EBC CK1218 and number of friction discs required


OnFire

Turns out my grabby cold clutch is still not fixed after bleeding the clutch system. I ordered the EBC kit CK1218, which comes with 8 discs, 7 normal + 1 with the larger inner Diameter. 

 

Looking at the service manual for the 04 VFR800, it shows 9 friction discs? Does anyone know if that is correct? How many friction disks do I need? 

 

Thanks, Thomas

From memory, when I replaced the clutch on my 01, they were all the same size, all 7 or 8 of them. 

I know the 00/01 5G's have the same clutch as the early 6gG's. 

A lot of the parts drawings , including workshop manuals show judder springs, which is why there are different size plates to fit over them, but the late 5G doesn't have them. I believe this is also the case with 6G to 2012. 

Also note that you should replace the clutch springs at the same time, they're cheap.

Thanks guys. Looks like there is lots of conflicting info out there. I have seen a parts fiche on a different site that only shows 3 discs :(

 

I'll just rely on EBC having it figured out and having the right number of disc in their CK1218 set that matches the VFR. I'll report back with what I find.

The fiche shows less plates in the picture, but if you look up the part (#8), you see qty 6...

Got it - Thanks Dutchy! I was just saying, I had found other fiches that showed 1 (not 6) as the quantity. The link you provided was very helpful!

yup, 8 discs it was - 7 + 1; if anyone wants to see pics let me know.

 

Thanks again for the help!
