Clutch replacement

robertcains · Post by **robertcains** » Mon Sep 01, 2014 9:34 am

I've got minor clutch slip on my 89 FZR1000r,
It's got fresh oil (correct stuff) in so I'm guessing it's time for a set of friction plates?
It looks a fairly simple job but any advice off those who have done it would be appreciated, any reccomendations on what make or where to purchase please?

Cheers Nick

Easy to swap the fractions out. Use yamaha oem. Or Ebc plates, don't use any fancy Kevlar ones unless you plan to use it exclusively on track. Think about maybe using heavier duty springs, helps to keep the clutch pack held together.

Check your steels for blueing and warp and replace any than need replacing, these can only be got from yamaha, and make sure to soak your new clutch fractions in new engine oil overnight before putting them in the engine...avoids burning the cork when you use them for the first time.

And it's frictions not fractions...stupid modern autocorrect...

Cheers Nuggitt,
I've asked the question as apparently there are 4 separate part numbers in the 9 plates (6+1+1+1)
Watching with interest

Ok, looks like a small mistake from my local dealer, the printout he gave me shows 6+1 with the same part number so 7+1+1 is correct, the eBay seller has the correct part numbers so thanks for the link, duly purchased.

Glad to be of help Nick, but that's what were here for.

I nearly bought them myself to be honest.

So I'm guessing this is the issue?
Anybody else experienced this? Old age?
