I just got a new EBC clutch kit. I'm confused with the order of parts. Does this kit install the same as the factory clutch? Do I need to install the old cushion ring? One clutch plate is smaller than the others. No instructions came in the kit. I do have a clymer manual for reference. I'm trying to get all info together for a hassel free install. Thanks for the replies.:)
 
did the ebc clutch come with an extra full size fiber, to replace the smaller diameter one and wave washer ?

the driveline performance clutch i run does include an extra full size fiber.
but the tusk kit in my black bike did not, i used the smaller diameter fiber, but left the wave washer out.
it's only to cushion the clutch for beginner riders, and is uneeded for proper operation.

the downloadable manual has a clutch diagram, here.....

start stacking with a fiber first, then steel, and so on, ending with a fiber
7 fibers and 6 steel plates
the smaller diameter fiber and wave washer are usually in the 2nd fiber position..... IIRC ?

you also want to rotate the locating tab on the steel plates 3-4 notch positions for each plate.... like 12 oclock, then 3, then 6 and so on until they are all installed.

also, if reusing the clutch basket and inner hub, look for grooves where the plates contact the slots, lightly file them flat if present.

the internal rod adjustment is likely to also need adjustment

Got it. This kit had one small plate. I got it all installed but need to pull it apart. I've got to file the ridges smooth on the clutch basket. So I don't need the cushion washer on install? Thanks Awk.:)
