My F2's clutch has been slipping lately and I'm going to tear into it to hopefully find the problem or replace the plates. Does anybody know the minimum thickness that the friction plates and especially the steel plates can be? In addition, what is the range for the free length of the clutch springs? I have the Honda common and F2 manuals from online, but they don't say jack about any specific numbers. Or if you know that they give the numbers, could you tell me where in the manual it has that info?

On that note, has anyone here had better luck with Kevlar plates as opposed to the regular fiber ones?

 

For 92 friction plate thickness std is 2.92mm - 3.08mm
service limit is 2.6mm

Spring free length is 48.9mm
service limit is 47.5

Hope that helps.

 

Thanks so much! Do you happen to know the steel plate thickness numbers, too? Or will I be able to tell by looking at the thickness from the inner gear section to the part that interfaces with the friction pads?

 

Not sure on the steels. I checked my haynes manual and it didn't mention anything about them. Sorry.
