Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: How do I know my clutch springs need replacing? A: Slipping under acceleration, a spongy lever, or measured free length below spec all point to tired springs. Replacing the full set at once keeps clamp force even across the clutch pack.

Q: Can I install these without special tools? A: Yes, a socket set and a torque wrench are typically enough once the clutch cover is off. Tighten the spring bolts evenly and in a cross pattern to avoid uneven load.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
