Katana Owners Club U.K.

Well went out for a nice ride today.
Then the clutch went I put a new EBC clutch kit in the Kat at the end of last summer as the old clutch had gone.
So I checked the steels where all OK and put the EBC frichion plats in, I then got toled by some one of OSS the EBC one will go very quickley in a gsxf motor, he was very wright.
I've done about 200 miles and there is no frishion left on the frishion plats and now the steels are goosed as well.
So just to say if your fitting a new clutch get OE ones they may cost more be there worth it
When I got off the bike the motor was so hot I could not tuch the motor and yes I've checked that oil is getting round the motor, buy the esay way, I unbolted all the oil pipes one by one and turned the motor over, made a big mess out side the house ooouuupppssss

Hmm,I've got an EBC clutch plate kit I picked up very cheap on the bay a few years ago. Methinks it might go back on ebay and put the money towards some OE kit.
Thanks for the heads up.

Just orderd oe one from Robinsons £194.25 for steels and frichion plats

I was looking at EBC as mine are slipping more now so thanks for the heads up.
Just a reminder i can get trade prices for Suzuki stuff and will be needing a set of plates for mine soon so will let you know what the cost is.

Have you checked out the DEBBEN site for 1100 clutch plate prices.

barnet kevlar plates. stunningly good! never had a clutch that i could actually feel biting and could gauge how much more i needed to give it to go. but the barnet one was like that, stock suzuki are good too.

Just waiting for the parts to come I went for the OE ones then I know it should be wright I just hope they come soon as there out of stock of the steels for the GSX1100F motors and I dont want to miss any more of this sunny stuff

I just got quoted £123.20 for SGP Steels, frictions & gasket for my pop up. Thats from my local Suzuki supplier with 15% discount.
