New clutch plates? confused.

[HighRisk]

Hey all, the clutch is blown on my katana, If i rev past 3-4k i get no power it's like its in neutral. Im fairly certain it's the clutch but i've never changed one myself. Anyone know what i'll need to buy to get her back on the road? My father, a mechanic for cars. Says i need new clutch plates but he's not too helpful. Anyone got any tips?

try an oil change and check that the clutch wire has some play when you let go first before you change the clutch.

If you replace the clutch pack just order up new bolts while you're at it.

Alright. Gonna open it up today when i get home. Ordered new plates anyhow, I will probably need them eventually anyhow. What are some things im looking for besides the plates and pads being black?

Check the basket for excessive grooving, a new gasket also.

if your kit dont come with new steel plates have your old ones beed blasted : about 10 bucks : and most cases its the week springs that go bad , did you use the wrong oil to make it slip ? do you have clutch slack play ?

J went to take the cover off and its stuck on... ive tried hitting it with a rubbet mallet while pulling from the fill hole and no luck.... any suggestions?

I think i tore the clutch up with all the wheelies... :/ it was slipping a bit when i bought it.
