tazzer1993 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Hello everyone.As the first gear on the NC30 is really tall, my clutch has taken a right hammering. As a result, I am looking at replacing it. My question here is, is it ok to just replace the friction plates? I would rather not replace the whole damn thing if I can avoid it due to being damned expensive for a genuine Honda clutch.Thanks in advance for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastanglianbiker Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 i would replace both sets of plates at same time as the steel ones might have slight warpage or curves to them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzer1993 Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 I was afraid someone was going to say that. Urggh. Might as well just buy the whole thing then. Any ideas how much of a pain this is going to be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastanglianbiker Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 friction plates about £10 each steel plates about £6 each roughly would be worth ringing about to ask prices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzer1993 Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 I've had a hunt around and come across some Gecko plates for £40. That's friction and steel plates in one pack. Ever used them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastanglianbiker Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 never heard of them personally i would go with ebc or something similar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fro Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Was that on Wemoto? They also do the EBC for ~£60. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Gecko are shit get EBC don't scrimp you will regret it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzer1993 Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 Well, that's settled that EBC it is then. Anyone ever done the clutch on the NC30? I've heard that removing the starter clutch is a pain in the ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzer1993 Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 Now I guess the question is... What type? EBC SRC or EBC SRK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastanglianbiker Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 shouldnt need to touch starter clutch to change the plates as they are just inside the clutch casing and housed in their own cage seperate from starter clutch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzer1993 Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 Fair enough. I think I will take my time over this one seeing as the clutch is a rather important part of the machine! haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazzer1993 Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 its a doddle to change That's either true or a way of lulling me into a false sense of security. I'm unsure as to which that is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Its true Well its easy for me to do anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzer1993 Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 Works for me. After all, you never know until you try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastanglianbiker Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 dont forget to drain the oil and possibly the water out of the engine first always use a new gasket on clutch case and any other cases you have to remove and dont forget to replace washer/seal on sump plug before refitting it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
