I got new Alto plates and new yamaha steels in stock You usually just need to add one steel to your existing 7 What year is your clutch?
Yes you can. Read this thread.77, its the D model. 7 friction, 6 steel. But you're saying that I can put 8 friction plates on with those alto plates?
Tell us a little more about what was wrong to start with and how the install went? Scratching my head here but adding washers would make things worse?I am currently trying to resolve my grabby clutch with 8 plates, I believe the issue may stem from the springs compressed height. I am going to pull the RH cover back off this weekend and see if adding washers under the retaining bolts improves engagement.
Watch clearance from bolt heads to the side cover, there's not a lot of extra room. I'd be concerned the "tic tac" would cock in the bore and bind?I'm reassembling a bike with a hydraulic clutch from xs650shop.de. I got everything back together and it the slave piston wouldn't travel far enough to release the clutch pressure plate. I deduced that my pushrod needed to be slightly longer, so I made a tic tac shaped piece of metal in lieu of the ball bearing. This gave me separation of the clutch plates as observed, but when reassembled and tested it has a notchy/grabby feel to it. I've had this problem before on a yz250f that I was racing and it turned out that the inner clutch basket towers were slightly too short or the pressure plate bolts/spacers were to short, or the springs were too long/thick. When you try to compress the springs the coils bottom out on themselves because the cavity they are inside isn't long enough to begin with. Since I don't have the original clutch disks/springs/screws to try, I'm going to give it a 6mm washer's worth of extra space. and see if that increases my available travel enough to improve the engagement.

So no machining the clutch hub face then? This is good news. My heavy duty clutch springs reduced the slipping but did not eliminate it. Mostly a non issue, but full throttle application at highway speeds still gets me some slip at high revs. Sometimes I wonder if the vibration at high revs is causing a resonance in the springs affecting their clamping force.
Hi Gary. What is the current price, and shipping to Ontario?
Hey Gary,
Are these clutch conversion sets still available from you?
Will follow-up with a PM, sorry for the delayed response.Yes Sir!
Great mod, I did mine and really like the performance!Will follow-up with a PM, sorry for the delayed response.
