FAQs
Do I need to soak the friction plates in oil?
Yes, it is essential to soak the new friction plates in fresh engine oil for several hours prior to installation to prevent burning or glazing on the first use.
Can I reuse my old steel drive plates?
While it is possible, it is highly recommended to use the new steel drive plates included in the SRK129 kit to ensure optimal flatness and heat dissipation.
Will this kit make my clutch lever pull harder?
Due to the reinforced springs included in this racing kit, you may notice a slightly stiffer lever pull compared to a factory-standard clutch.
How often should I replace the clutch plates?
Replacement intervals depend heavily on riding style, but you should inspect them if you experience slippage, difficulty finding neutral, or a change in the clutch bite point.
Is this kit compatible with synthetic engine oils?
The kit is designed to work with most high-quality motorcycle engine oils, but ensure the oil is specifically rated for wet-clutch systems to avoid additive interference.
Troubleshooting
Clutch slipping after installation
Verify that you have used the correct engine oil and that there is sufficient free play in the clutch cable or hydraulic system.
Hard or jerky gear engagement
Ensure the clutch basket is smooth and free of grooves; worn basket fingers can prevent plates from separating cleanly.
Clutch drag when in gear
Check for proper clutch release mechanism adjustment and ensure no air is trapped if using a hydraulic clutch system.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installation, ensure the SRK129 kit is compatible with your specific motorcycle model by verifying the EBC application chart. Proper installation requires soaking the friction plates in the recommended engine oil for several hours before assembly to ensure they are fully saturated. When installing, use a torque wrench to tighten the pressure plate bolts to the manufacturer's specified torque values to prevent warping or uneven wear. Regular inspection of the clutch basket for notches is recommended, as worn baskets can prevent the new plates from moving freely. Maintain the system by changing the engine oil at recommended intervals, as debris in the oil can affect the performance of the high-friction plates.
