ebc clutch

Post by wraith » Sun Apr 17, 2011 3:07 pm

Well went out for a nice ride today.
Then the clutch went :evil: 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 :cry: 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 :shock: 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.

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.
