FAQs

Do I need to replace my clutch plates when installing these springs?

It is highly recommended to replace clutch plates if they show signs of wear. Installing new, stiffer springs on worn plates may not yield the best results and could still lead to slippage. It's best practice to replace plates and springs together.

Can I just replace one or two worn springs?

No, clutch springs should always be replaced as a complete engine set. Replacing only a few can lead to uneven pressure, causing inefficient operation and accelerated wear on the remaining stock springs and new springs.

Will these springs make my clutch lever hard to pull?

These EBC springs are designed to be approximately 10-15% stiffer than OE, offering improved performance with usually no noticeable increase in lever effort. However, rider sensitivity can vary.

How many springs are typically in an engine set?

The number of springs varies by motorcycle model. This kit provides the necessary springs for a complete engine set. Some kits may include a few extra springs due to shared part numbers across different bike models.

What is the primary benefit of using EBC upgrade springs?

The primary benefit is to combat clutch slip and premature wear caused by weakened OE clutch springs, thereby enhancing clutch performance and durability.

Are these springs suitable for daily commuting?

Yes, they are suitable for daily commuting as they are designed to improve clutch function without significantly altering the rider experience or lever feel.

Troubleshooting

Clutch still slipping after installation

Ensure all springs were replaced as an engine set and are correctly seated. Check the condition of the clutch plates and other clutch components. Verify correct oil level and type.

Clutch lever feels excessively heavy

While designed for minimal increase, if the lever effort is too high, ensure the correct spring set was used and that no other modifications have affected lever feel. Re-check installation for binding.

Difficulty engaging or disengaging clutch

Confirm that all springs and retainers are correctly installed and torqued. Check for any debris or obstructions in the clutch mechanism. Ensure correct oil is used, as some oils can affect clutch performance.

Care:

Clutch springs do not require regular maintenance. However, it is crucial to inspect them during any clutch service. If any signs of damage, corrosion, or unusual wear are present, they should be replaced. Regular oil changes with the correct specification of motorcycle oil will help maintain the overall health of the clutch system.
