Clutch.......................

[RMT1983]

Looks like I need a new clutch!!! lots of slip!!! so been looking at fitting the EBC clutch plates but wondered if anyone else had fit anything different and any advice?

Sure its not due to oil?

Interesting....ive just bought a EBC clutch from another foccer.like you mine has started slipping, ive never replaced a clutch on a bike before and ive been riding a good few years, done loads on cars but not bikes...I put it down to the wet clutch on a bike .....for something like a clutch which is very hard working I would'nt try a save a few quid on an unknow make....wemoto have just started listing a new brand, ive not heard of them before but they are only about £20 cheaper than the EBC......I might be missing a trick here but I would go with the brand you know........

just a thought...have you checked the adjustment on the cable ?

Yeah, like Red says, i would firstly make sure the clutch cable is adjusted lower end first then tweaked at the lever end if you haven't already, could be a simple fix.

Fitted new Motul 5100 10-40 bike oil so shouldn't be that but the slipping started before then................ it only slips above 8000rpm too, under hard acceleration so im guessing it isn't the cable.................

Adjust it anyway, especially if you're saying it's under hard acceleration.
It's dead easy to do.

You could slacken it off at the lever and that will tell you if its the cable. If you replace the plates be careful tightening the bolts they snap easily. Make sure the plates are in the correct order and all fully seated or you could crack the basket.
