03-05 R6 06-09 R6s Clutch How-To (diy)

DIY: How to replace the Clutch on a R6
03 - 05 R6
06 - 09 R6s

Done with OEM Parts (same procedure with aftermarket parts)
- (6) Friction Plates: 4FN-16321-00-00 (red color reference tab)
- (2) Friction Plates: 5SL-16321-00-00 (purple color reference tab)
- (7) Pressure Plates: 3J2-16324-00-00
- (1) Pressure Plate: 168-16324-00-00 (thicker than the other 6)
- (6) Clutch Springs: 90501-237L0-00
- Clutch Cover Gasket: 5SL-15461-01-00

Torque reference:
-Pressure Plate Bolts 10mm: 5.8 ft.lbs (8 Nm)
-Clutch Cover Bolts & Cable Bracket Bolts 5mm Hex: 8.7 ft.lbs (12 Nm)

****Important notes****
-Soak the Friction Plates in Fresh Oil for at least a half hour before installing them.
-Do not remove the coolant hose unless you plan on draining the coolant prior.
-Clean off old gasket material (use a razor blade if needed)
-Line the Dot on the pressure plate up with the small Dot on the Clutch Basket
-Arrow on the Clutch Cover (above the shaft arm) should line up with the marking on the arm when the arm is pushed forward by hand (until it stops).
-Some people say you need to drain the oil. Oil was not drained before this install, if the bike has been sitting for a day or 2 it should not make a mess of oil.


Video does not include how to remove/install the Lower Left Faring (if you can't manage that on your own you shouldn't attempt to do the clutch)

which clutch would you recommnd for a 2007 yamaha r6s. also how can i tell the torque of the wrench? can i just use regular wrench?

[ju190]

@JumbleBoxproduction - you need a torque wrench, a regular wrench is not good enough when it comes time to tighten the springs.

@crazy4honda no we would just rather not spend another 45 minutes scrubbing our hands if we dont have to

@ju190 hey man how can you tell when its time for a new clutch??

[MikeN02]

Appreciate this. What type of camera did you use to record this? It's clear and great in-door quality.

[TorqueRider2000]

what oil was used to soak the clutch? is any motor oil ok??

[crazy4honda]

@NOexcusesRC What the hell are you talking about? A wet motorcycle clutch rides in a BATH of OIL. You SOAK the plates and discs in OIL before installing them. What makes you think "finger juice" will cause premature failure? Perhaps in a dry clutch setup your point could hold water, and even then only if you had just finished lathering up your hands with Jheri Curl.

@crazy4honda lol get your hand juice on the plates and see how long your clutch lasts.....................
