I received the Ducabike 5 spring kit yesterday. Pretty amped to get it installed. I am waiting on the clutch holder tool to arrive so I can install the kit.

Any pointers or tips to provide me? I've done clutch's in then past on ZX's. I watched a few video's and it seems straight forward. Just wondering if there's anything I need to know prior to cracking the cover off.

Thanks,

Is it a ball or riser system?

Well it's a ramp and bearing kit...

Easy Peasy. I've installed a STM on mine. Now I can downshift with impunity! Make sure you get the order correct so that a "steele" can't slip under the ramps. Friction goes in first.

If there's bearings in there it's a good idea to strip every 1k to keep them greased...I use ceramic grease on mine..

Thanks! I just read that actually. I had planned to install in reverse order. I guess factory has a steel against a steel in the back? This clutch will alternate steel then fiber etc from the back...? Much appreciated.

It's guess it's a safe assumption the dry clutch, especially with an open cover is much more maintenance than a wet clutch? Not an issue, but I only put 5k miles on my last 08. I rode so much track on my ZX10's that the HM was just a commuter bike, mostly. Other than an oil change I just rode it.
