The EBC SRK Complete Clutch Kit for the 1997 Honda NTV650 is designed for riders seeking a robust clutch upgrade to handle increased horsepower from engine tuning. It provides a complete clutch rebuild solution, ensuring correct 'stack height' for optimal performance, unlike simply replacing friction plates. The primary benefit is enhanced clutch durability and engagement under demanding conditions, with a caveat that proper installation is crucial for achieving these benefits.

'Stack height' refers to the total thickness of the clutch plates when assembled. It's critical because it dictates how much the clutch plates are compressed when the clutch lever is released. Incorrect stack height can lead to slipping or drag.
The SRK kit includes new steel separator plates. It is highly recommended to replace both friction and steel plates for optimal performance and to ensure the correct stack height.
It is essential to use motorcycle-specific oil that is compatible with wet clutch systems. Refer to your motorcycle's owner's manual for the correct oil specification. Do not use oils with friction modifiers unless specified for wet clutches.
Allow for a break-in period of 200-300 miles of varied riding, avoiding aggressive acceleration and prolonged slipping. This allows the new plates to bed in properly.
Lifespan varies greatly depending on riding style, maintenance, and operating conditions. However, the Kevlar friction plates are designed for enhanced durability compared to standard materials.
The SRK series often includes springs that provide firmer engagement suitable for performance applications. This can result in a slightly heavier clutch lever pull.
Ensure friction plates were properly soaked in oil before installation. Verify that all plates and springs are installed correctly and that the clutch cable is adjusted with the correct free play. Check if the clutch 'stack height' is within specifications.
Confirm correct installation order of plates and springs. Ensure the clutch cable has adequate free play and is not binding. Verify that the steel separator plates are not warped.
Inspect clutch springs for correct seating and tension. Check for any loose components within the clutch basket or engine case.
Re-check the 'stack height' of the clutch assembly. Ensure all plates are clean and free of debris or oil contamination before installation.
Setup: This kit is designed as a direct replacement for the clutch in a 1997 Honda NTV650. Installation involves disassembling the engine's clutch basket, removing old plates, and installing the new friction plates, steel separator plates, and springs in the correct order. It is crucial to soak the new friction plates in the appropriate type of engine oil for at least 15-30 minutes before installation to ensure proper lubrication and prevent glazing.
Compatibility: This specific kit (MPN: SRK062) is confirmed for the 1997 Honda NTV650. Always verify compatibility with your motorcycle's make, model, and year before purchase.
Care: After installation, allow a break-in period of approximately 200-300 miles (320-480 km) of mixed riding. During this period, avoid aggressive acceleration, prolonged slipping, and hard downshifts. Regular oil changes with the correct specification of motorcycle oil are essential for maintaining clutch health. Inspect clutch components during major service intervals.
