FAQs

What is the main benefit of using the Apico Friction Plate Kit?

The main benefit is an improved and more consistent clutch performance due to the use of high-quality friction materials, providing a more direct engagement and better durability compared to standard OEM plates.

Are these plates a direct replacement for my stock clutch plates?

Yes, the Apico Friction Plate Kit is designed to be an exact replacement for OEM parts, ensuring a perfect fit for the listed compatible models.

Do I need to soak the friction plates before installation?

Yes, it is crucial to soak the new friction plates in the appropriate motorcycle clutch fluid for at least 24 hours before installation to ensure proper lubrication and prevent immediate damage.

What other parts are needed for a clutch replacement?

This kit only includes the friction plates. You will also need the steel plates (if not reusing existing ones), clutch cover gasket, and potentially new clutch springs if they are worn. Always refer to your service manual.

How often should I check my clutch plates?

Regular inspection is recommended, especially after hard riding. Signs of wear include clutch slippage, increased lever effort, or difficulty shifting. Consult your service manual for specific mileage recommendations.

Can this kit be used for racing?

Yes, this kit is part of Apico's performance hard parts range and is suitable for racing applications, offering enhanced durability and performance.

Troubleshooting

Clutch slipping after installation

Ensure plates were properly soaked in oil before installation. Verify that all friction and steel plates are installed in the correct order and orientation. Check for adequate clutch cable free play or hydraulic fluid pressure.

Clutch drag or not disengaging fully

Confirm that the clutch plates are not warped and are installed correctly. Ensure the clutch basket and hub are not excessively worn. Adjust clutch lever free play as per the service manual.

Premature wear on new plates

Check that the correct type and amount of clutch fluid are being used. Ensure there are no issues with the clutch actuation mechanism causing excessive heat or pressure on the plates.
