Manual doesn't show extra thrust washers but mentions it in later revision , parts book I've got for 83 on shows it . End of the day clutch started to slip so changed the plates and that's all ,wouldn't expect to have to mix and match plates with an off the shelf replacement specific kit . Live and learn , oem plates way forward

Can you fit a set of new oem plates and use oem, original steels that aren't blued/warped if you have some to hand?
New oem is next on the list , steels are fine. Everyone on here says oem but thought that was a longevity issue not the clutch working or not . 2.6 mm vs just over 3mm for sps ones makes the stack plus 3mm if me maths is right

Yup chatters like a cunt but works with old plates in , will be making another phone call to supplier in morning. While been typing this with bike running ,chatter died down . All this hassle cause of a set of shit plates

My efe one drags a bit if that's any constellation.
Was fine before mate, think the sps fibres are too thick , going to chuck the old ones back in , even though they slipped are strangely 2.6 mm or a smidgen above .oh that piano wire that holds the first steel and gubbins , is it important as could not get it on new drum

And another one into the fold , what's the story ? Looks good for resto , ride as is or mod

Would seem that there were numerous small tweaks over the years , now i have a manual,new clutch inner should be here this week and even this changed early on with longer bolts and bushes used and that has again been superceded by a steel centre one , think I'll just take me time and double check everything , thanks all for the input.

Now I've got me glasses back on what do we think to this ? Can't think that anything is there to make contact

It's always the simple things , in this case the owner

Whats the basket and inner hub like ?
If there are ridges where the plates sit then they won't help with clutch disengagement
Not too bad for 47000 miles , ordered a 16 valve manual so will wait for that before stripping again just to be sure everything else is right , someone mentioned the thrust and Bush washers being other way round if it was the ten plate model but ebc list all of them 9 plates finishing with a fibre

had the same issue with my 1100, went back to OEM plates and new OEM springs
Got the oem springs back in , guess I'll try the old plates back in and apart from them slipping if the clutch works properly that's me answere

Check the starting position of the arm on the case
if it's at wrong angle before clutch is pulled in you can have a lot of wasted motion ..
Just wound all the adjusters in and moved the arm , still dragging, never had this before, all I've done is change the plates
-
Still dragging, got king track fibres and changed one of the steels that was a bit sticky , so assuming I've got the washers in the right orientation as mentioned at the start of the thread is is worth trying the old plates to see if the new ones are the problem , it rides OK just have to adjust all the free play out and then some , add another steel ?

I think I'd start with getting some miles on it, bed it in and get a few heat cycles through it then see how it is.
Took it apart again just after fitting and noticed one of the steels was tight or awkward fit on the drum so put it at the top , just pulled it out and its not a good fit compared to the others ,don't know why but new one arriving Wednesday. Looks like the efe coming out to play tomorrow

Good job too, I don't think the shed wall could take much more clutch freeing!
Bloody thing still dragging with new trac king plates from sps, thinking about changing one of the friction plates for an old one ?

Cheers mate , getting a few miles in to bed the clutch in

Silly question, but has the clutch cable got sufficient freeplay? If so, have you tried running it with the clutch lever pulled in until warm to check whether the plates are sticking?
Good point . Spent weeks fucking around with gsxr 11 clutch to no avail .struck her up put it in gear and nailed it , problem solved . Did find one of the steels was a bit sticky in the esd basket so may have to get some new ones. But think the burnout method will be the first port of call

Well it's still not disengaging but dragging when in gear when pushing so. . Think ill start her up at weekend to look see . Oh took the heavy duty clutch springs out too ! Um when i first posted this i hadn't removed the back basket so I'm wondering if the new clutch plates are right ? Assuming so as they came from sps . Guess I'll have to take the cover back off and have another look see . Thanks for the help , appreciate it
