03 Cr clutch question
I'm thinking of going in and having a look at my clutch this winter to see how its wearing. When replacing the clutch i notice in the manuel there are a series of aluminum and metal plates as well as a series of friction plates. When replacing the clutch pack do you have to replace everything as an assembly or can you just replace the friction discs? The bike is only a year old but i do abuse the clutch somewhat as i ride in the mountains alot. Just wondering what to look for and what to replace. Should i go OEM or aftermarket. If i go aftermarket, what are some good options? I hear of some guys using steel plates instead of the aluminum OEM ones. I hear of some guys having problems with the aftermarket discs swelling and causing problems. Wich manufacturers are these? Is it an option to replace the aluminum discs with steel and then use OEM friction plates? I love the action of my clutch the way it is and don't want a stiffer pull, but wouldn't mind the flywheel effect of the steel plates not to mention less particles in my oil that is always silver in color
Thanks for any input
