Clutch slipping isssues

wardie · November 16th, 2011, 05:38 AM

This 92' I recently bought has some issues and I'm fixing them one at a time as I find them. One issue is the clutch is slipping. I've adjusted it per manual and it slips on power shifts. I have the fairings off doing some other things and thought maybe this would be a good time to swap the clutch. I saw EBC has one for $60, factory one is like $140. Anyone can share clutch replacement tips and best souce/best porice for clutch replacement? Thanks in advance.

I got the fibers / plates & springs for my '94 at CheapCycleParts. Once I tore into it, I found that the clutch parts were fine (there was no perceptible difference between them and the brand new ones), but the springs had gotten weak over time. I could've gotten away with just changing the springs, but all the parts were there, so I just changed out the whole thing.

Make sure to soak the fibers in a bath of oil before installing them. Naturally, don't use oil that has the "Energy Conserving" starburst on the bottle, or you'll be replacing the whole setup again.
