Aramid fibre plates offer superior heat resistance and durability compared to standard paper or composite plates, leading to a longer lifespan and more consistent performance under demanding conditions.
It is recommended to use a high-quality transmission oil specifically designed for motorcycles. Always refer to your Honda CR80/CR85 service manual for the exact oil type and specifications.
Installation requires mechanical aptitude and basic tools. If you are not comfortable with engine disassembly, it is advisable to have the kit installed by a qualified motorcycle mechanic.
Lifespan varies greatly depending on riding style, conditions, and maintenance. However, the aramid fibre plates are designed for enhanced durability, offering a longer service life than standard clutch plates.
The kit includes springs designed to match the performance characteristics of the aramid fibre plates. While minor variations can occur, it should not significantly increase lever effort if installed correctly. Refer to your service manual for spring replacement procedures.
This kit is specifically developed and optimized for motocross and enduro riding. While it may function on a street bike, its design and materials are intended for off-road performance demands.
Verify that the friction plates were properly soaked in oil before installation. Ensure all clutch springs are installed correctly and torqued to specification. Check for any oil leaks that might be contaminating the clutch plates.
Double-check that all components are installed in the correct order and orientation as per your motorcycle's service manual. Ensure the clutch cable or hydraulic system is properly adjusted and not binding.
Confirm that the correct type and amount of transmission oil is being used. Riding style can also contribute; avoid excessive slipping or 'feathering' the clutch unnecessarily, especially during initial break-in.
Compatibility: This kit is specifically designed for Honda CR80 models from 1987-2002 and CR85 models from 2003-2007. Ensure your motorcycle's model and year match the product specifications before installation.
Setup: Installation involves disassembling the engine's clutch basket. It is crucial to soak the new friction plates in the appropriate type and amount of transmission oil for at least 15-30 minutes prior to installation. Follow the service manual for your specific Honda model for the correct torque specifications for clutch cover bolts and springs. Ensure all components are clean and properly seated before reassembly.
Care: Regular maintenance is key. Always ensure the transmission oil level is correct and the oil is changed at recommended intervals. Inspect the clutch plates for wear during regular maintenance. Clean any debris from the clutch basket and surrounding engine components during installation or maintenance.
