Replacement Clutch
« on: 30 September 2013, 09:14:38 pm »
My Gen 1 now has 68,000 miles on it and I wonder if I should be thinking about a new clutch. Would EBC clutch plates and OEM springs be the way to go? Is there anything I should now about or is this any easy job? I watched a You Tube video of a guy changing a 600 clutch and it looked very easy. Any information would be a great help. Thanks

If it is not slipping leave it alone.
However it is a relatively easy job and can be done with the bike on the sidestand.
Dwnload the manual  and all will be revealed :lol

old son,
Replace the clutch set and record it in video so u can check back anytime when something went wrong. U can also share it with people who need ref.

Changed mine at 50,00 as preventative maintenance - the plates that came out were perfect....

I am up to 80,000 now and still no slipping. It surely cant last much longer?

Its just that they get quite a bit of stick and when compared with cars most things on a bike seem to wear out quicker. I've no idea how long a clutch is expected to last.
