FAQs

Do I need to replace my steel plates when installing this kit?

It is highly recommended to inspect your steel plates for signs of heat discoloration or warping and replace them if they are not perfectly flat.

Can I use standard automotive motor oil with these plates?

No. Automotive oils often contain friction modifiers that can cause motorcycle clutches to slip. Always use oil designed for wet-clutch systems.

Should I soak the plates before installing them?

Yes, soaking the friction plates in clean engine oil for several hours is crucial for a successful break-in and to prevent burning the plates on the first ride.

How long do these clutch plates typically last?

Lifespan depends heavily on riding style, maintenance, and oil quality, but these plates are designed to meet or exceed OEM mileage expectations.

Does the kit come with clutch springs?

The CK Series kit typically includes friction plates only. You should check your kit contents and replace clutch springs separately if they have reached their service limit.

Troubleshooting

Clutch is slipping under heavy acceleration.

Verify that you are using the correct motorcycle-specific oil and ensure that free-play in the clutch cable or lever is adjusted correctly.

Clutch feels grabby or difficult to engage.

Check the clutch basket for 'notching' or wear marks. If the basket is damaged, new plates may not function smoothly.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before beginning installation, verify the `CK2287` kit compatibility with your specific motorcycle model using the EBC lookup catalog or your owner's manual.

  1. Drain the engine oil and remove the clutch cover.
  2. Soak the new friction plates in the manufacturer-recommended motorcycle oil for several hours before installation to ensure full saturation.
  3. Carefully inspect the steel drive plates for heat spots or warping; replace them if necessary as they directly affect friction plate life.
  4. Install the new friction plates according to the torque specifications listed in your service manual.
  5. Refill the engine with the specific oil grade required by the manufacturer, as using incorrect additives or friction modifiers can cause clutch slippage.
