Some of you may have read my mindless ramblings about the new clutch kit not biting on the 650.
After much wailing and gnashing of teeth (I wasn't bald, but I am now!), and downloading of various manuals, I suspect that our kat has a 550 clutch unit, as opposed to the 650 that it should have!.
I'm just waiting for EBC to check my findings against their specs for the 550 and come back to me. What we have is the same pattern as the 650 clutch, but the plates are much thicker, and the claw width is the same. GS-1000 is out of the window, as the claw width is 15mm according to the manual.
My question is:
If it is indeed a 550 clutch unit, would it be able to handle the extra power of the 650?
If it's the same diameter, then surely the thicker plates would be a bonus when coupled with new HD springs?
Or does it not work like that?
Cheers,
J
PS, anybody want to buy a brand new EBC 650 plate kit? Pre soaked in oil, to save you the hassle!
