Product Information
Full details
The EBC DRC Series Clutch Kit (DRC42) is designed for motorcycle enthusiasts seeking enhanced clutch performance and durability. Its key benefit lies in its superior friction materials and reinforced components that provide smooth engagement and prevent premature wear. A potential caveat is that the 10-15% uprated springs may require a firmer lever feel for some riders. This kit includes a complete engine set of friction plates, heavy-duty springs, and steel separator plates, engineered for reliable operation and longer service life.

FAQs
Do I need to replace my steel plates and springs too?
Yes, the EBC DRC42 kit includes a complete engine set, which means it contains new friction plates, steel separator plates, and heavy-duty springs for a full clutch replacement.
Will the uprated springs make my clutch lever hard to pull?
The DRC42 kit features 10-15% uprated springs, which generally result in a slightly firmer clutch lever feel. This is a common trade-off for increased performance and durability.
What kind of oil should I use with this clutch kit?
Always use the type and grade of motorcycle oil recommended in your motorcycle's owner's manual. Using automotive oil with friction modifiers can negatively impact clutch performance.
How long does it take to install the EBC DRC42 Clutch Kit?
Installation time can vary depending on your motorcycle model and your mechanical experience. Typically, it can take anywhere from 1 to 4 hours. Consulting your motorcycle's service manual is recommended.
Are these clutch plates designed for wet or dry clutch applications?
The EBC DRC Series clutches are designed for wet clutch applications, meaning they are intended to be used immersed in oil.
Can I mix EBC plates with my old plates?
It is strongly recommended to use all components from the EBC kit together for optimal performance and to avoid potential damage or premature wear from mixing different types of materials.
Troubleshooting
Clutch feels stiff or difficult to pull.
This can be normal with the 10-15% uprated springs. Ensure the clutch cable is properly lubricated and adjusted. If excessively stiff, re-verify correct spring installation.
Clutch slipping after installation.
Ensure friction plates were properly soaked in oil before installation. Verify that all components are correctly installed and that the clutch cable has adequate free play. Check that the correct type of oil is being used.
Unusual noises from the clutch area.
Check that all clutch components, including the basket and plates, are seated correctly and free from damage. Ensure the correct torque was applied to all fasteners.
Clutch drags (doesn't disengage fully).
Verify that the clutch lever has the correct amount of free play according to your motorcycle's service manual. Ensure no components are binding and that the plates are not sticking together.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Refer to your specific motorcycle's service manual for detailed clutch removal and installation procedures.
- Thoroughly clean all clutch components and the clutch basket before installation.
- Soak friction plates in fresh, appropriate motorcycle oil for at least 30 minutes before installation.
- Install plates and springs in the correct order as per the service manual.

Compatibility:
- The EBC DRC42 kit is designed for specific motorcycle models. Always verify fitment with your motorcycle's year, make, and model before purchase. Check the EBC Brakes website or consult a dealer for compatibility charts.
Care:
