skov Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 Hi all, Does anyone know if the 315 clutch plates from Haven are any good? Will they stop my clutch acting like an on-off switch? Or would I be better off going or one of the other options - i.e. apico, mitani, CR250? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christoff Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 Hi I tried them and didnt find them that much better. Had best results with standard plates and remove 2 (take out opposites) of the pressure springs and just run 4. The reduced pressure makes the clutch much easier to control and less on - off. The only downside is that you can get a little slippage at high throttle openings on the road and if wanting to be fast accross the moors. Worked for me for over 2 years with no real problems Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montman Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 I used them many years ago and found them very good except sticking at start-up as alot of plates do unless you change the oil very regularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tt5th Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 The haven friction plates definately made a difference but the Apico steel plates seemed to make more of a difference. Combination of those with PJ1 oil and I get a tiny bit of binding at the start of the day and after that its good to go everytime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I finally got around to trying this today. What a difference it made! It's much smoother and it didn't feel like the bike was constantly fighting me. Not only is it less on-off, but it's lighter too - I completed todays trial without a hint of my usual clutch-finger-fade Thanks very much Christoff, that's saved me shelling out a load of cash on a new clutch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
