FAQs
Does this kit include everything I need for a rebuild?
Yes, the DRC070 is a complete kit containing all necessary friction discs, steel plates, and replacement springs for your Yamaha YZ 125.
Do I need to soak the plates before installing them?
Yes, it is standard practice to soak the new friction plates in your motorcycle's recommended engine oil for a few hours before installation.
Can I use this kit for street riding?
While it fits the YZ 125, which is an off-road motorcycle, it will perform exceptionally well if the bike is used in supermoto or dual-sport applications.
Why are these steel plates better than aluminum?
Steel plates are significantly more resistant to heat, meaning they do not warp as easily as aluminum under heavy load, leading to a longer-lasting clutch.
How often should I change my clutch plates?
This depends heavily on your riding style. If you notice signs of slipping or if neutral becomes hard to find, it may be time for an inspection or replacement.
Troubleshooting
Clutch feels overly heavy at the lever
The reinforced springs included in the kit are stiffer than stock; ensure the clutch cable is well-lubricated and properly adjusted to minimize resistance.
Clutch is slipping shortly after installation
Verify that the friction plates were soaked in oil and check that the clutch cable has sufficient free play at the lever.
Difficulty finding neutral
This is often caused by an incorrect clutch cable adjustment; ensure the clutch is fully disengaging when the lever is pulled.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This kit is engineered specifically for the Yamaha YZ 125. Before installation, ensure the engine oil is drained properly. It is highly recommended to soak the new friction plates in fresh engine oil for several hours before assembly to prevent glazing. Always torque the clutch pressure plate bolts to the manufacturer's specified value to avoid warping. During the break-in period, avoid aggressive clutch dumping to allow the plates to seat correctly. Regular oil changes using high-quality motorcycle-specific oil are essential to maintain the friction material's longevity.
