EXTRA PLA

TE CLUTCH KIT

Part # 1048-0026

This kit consists of 9 Kevlar friction plates, 8 steel plates and a 15% stronger than stock diaphragm spring.

The clutch plates should be pre-soaked for about 10-15 minutes in the same fluid you will be using in the
motorcycle. The fluids we recommend are any HD petroleum-based, non-synthetic primary oil, as light weight
as possible, or even a good petroleum-based motor oil such as 10/40 or 20/50 in weight. You can even use
ATF Type “F” or B&M Trickshift.

THE USE OF SYNTHETICS IS NOT RECOMMENDED AS THEY TEND TO CAUSE SLIPPAGE.

INSTALLATION:
Start with a friction plate and end with a friction plate. 1990-1997 Big Twins and 1991-Present Sportster

will have a double-riveted steel plate which will look like 2 steel plates with rivets all the way around with
small springs inside. WITH THIS KIT YOU WILL NOT RE-USE THIS PLATE.

With the removal of the thick plate, this kit accomodates 1 more friction and 1 more steel and still retains the
OEM stack height.

As for the 2003 & later Buell®XB9R, you will have 1 odd friction plate with a spring dampener and a seat
spring dampener that will fit inside the very first friction plate. Remove all those pieces as you will not use

them with this kit.

Since this kit is an extra plate kit, you must use all 9 frictions and 8 steels, along with the matched diaphragm
spring for optimum performance.

These are just some helpful tips. For further technical assistance, always refer to your service manual.
