This Newfren Motorcycle Friction & Steel Clutch Plate Kit (MPN: F2843AC) is for motorcycle riders seeking to improve clutch performance and durability. Its key benefit is enhanced power transfer and a longer lifespan due to advanced materials. A caveat is that proper installation by a qualified mechanic is recommended for optimal results. The kit features Paper Carbon friction material for superior heat resistance and special steel driven plates for minimal warping and stable performance.

Yes, it is standard practice and highly recommended to soak the new friction plates in the correct type of clutch fluid for at least 24 hours before installation. This ensures proper lubrication and prevents premature damage or glazing.
Clutch plate lifespan varies greatly depending on riding style, conditions, and maintenance. However, a typical replacement interval for performance-oriented riders might be between 15,000-30,000 miles, or sooner if slippage or performance issues are detected.
This kit enhances the efficiency of power transfer from the engine to the transmission. While it won't add horsepower, a well-functioning clutch allows the engine's power to be applied more effectively, potentially resulting in a feeling of improved acceleration.
Friction plates have a material (like Paper Carbon) that grips the steel plates. Steel plates are smooth metal discs that provide the surface for the friction plates to engage with, transferring power. Both are essential for clutch operation.
While technically possible in some cases, it is strongly recommended to replace all plates (friction and steel) in a clutch kit together. Using old steel plates with new friction plates can lead to uneven wear and reduced performance.
MPN stands for Manufacturer Part Number. F2843AC is the specific identifier Newfren uses for this particular clutch plate kit model, ensuring you order the correct part for your motorcycle.
Verify correct installation procedure, ensure all plates are seated properly, check clutch cable/lever free play, and confirm the correct amount/type of clutch fluid is used.
Check for binding in the clutch cable or lever mechanism. Ensure clutch plates are not too tight and are properly lubricated with clutch fluid. Re-verify installation.
This could indicate incorrect installation or worn related components (e.g., pressure plate, basket). Have the system inspected by a professional mechanic.
Ensure clutch plates have been properly soaked in the correct clutch fluid before installation. Check for any contamination or damage to the plates or mating surfaces. Re-inspect installation.
Setup:
Installation of the Newfren Clutch Plate Kit requires disassembling the motorcycle's clutch assembly. It is highly recommended that this installation be performed by a qualified motorcycle mechanic to ensure correct component seating, spring tension, and fluid levels. Incorrect installation can lead to clutch slippage or premature failure.
Compatibility:
This kit is designed for specific motorcycle models. Always verify the MPN (F2843AC) against your motorcycle's service manual or manufacturer's specifications to confirm compatibility before purchase. Refer to the Newfren product catalog for a detailed application list.
Care:
Regular maintenance of your motorcycle's clutch system is crucial. Ensure the correct type and level of clutch fluid are used as per your motorcycle's manual. Inspect clutch plates for wear during routine maintenance. Keep the clutch assembly clean from debris. Avoid aggressive clutch use (e.g., excessive slipping) to maximize the lifespan of the new plates.
