Product Information
Full details
The EBC SRC Series Clutch Friction Plate & Spring Kit (SRC038) is designed for riders of heavy sport bikes and production-based race bikes seeking enhanced clutch performance and durability. Its key benefit is a longer-lasting clutch with significantly higher heat resistance and a more aggressive, faster take-up. A caveat to be aware of is the need for precise installation and the use of manufacturer-recommended drive case oil, as incorrect oil can damage the plates.

FAQs
What type of oil should I use with the SRC038 kit?
You must use the manufacturer's recommended drive case oil for your specific motorcycle. Never use automatic transmission fluid.
Do I need to soak the clutch plates before installation?
Yes, all Aramid paper-lined clutch plates should be soaked in the correct drive case oil for several hours before installation to ensure proper lubrication.
What is the main difference between the SRC series and a standard CK series kit?
The SRC series offers a longer plate life, higher heat resistance, and a more aggressive/faster clutch take-up compared to the standard CK series.
Can I use this kit on a daily commuter bike?
This kit is designed for heavy sport bikes and race use. While it can be used on a commuter, the aggressive take-up and firmer feel might be less desirable for casual street riding compared to a standard kit.
How often should I replace my clutch plates?
Replacement intervals vary significantly based on riding style and conditions. For race use, frequent inspection is recommended. For spirited street use, follow your motorcycle manufacturer's service recommendations or replace when slipping is detected.
Is it necessary to replace the clutch springs?
Yes, it is highly recommended to fit the new heavy-duty clutch springs included in the kit. Old springs can lose tension due to heat fatigue, negatively impacting clutch performance.
What does 'production-based race bike' mean in relation to this clutch kit?
It refers to motorcycles that are largely stock but modified for racing, commonly used in series where extensive modifications are restricted. This kit is designed to meet the demands of such racing applications.
Troubleshooting
Clutch slipping after installation
Ensure plates were properly pre-soaked in the correct oil. Verify the clutch stack height is correct and that all components are installed as per the service manual. Check that the correct type and amount of drive case oil is being used.
Clutch drag (difficulty disengaging)
Re-check clutch stack height and ensure plates are not warped. Confirm that no excess friction material is interfering with plate movement. Make sure the clutch lever free play is set correctly.
Aggressive engagement feels too harsh for street riding
This kit is performance-oriented. For smoother street use, consider a standard series kit. Ensure clutch control techniques are adapted to the quicker engagement.
Premature wear on clutch plates
Verify that only the recommended drive case oil is used. Ensure the clutch is not being ridden with excessive slipping. Check for any dragging issues that might cause constant friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Pre-Soak Plates: Before installation, immerse the Aramid paper-lined clutch plates in the manufacturer's recommended drive case oil for several hours. This ensures the plates are properly lubricated before initial engagement, preventing premature wear.
- Install Kit Components: Install all friction plates and springs included in the kit. Ensure the plates are installed in the correct order and orientation as per your motorcycle's service manual.
- Check Stack Height: Each kit is measured for the correct stack height. Verify this measurement against your service manual's specifications to ensure proper clutch operation.
- Fit New Springs: It is highly recommended to fit the new clutch springs provided in the kit, as old springs can lose tension due to heat fatigue.
- Lever Feel Adjustment: After installation, familiarize yourself with the new lever feel. Ensure you can comfortably and fully disengage the clutch with minimal hand pressure.
Compatibility:
- This kit is designed for heavy sport bikes and production-based race bikes. Always consult your motorcycle's service manual or EBC Brakes' compatibility guide to confirm fitment for your specific make and model.
- The SRC038 part number specifically denotes compatibility with certain motorcycle models; verify this before purchase.
Care:
- Use Correct Oil: Always use the manufacturer's recommended drive case oil. *Never* use automatic transmission fluid, as it can damage the Aramid friction material.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect your clutch system for signs of wear or damage, especially if you engage in frequent track use.
- Maintenance: Adhere to your motorcycle's recommended service intervals for clutch maintenance and oil changes.
