FAQs

Do I need to replace my clutch springs when installing this kit?

Yes, the EBC DRC Series Clutch Kit includes new heavy-duty clutch springs which should be installed as part of the kit for optimal performance and compatibility.

How long should I soak the friction plates before installation?

It is recommended to soak the friction plates in the appropriate transmission oil for at least 24 hours prior to installation to ensure adequate lubrication and prevent premature glazing.

What type of oil should I use with this clutch kit?

Always refer to your Aprilia AF1 125's service manual for the recommended type of transmission oil. Using the incorrect oil can damage the clutch components.

Is this kit suitable for a daily rider or only for racing?

While designed with performance and racing in mind due to its heavy-duty components, it also provides a durable and precise clutch replacement for daily riding, restoring the bike to new-like clutch performance.

How do I know if my clutch basket or hub needs replacing?

Inspect the edges of the clutch basket and hub where the plates sit for deep grooves or 'notches'. Significant wear may require replacement of these components along with the clutch plates.

What is the break-in period for a new clutch kit?

It is generally advisable to allow a break-in period of approximately 200-300 miles (300-500 km) of mixed riding, avoiding aggressive acceleration and prolonged clutch slipping, to allow the new plates to bed in properly.

Troubleshooting

Clutch slipping after installation

Ensure friction plates were properly soaked in oil before installation. Verify that all plates and springs are installed correctly and that clutch cable free play is set according to the service manual. Check for any oil leaks that could contaminate the clutch plates.

Difficulty shifting gears

Confirm clutch cable adjustment is correct. Ensure all clutch plates are installed in the correct order and fully seated. Check for any binding in the clutch lever mechanism.

Clutch feels grabby or inconsistent

Re-inspect plate installation for any burrs or debris. Ensure proper soaking of friction plates. Verify the clutch basket and hub are not notched or worn.
