Replacing Clutch Plates
I recently purchased a clutch plate set for my '06 Katana 750. I'm just wanting to know if this is a difficult replacement to do. If I can do it myself I'd much rather do that than paying to have it done, obviously. Can anyone give me some basic instructions on how to do this? I have a little bit of mechanical knowledge, so if it's not too complicated, I should be able to do it. Thank you for any help!

Did you still need help with this? I noticed your post was unanswered.Last edited by chrisgreer23; 10-08-2010, 06:18 PM.I have embarked on the road of modding. Even if you BOLT ON new parts to a bike, there will be someone somewhere that has the same combination. With the Kat, you have a unique platform. Sure, some parts might be from other bikes, but no one will have the same combination. It will be truly yours and unique.

DO NOT overtighten the bolts on the clutch. They take almost no torque and they definitely will snap if you aren't careful. Other than that, it's not a difficult job.Any and all statements by Loudnlow7484 are merely his own opinions, and not necessarily the opinion of Katriders.com.

I did get the plates in there. It's actually very easy to do; anyone can do it. Hell, I'd say it's more of an issue getting the fairing off than actually replacing the plates.Comment

No need to soak them overnight, although it never hurts.
however they must be oiled well before installing them.
many kits for offroad use come pre-lubed for faster changing, however if you have a clean paint brush you can just wipe some synthetic oil on either side before you install the plate into the basket. its a lot less messy this way98 GSX750F
