FAQs

Do I need to replace the oil when installing this clutch kit?

Yes, it is highly recommended to drain the old engine oil and refill with fresh, correct-type oil after installing the clutch kit and reassembling the clutch cover.

How long should I soak the new friction plates?

It is recommended to soak the new friction plates in the specified transmission oil for at least 30 minutes before installation to ensure proper lubrication and prevent initial dry engagement.

Are the springs included in this kit?

Yes, this is a complete engine set that includes heavy-duty springs, friction plates, and steel separator plates.

Will this clutch kit fit my 2004 Suzuki RM 250?

No, this specific kit (DRC072) is designed only for the 1994-1995 Suzuki RM 250 models. Please check EBC's catalog for kits compatible with other years.

What is the advantage of alloy-impregnated cork facings over paper facings?

Alloy-impregnated cork facings provide smoother clutch take-up and better modulation, allowing for more controlled engagement compared to the potentially snatchy engagement of paper clutches.

How do I know if I need to replace my clutch plates?

Signs include clutch slipping (engine revs but bike doesn't accelerate proportionally), difficulty shifting gears, or a clutch that drags (bike creeps when in gear with the clutch pulled in).

Troubleshooting

Clutch slipping

Check clutch cable free play and adjust. Ensure oil level is correct and the oil type is appropriate. Verify that the plates were soaked properly before installation and that the clutch basket is not worn.

Clutch drag (difficulty shifting or bike creeping)

Confirm that all plates are installed in the correct order and are seated properly. Ensure springs are torqued correctly and evenly. Check for any warping of the clutch plates or basket.

Difficult clutch engagement

Verify correct cable adjustment and ensure no kinks in the cable. Make sure friction plates were properly soaked in oil before installation.
