Clutch appears to be slipping a lot, and I have squibbled the jibbly on the cluch lever all the way in as far as it can go (whereas doing so previously would have actually engaged the clutch, now it can be done).

So the adjustment is to the hilt yet it still slips. I am assuming this means my dry clutch needs replacing?

Do I have to replace the whole thing or I guess I can buy just the plates or something?

Cheers

Ashley

You can just buy the plates and something

Genuine Honda are best or a complete upgrade kit from NSR-WORLD.

OK thanks. I'll have to take a look in the marketplace section when it goes out of maintainence.

Is replacing the clutch plates something which can be done oneself or does it require specialized tools?

If it's an SP then it's a piece of pudding. Could probably be done in under 10 minutes if you had to.

R spec is a different kettle of bananas. Will take longer as you'll need to drain the oil (and water), or tip the bike over on it's side if you're a tight arse as the cover needs to come off, so will probably require a new gasket as well.

On the SP, once you've got the fairing out the way all you need is 10mm T bar, and a torque wrench with a 10mm socket. Oh and maybe a couple of pokeys to pick the plates out.

R is pretty much the same in the way of tools. Nothing special required.

Of course if you have the adjuster backed out all the way, you may want to change out the clutch cable as well when you do the plates. Could have a worn/stretched clutch cable along with worn clutch plates.

Contact Andy directly, as the store probably won't be up anytime soon, or contact one of the supporting vendors for quicker ordering.

I have been to Queens and while you could probably get your jibblys squibbled for a 20 rock I sure don't remember them talking that way. And if you wanted to involve pudding and bananas it would certainly cost you an additional fat 20.

Where I live you can get your jibblys squibbled in a banana pudding for far less than a score.

And it doesn't matter if you can speak the Queen's English or not.

If you're holding folding, you're sorted.

I tried sending Andy a PM but I got no response. Are you around? Got any clutch plates?


So I have an SP engine.

Do all the SP engines use the same clutch plates?

Do I need just the clutch plates? Or do I need the cable as well? Are there any other clutch related parts that might need replacing?

I don't know who the supporting vendor's are, if you are reading this supporting vendors, do you have the parts I need?

Cheers

Ashley

the supporting vendors are in the banner at the top of the page....so the likes of redline, TYGA, and jap4performance

If you're changing the clutch plates, are you replace both the corks and steels? You should measure your clutch springs to see if they need replacing at the same time. Yes you should check your clutch cable to see if it is frayed or worn so you know whether or not that needs replacement too.

OK thanks. So basically I need to remove the clutch assembly and do the following four things:

1) Measure the springs
2) Look at the cork plates
3) Look at the metal plates
4) Look at the clutch cable

This leads me to ask the following three questions:

1) Where can I find information about how long the springs should be?
2) What am I looking for with regard to the cork plates?
3) What am I looking for with regard to the metal plates?

Thanks

Ashley

ok i hear the silent cries of RTFM

I just realized there is a workshop section with a handy set of instructions with regard to the clutch installation
