RE: CBR1000f Clutch
I just replaced my clutch on 1990 CBR1000F after 65,000 km so here is my view..... After such low mileage the clutch should not be a problem. The hydrolic mechanism has no adjustmet so dont worry about that except ensure first it is working OK and no dirty fluid. If sombody put fully synthetic oil (or additives)in the bike then this can cause slip - stick to the reccomended oil.Replace clutch parts only as needed.(Mine after 65,000k - all parts were still in spec so maybe you will only need fibre plates.)
I used Barnett clutch kit (kevlar) only becaust I got it cheap - dont wory about "heave duty" stuff it is not needed. Honda, Barnett & ECB all OK - buy what you can get cheapest in your area.
Took me 1 hour to do replacement and I'm no mechanic - but I can follow instructions - make sure you have touque wrench for spring bolts... See this site for detailed clutch replacement with magnificent pictures.

Synthetic oil will make a clutch slip.

Not throwing stones TBT, just a difference of opinion.

RE: CBR1000f Clutch
I just did the clutch on my 90 cbr same thing around 7 to 8 thousandrpm it would slip only when on it hard pulled it apart looked good.Fibers were fine steels wernt glazed .I redid it with a barnettkevlar set also when i checked the springs they were about 3 eights off in height leading me to belive i just had weak springs.But i can feel the difference in the way she screams now .by the way what do you guys torque the springs to i thought it was 6 or 9 ftlbs i went with 9 ftlbs
