Is there an order to put the friction clutch plates back in?
Is there a specific order to put the friction discs back in? I know the steel plates have to face a certain way. I bought ebk ck4521 discs and they all look the same to me! What's the diff between 13088a and 13088, I took out my old discs and they all look the same. Any help is appreciated thanks!

I had a Honda that I replaced the friction plates on. I bought the friction plates on eBay a few years before. When I installed them the clutch didn't work correctly. The eBay seller sold me a set of friction plates which were all identical, however, the Honda FT 500 had one friction plate with slightly different dimensions. I bought the oddball friction plate and all was well. The Honda Service Manual make no distinction among the friction plates. I checked Partzilla.com and they only have one part number for all the friction plates on the Ninja. I do know this that you have to have the helical cuts in the friction plates aligned correctly and there are marks on the clutch basket and spring plate that must be aligned. I haven't changed my friction plates yet but I did have the right crankcase cover off this past spring and I couldn't find the alignment marks. I have a mental note to make my own marks before disassembling my clutch in the future. All this probably isn't much help, sorry. Bill

This doesn't matter much on the newgen engine. Just throw them in there and make sure that the friction plates and steels alternate correctly.

Get a caliper and measure the thickness if it didn't come already ordered, and assemble as per the service manual. Otherwise it should be fine to just throw them in as is.
