Steve - 14/5/13 at 08:12 PM

Just acquired myself a 1989 zx10 for my locost going to put a new clutch in before fitting in the car,as this is my first bike engine was just wondering what to fit and if I need to do anything extra. Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers steve

OEM kawasaki fibers and steels are best, worth getting a set of heavy duty springs since you are carting around a lot more weight. Also check that the fibers haven's made notches in the fingers of the clutch basket, this can stop the engagement/disengagement being smooth.
