Yamaha YZF R1 Spares - Clutch Plates
Clutches by EBC Brakes
EBC Brakes makes Friction plates and Springs for almost all the bikes
The SKR Aramid kits also come with pressure plates, including the friction plates and springs
Standard CK Series:
Complete Engine sets of stack height controlled friction plates featuring the EBC unique alloy particle impregnated clutch facings that prevent burn up or slippage.
- Perfect stack height
- Optimized life and friction performance balance
-------------------------------------------
SRC Street Racer Clutch Set:
An aramid paper lined plate set complete with heavy duty clutch springs.
SRC kit is ideal for heavy sport bikes, faster riders and production based race use.
Advantages of the SRC aramid series are longer life, higher heat resistance, although this clutch has a more aggressive/faster take up than the CK cork series.

CKF Carbon Fiber Lined Clutch Plate Sets:
For years EBC clutches have been the preferred choice of riders who want their off road clutches to last and work.
CKF is the name of the new EBC carbon fiber impregnated clutches and they are built tough to last longer, grip better, feel better and drive better than stock cork based units.
PLUS the high heat ability of these CKF Carbon Fiber clutch plates handles much higher stresses and temperatures encountered in racing, yet feel gentle and smooth in everyday riding.

CSK Coil & Diaphragm Clutch Spring Kits:
Complete Engine sets of stack height controlled friction plates featuring the EBC unique alloy particle impregnated clutch facings that prevent burn up or slippage.
It is important to note that you cannot change the basic shape of these springs to gain any performance advantage but what you CAN do is buy an EBC Brakes CSK kit which has slightly thicker winding material and delivers 10 – 15% more clamp pressure.
- This can help reduce clutch slip or fast clutch wear on your machine.
Clutch springs fall into two basic types:-
Coil springs
These are spiral wound springs using four to eight pieces per set, made from heat treated high carbon steel and come in various shapes and sizes, delivering differing spring tensions depending on the size of the bike and the horsepower of your engine.
Diaphragm Springs
These are dish shaped flat steel pressure rings and there are normally only one or two in a bikes engine
Note:- All springs get tired and should be replaced at every engine rebuild or clutch overhaul
