Additional Notes:

Here is a link regarding how the clutch lever functions with additional pictures that I posted and a decent description:

Clutch Cover Plate TORQUE SPECS: 87 in/lbs.

Here is a link that I posted when I began the project and the problems that were subsequently solved:

My clutch cable was also replaced, but KKim did a fine job of doing a clutch cable DIY. Follow KKim's article for adjusting the clutch cable (easy).

Use factory parts, folks. I purchased all my OEM parts from here:

I used Shell Rotella-T 5W-40 Fully Synthetic Oil. Some suggest to only use mineral oil, but most professionals think that the Shell oil is fine.

Be sure to check the metal discs on a glass table to see if they are bent or warped. It's easy, just place the metal disc on a glass table and make sure that it sits on the table evenly all around. Some online suggest to use a flashlight and see if you can see light coming through. This is a ridiculous method, as light can penetrate the tiniest spaces.

I will now post a general article on clutch replacement. It is NOT Ninja 250 specific, so some of it does not apply to our bikes. It is for informational purposes only.

To Alex or Admin, can you stamp the images with my screen name and this website, so as to drive traffic this way and prevent copyright problems?

Thank you guys for helping me through my clutch problems and here is the long awaited Purspeed's Clutch DIY!!

Enjoy.
