...Whipped the clutch cover off again this morning, tried the pressure plate in a few different ways but it didn't seem to make any difference. Looking at either side of the plate is seems to be symmetrical and I couldn't see any difference in fitting. ...
This happend to me a few years ago on my own 600 Fazer, I used two sets of EBC plates and each time it would slip within a 1000 miles, I even put in EBC springs and they were way too hard. Bought new OEM springs and it was still the same. I evetually wrote to EBC about it and they sent me a new set of plates, said that the ones I had may have been from a bad batch, When the set they sent me went the same route I bought and fitted OEM plates and had no problem since I am still using the same steel plates. Best thing I did was foc all the EBC plates and springs into the bin. Lesson learned! the same as their X Foccing discs, SHITE. The only things I found any good from EBC were their HH, Organic and Kevler Brake Pads.
Do I take it then that your not that enammered with the EBC patterned parts then Mr Unfazed. Apart from their brake pads.
Finally got it almost right. Tried the pressure plate again but any way I fitted it it always put pressure onto the plates but I found where it felt most snug. Changed the cable and it's working fine now. No slip at all. Only trouble I'm having now is how heavy the clutch has become. I'm using ebc hd springs but it's really really heavy. To the point I can only just use 2 fingers. Also, no amount of adjusting can make down changes smooth unless I pull the lever right back to the bar. I've never used all 4 fingers on the clutch and don't want to start either as if I get into that habit I'll be straight off my motocross bike lol. Stupidly I threw away the ornignal springs, just wondering if anyone knows of any that are similar to standard or where I can find some original ones? Has anybody ever tried removing 2 springs and running 4? It would work but I'm worried about damaging the pressure plate?
