1) How thick is a new inserted plate, how about the wear limit?
2) What's the free length of a new clutch spring, how about the serviceable limit? Has anyone tried stiffer ones on a race bike? |

I put an extra clutch plate in my bikes. I'll look in the book for the spring sizes, et cetera. |

Crooks Suzuki sell stiffer clutch springs - you'll need them if you have upped the engine power by much.
They make the clutch drag when the engine is cold, but are fine when it has warmed up. |

Spen, just wondering which type of extra plate you put in your bikes. The friction plate (cork one) or the insert plate (metal one). I am having a bit of trouble putting my clutch back together, and am wondering if this wouldn't help. Thanks! |

Metal plate. |

So it's metal on metal then? I guess this is a wet clutch so it would be ok right? |

Yes, as they are held in place next to each other and can't spin with respect to each other.
The T20 doesn't need an extra plate though. It is fine as it is, just fit stiffer springs if you are racing it... |

Is adding an extra metal clutch plate a good idea if the cork friction plates are worn out? Will this temporarily fix the problem or will it just open a whole other can of worms? |

All I can say is try it and see......
Crooks Suzuki sell new friction plates at £10 each. |
