FAQs
Do I need to soak the friction plates in oil?
No, the DP Brakes DPK kit is designed to be ready for installation without pre-soaking.
Are these plates compatible with synthetic oil?
Yes, these materials are compatible with standard motorcycle-specific synthetic and mineral oils.
Will these springs feel stiffer than stock?
The precision-wound chrome silicone springs are designed to offer optimal feel and reduced slippage, which may feel firmer than a worn-out stock clutch.
What is the benefit of steel plates over aluminum?
Steel plates resist heat-induced swelling better than aluminum, ensuring the clutch pack maintains proper clearance and does not fade under heavy use.
Can I use this for street riding?
While it is designed for off-road and dual-sport use, it functions perfectly for street riding provided it is matched to the correct bike model.
Troubleshooting
Clutch slipping under heavy load
Verify that there is proper free-play in the clutch cable/lever and ensure the springs were torqued to the manufacturer's specification.
Difficult shifting after install
Check that the clutch basket is not notched, as this prevents the plates from separating cleanly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation should be performed according to your motorcycle's specific service manual to ensure correct torque specs on the pressure plate bolts. Since the kit does not require oil soaking, you can install the plates dry, but it is highly recommended to coat each plate with a light layer of your preferred motorcycle engine oil during assembly to prevent dry-start friction. Ensure the clutch basket is free of notches or grooves before installation, as worn baskets can cause the new plates to hang up. Always check the clutch cable or hydraulic system free-play after installation to prevent premature wear on the new components.
