Remove the clip, the ally centre will come out there is a nut behind.
This is a diaphragm spring clutch, if its slipping just ad another spring or do both plates and extra spring.

Hey Scotty, I did a bit of research on lockups & according to the experts, adding another diaphragm gives a fuckload more clamping pressure (makes sense) at the expense of a heavier lever (that won't worry a dirt dragracer because they're all hard as nails & strong as Gorillas ;))
I've organised a diaphragm from Deano's spares box for my 1100F & I reckon you should whack one in as well when you replace the pack.

remove clip , undo nut remove diaphragm system replace with new fibres deglaze steels , install 2 diaphragms and ill be sweet , apart from the heavy lever , am i right ?? cheers fellas

Aren't there two springs as stock? I thought that
I ran one stock and one heavy spring in mine.
Spring was "factory" brand from the US.
Better at the drags but heavy at the lever for
all day use.

I used to think coil spring conversion was the way
To go, but I've had a few folk say they are very
happy with their diaphragm lock ups on high hp motors.

There is 2 standard just add another.

[Tony Nitrous]

Never tried adding a 3rd. Interesting.
I swapped one stock for one heavy duty.
Stock clutch couldn't hold a non-progressive NOS
hit coming in hard. Worked OK with the swapped spring.
Didn't know you could add a 3rd instead ?

or get yourself some heavy duty barnett diaphrams thats what i have in my bandit and they are fucking awesome

[Redmohawk]

From memory they only really go to the coil spring setup for the stronger basket in real high HP motors.

cheers fellas pulled her apart last night , got the plates out the middle ones where pretty dry and the steels have some wicked colours to them , rang the localish suzi mob 270 bucks just for fibres they can jam that got a ballistic set for 120 plus postage , then tried to hunt down another diaphragm no luck rang back suzuki for gasket and asked about a spring in stock new $10.50 so got that coming too

Oem Suzuki fibre are reported to be far superior to aftermarket. On a 100hp bike maybe not such an issue

[Tony Nitrous]

I replaced mine with more genuine Suzuki.
They held up well with the stronger springs.

I've used stock diaphragm clutch since around '98 with standard fibres but extra one on 150 rwhp 1216 GSXR and never had an issue.

Admittedly I don't drag but I am reasonably harsh with clutching wheelies in second and stuff!

Everyone tells me they're crap but I can't say the same, perhaps just me???
