where to get clutch discs?

[Anonymous]

Assuming i need to replace clutches, so im wondering where i can get them and what are different prices. Ive heard its like $125 to go through suzuki, and i found this http://www.partsnmoreonline.com/PNMS...H%20PLATES.htm, but $4*8=$32 seems to good to be true. Thanx. And I'm looking to save money, also the bike is an 82 gs750t

ron ayers is a good place for parts online.

www.denniskirk.com is a great place to buy. Their website is very nicely set up to buy on-line.

If your just needing the fiber plates, try JC Whitney. I did alot of research on the fiber plates they sell. I called JCW and got the name of the manufacturer and found them on the web. I also called them. The manufacturer is a well known company in the tranny/clutch/pressure plate world. I have had them in my bike for over 2 years and never had a problem. The manufacturer is Alto. Their website is www.altousa.com.

thanx for the help everyone, i went ahead and ordered from dennis kirk, i got the parts unlimited pro series clutch discs and vesrah heavy duty springs. But not being to quick i forgot to order a gasket. Has anyone had any leak problems with silicone on the clutch cover? Thanx.

Forget the silicone. The last thing you need is little lumps of silicone goo clogging your internal oil galleys. New gasket about $5. Tearing down engine because of oil starvation due to silicone goop, about $1000......if youre lucky.

where can i get a gasket at? Thanx?

Probably the best thing to do is just go to your local Suzi shop and order one.
It shouldnt cost you more than 5-6 bucks.
UPS shipping charges would cost more than the gasket if you ordered it from Dennis kirk. :-) If I was going to order online, my first choice would be to go to cycle recycle's online store

You can also phone them if you dont see what you need.
2nd choice would be ronayers.com
I have had very good luck and service with them also/

went with bikebandit for the gasket, they had it for like 8 plus shipping, so that sucks but i wanna make sure i have it by next weekend and our dealerships are usually very slow on parts.

For future access, you might want to call around in your area, Some shops have a CNC gasket cutting machine. With these machines, one selects the bike model, then the gasket number from a diagram on the monitor, punches in the numbers and the machine auto cuts a gasket. Usually, any non metallic gasket for any bike can be made in minutes.

I agree with Earl and generally tend to stay away from the silicon sealant whenever possible. I do remember seeing a pontiac engine years ago that had been damaged due to sealant clogging up at least one of the oil passages.

When I changed my clutch a couple of months ago I just bought some gasket material and cut my own gasket. The material is usually available at most auto parts stores and is very easy to cut. I did use some Indian gasket compound in the two areas where the top and lower cases meet. Sealed up perfectly, and after 1000mi, no leaks so far.

For future reference, another place to try for fiber clutch plates is APE - http://www.gszone.biz/clutches.html. I got mine from them for $85.
