EBC clutch plates - good value or a waste of money

[gandy666]

may have to do the clutch on my GSX 1100g this weekend.

sourcing friction plates at the moment.

some people say EBC are good, some say they're crap.

what do you think?

may go for genuine suzuki parts.

generally will i get away with just friction plates or should I change the whole lot - springs, spacers etc.

wont really know what I need until I take it apart tonight.

I use EBC friction disks in my clutch. I use my bike all year round but ride quite sensibly and don't use it on the track.

i would use ebc plates but i would also change the springs as well for the little that they cost

I put EBC plates and heavy duty springs in my ST clutch......no probs at all......no slip.....longevity?...dunno, only done a couple of thousand miles on mine, so it's a bit early to tell....

If your clutch has been slipping the steel plates will have got hot. If too hot , they will have warped or dished. You need to check them with a feeler gauge or Rizla paper.
