#1 PostAuthor: trekker-zed » Sat Jan 26, 2013 9:40 pm

Hi, i'm new on here but not to zeds. i have a Gpz 1100 b2 82 x reg. 1170.
I'm about to fit a new clutch and wondered if any one has experience of the kits available. Looked at the Ebc srk kevlar kit with stronger springs or shoud,l i go Ebc cork, bit concerned bout the faster take up of the kevlar n stronger springs. Are the 10% stronger springs gonna need a gorilla hand or is it not too noticable. Need to get it right first time, Oh what to do ?
Anybody ? Thanks.

I would use the zpower replacement plates. I run a 1170 b1 with a heavy clutch kit and it is as you say heavy to use the standard set up is good enough

A mate of mine works in a bike shop and says the EBC stuff is rubbish they disintegrate and just mess up the oil.

He recommends STANDARD or at worst a Barnett clutch.

You pays your money and take your choice though!
