Can't help with any pics, but its simpler than a simple thing to do, and fairly self explanatory once you remove the cover.
Just undo the ring of 6mm bolts which have springs behind them, and remove the top plate, you can then take each friction
plate etc out of the clutch basket one by one.
just make a note of the order as you strip it out, and reverse when assembling.

I would add to soak the new friction plates in oil before fitting them, or atleast wet them over when you fit them into the hub. Its really easy to
do, makes a car look horrible and i did mine in minutes not hours. Just be carefull will all the bolts, they dont need racking up just a nice manly
nip (with locktight).
Also if the ZX9 is like the ZX12 when taking the cover off, you have to turn the release arm (the bit the cable attaches too) as it wont just pull
straight off, but still easy.
Sorry about my spelling, im an engineer and only work in numbers.

iv took the clutch out today it is a zx9r c1, is it rite for the friction plates not to go/face the same way. also i was replacing the clutch as when
driving semi hard it dont like coming down the gear box at all, sounds like your trying to grind the gearbox teeth off. the clutch i took out seems
just as good as the new 1 though. so could it be a gearbox problem i.e selector or something
