wombat258 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 The best clutch frictions are genuine from Suzuki. Stay away from kevlar or carbon based compounds. 3 Quote Link to comment
Rsk_141 Posted May 31, 2016 Author Share Posted May 31, 2016 That comes in at Twice the price of ebc, Ouch! Standard or HD springs? Quote Link to comment
wombat258 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Standard engine should only need standard springs. Quote Link to comment

What's wrong with kevlar and carbon frictions? No experience with either off them.. Just curious. Quote Link to comment
Fula28 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 (edited) +1 for o.e.m frictions , carbon or Kevlar seem to discolour the oil quickly and are more prone to slipping with hard use, I've used all sorts over years but o.e.m seem to be stress free. Barnett seem OK in bandits but I've only used o.e.m in my slabbie .As for springs kibblewhite are very good, for more base pressure, if not just shim std ones with correct o.d washers allways a cheap quick fix.

My experience is that kevlar frictions are more prone to slippage, and I have had clutch shudder with carbons in a race application. Stockers are grippier, and have a predictable lockup point.

Rsk_141 Posted June 4, 2016 Author Share Posted June 4, 2016 Got some blue steel plates As for friction plates OEM is the recommended way forward Can you replace individual steel plates or is it best to replace them all? Also I can see the theory behind OEM friction, what about Steel will TRW aftermarket plates be ok? Quote Link to comment
Screwriverracing Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 As long as the plates aren't warped shot blast them and reuse. Cheers SRR Quote Link to comment
Rsk_141 Posted June 5, 2016 Author Share Posted June 5, 2016 Will check them on some glass, to see if there straight, but it will probably cost more time and money to get them shot blasted, as buying new ones. Quote Link to comment
Gixer1460 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Bluing is usually surface burnt oil - will come off with scotchbrite - they'd have to get actually red hot to lose temper and properly 'blue up' 1 Quote Link to comment
Screwriverracing Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Shot blasting them roughens them up a bit and gives more grip, never had a problem with them and never used anything but the original that came with my bike and a lock up, and it's got a Turbo. Cherrs SRR Quote Link to comment

Gixer1460 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 .......which contains salt! So probably not the best engine detergent! Quote Link to comment
Rsk_141 Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 Everyday is a school day, and a good point well brought out, but it not rust it a gunge, orange and in some places a blue green sludge. Quote Link to comment
