Title: Soaking clutches
Post by: Pontiackid73 on February 29, 2012, 08:26:11 PM
Clutch came in the mail, now just waiting on gaskets and springs. So the question is; Is there anything detrimental about bagging the friction discs now even though it may be a few days before i put them on? I figure they sit in oil in the case so most likely no but im not sure.

I don't see what the problem would be. They get soaked for 1 hour before putting them on, and they're being soaked now being on the bike.

I've always soaked mine in oil a minimum of 24 hours before installing. I'm pretty sure that is a standard practice.

Cheers!
