pattern (notches) that develops on the clutch basket fingers where the friction plates sit, which can cause the clutch to stick.
Should I replace the entire kit at once?
Yes, for the best performance and longevity, you should always replace the full set of plates and springs simultaneously rather than mixing new and old parts.
Troubleshooting
Clutch slipping after installation
Check that the free play at the clutch lever is adjusted correctly and that the plates were properly soaked in oil before installation.
Difficulty shifting into neutral
Ensure the clutch cable is properly tensioned and inspect the clutch basket for existing notches or damage that may be causing the plates to hang.
Clutch feels overly grabby
Verify the use of motorcycle-specific JASO-MA certified oil, as automotive oils with friction modifiers can cause irregular engagement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This kit is compatible specifically with the Suzuki LT-F 250 2X4 models manufactured from 2003 to 2014. Installation requires the removal of the right-side engine cover and clutch assembly. It is critical to soak the new friction plates in the recommended engine oil for at least 30 minutes before installation to ensure they are fully saturated. When installing, check the clutch basket for existing grooves or damage; while the DRC kit's carriers help prevent further wear, existing damage should be smoothed or the basket replaced to ensure a proper fit. Ensure that the steel separator plates are installed in the correct sequence as specified in your service manual.
