Product Information
Full details
The EBC SRC Series Clutch Friction Plate & Spring Kit (SRC059) is engineered for riders of heavy sport bikes and production-based race bikes who require increased durability and consistent power transfer. By utilizing high-performance aramid paper-lined friction plates and heavy-duty clutch springs, this kit provides a significant performance upgrade over stock components, though riders should note that the stiffer springs may require a slightly firmer clutch lever pull during operation.

FAQs
Do I need to replace the steel plates when installing this kit?
While the kit includes friction plates, you should inspect your existing steel plates for bluing, warping, or scoring. If they are damaged, they should be replaced alongside the friction plates.
Will this kit make my clutch lever feel harder to pull?
Yes, because the kit includes heavy-duty springs designed for increased clamping force, the effort required to pull the clutch lever will be greater than the stock setup.
Can I use standard motorcycle oil with these plates?
Use only JASO-MA rated motorcycle oil. Avoid 'Energy Conserving' automotive oils, as they contain friction modifiers that will cause the clutch to slip.
Is this kit suitable for daily street commuting?
It is designed for sport and racing applications. While it functions on the street, the increased spring tension may cause rider fatigue in heavy stop-and-go traffic.
How long should I soak the plates before installation?
It is recommended to soak the friction plates in fresh engine oil for 30 to 60 minutes prior to assembly to ensure they are fully saturated.
Troubleshooting
Clutch feels like it is dragging or not fully disengaging
Adjust the clutch cable free-play or bleed the hydraulic clutch line to ensure the pressure plate moves far enough to clear the friction plates.
Clutch is slipping after installation
Verify that the correct engine oil is used (avoid oils with friction modifiers) and ensure the clutch pack stack height is within factory specifications.
Excessive noise from the clutch cover area
Check that all pressure plate bolts are torqued correctly and that the clutch basket is not excessively worn.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly higher durability than stock components
- Reduces clutch slippage under heavy load
- Consistent performance during high-stress riding
- Includes both friction plates and matching heavy-duty springs
Cons
- Requires a firmer lever pull due to heavy-duty springs
- Not intended for casual street riding where comfort is the priority
- May require mechanical expertise for proper installation
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installation, all new friction plates must be soaked in your motorcycle's specified engine oil for at least 30 minutes to prevent glazing upon first startup. Ensure that your clutch basket is inspected for notches or grooving, as these can impede the movement of the new plates and lead to premature failure. When installing the heavy-duty springs, tighten the pressure plate bolts in a cross-pattern to ensure even distribution of force. Routine maintenance involves checking your clutch cable tension or hydraulic system fluid levels, as the stiffer springs may cause the clutch to drag if the free-play is not adjusted correctly according to your vehicle's service manual.
