Hi Guys, I have removed the engine from my GL1100, ( no major reason, just giving the old girl a damn good clean up, repaint etc ) and have obtained some replacement Clutch friction plates from EBC ( CK1159 )...however the new plates are all the same width ( except the last one has wider lugs ) but when I've checked the ones I have in and cross referenced with the manual, I findthat the lastfriction plate is slightly narrower than the others.Also the original plates look in very good condition anyway ...my questions ( at last I hear you shout )
1) will it make a difference to replace the whole set with my EBC set and ignore thewidth of the last plate ?
2) could I put the 7 new plates in andre-use the last 8th plate from the previous set.
3) or should I leave well alone...even though I have the engine out, the old plates to my knowledge are approx 6 year old and about 6,000 - 10,000 miles old ( but can't be sure).
Finally is there any test I should be doing on the alternator whilstthe unit is out...bear in mind there were no electrical issues before engine removal.
thanks in anticipation guys.
