BEC clutch change
Hi all!
I'm about to change my clutch on my honda CBR
I have Barnett springs and honda clutch to go in.
I'm gonna soak friction plates over night in the oil.
But is there any advice that I need to do before I start the job tomorrow evening.
Any special tools? Any torque setting on the springs etc
I have the Haynes manual but I'd like to hear your experience
Thanks in advance
Oli

Don't soak the plates in synthetic oil.
Use a standard mineral bike oil.

Do not over tighten the spring retainers, easy to strip the threads then the basket is toast.

Just use a 1/4" wrench and hold the head, not the arm, you can feel when the spring plate has touched the basket then just a little nip.
The book probably have a torque in inches per pound, not foot per pound, a massive difference!
And work around evenly when you remove and install, one turn per head then the next one.

Best to check on CBR forum though.

Ok so all good friction plates are soaking need to get bit more oil to completely cover but all good!
But the plates do I need to soak them?
Also comparing to old both original honda they look different do I need to be concerned?
Cheers guys
