Fitting new Clutch

[Doofer]

Ive got a Bandit 1200 s, MK1, 1997. Im seriously thinking of replacing my clutch plates. Im trying to find a video link for instruction to re-build the clutch. The only footage i can find is for 600 clutch rebuild. I have a mechanical back ground and i know how to use tools, I just dont want any surprises along the way when taking things apart. Any advise on what to look out for and any hints on the replacement. Cheers peoples...

Yes, buy a manual and read it.........  the 1200 clutch springs are completely different to the 600, and only use genuine Suzuki fibers

You could just take the whole clutch out and bin it. I did the gsxr spring conversion last week. Wish I did it sooner as I now have a feather light lever along with a clutch with zero slip. Here's the link. Have a read of the 'gsxr coil spring clutch conversion' before you read the 'bandit coil spring conversion' above it.

Don't use EBC fiber plates or you will be doing it all other again within 200 miles. Use OEM ones.

Dont use kevlar plates with fully synthetic oil either, mine lasted ooooh 15 miles maybe. Ended up binning it and doing the mod. You can use the teapot 11 clutch parts as well as slabby, they are slightly different but held up fine on my nitrous drag bike...
