Possible clutch problem

***** OEM friction pad kits *****

I was looking at the clutch diagram yesterday and suddenly noticed a friction plate that had a different number and part number to the two i previously mentioned in the above post.

In the diagram #4 is the one there is the most of, #11 is the narrow one i describe that fits around the judder spring (#12) but then i noticed #7 which doesn't apply to the aftermarket kit that i bought. #5 are the steel plates.
As i have no experience with this friction pad kit you will need to look at a manual, or instructions with the kit itself. Or just use the diagram below i suppose.

But after a looking about i don't even know if you can buy OEM friction plates as a kit, i can't find them anywhere, only in singles which would be an expensive way of doing things, so not sure how often OEM plates get used if you're changing them yourself?

Wemoto does TRK branded sets of steel and friction plates 90ish pounds to get both sets. I have taken old plates out in exact order and put adjustable cable tie around them to keep them in order. I'll use a calipers to make sure each plate that goes back is the same shape and size as the one it's replacing. Anyone have experience of TRK stuff?

My guess is that there'll be only 2 types of friction plates, only the narrow one mentioned will be different.


Just for the record, i have tried my steel plates both ways, curved side outwards first, then recently i flipped them all the same way for curved side facing inwards. I was double checking the positioning of the judder spring so had it all apart anyway.
Curved side facing inwards performs better in my opinion.

Hi I've replaced plates,clutch springs, torqued everything up to spec. Adjusted new cable - now lever feels lovely. But still no gears.  Any thoughts on what to try next? I can get neutral light but not the usual clunk into first but I can get the light to go off by pushing down and the bike conked too with the sidestand out so it thinks it's in first!!

What do you mean by no gears? Will it not go into gear or does the engine stop when you put it into gear with the side stand down?

[Yam12]

No gears at all unfortunately. Won't go down into first gear. Feels like it's going into the other gears but not transmitting power to the real wheel. Wonder coukdvit be selector fork

Sounds more like a broken stopper spring on the selector drum, which unfortunately is behind the clutch basket.
