Not sure how the last fiber goes on the clutch (2008 / ZX14)? Do the tangs on the last fiber not line up with the other fibers? Looked all over the net, but all I could find is (http://www.factorypro.com/Installs/Install,EVO,Shift_STAR,ZX14.html), however from that last photo I can not tell if the tangs are lined up with the others or not.

Thanks

Clutch universal says I walk up to any bike and this is setup:

1. Steels: I am stamped out of steel;
a. I have memory.
b. I push in one direction.

2. Fibers: I watch my foot carvings;
a. If I am spiral, I fling out in one direction
b. What he said. Turn engine to see who flings [out] is what direction the outer basket moves in?

Concept:

A. Place fingers against each other and press.
1. Notice how the steels fight their own memory for release.
B. Place fingers over fingers.
2. Notice how your fingers follow each other on the curl your fingers now in said direction.

Assembly; The abstract:

The pressure plate is the last cover to go on [IF] the design says to install the pressure plate first, then this follows the direction of cut. The steel has a cut side and round side when stamped. If the pressure plate is the last cover to put on, steel cuts all face you. If the pressure plate is the first to be installed, the cut side of the steels face into the engine, away from you. You now look at the round side as if assembling a Honda CBX clutch design.

The frictions have square pads, are usually assembled either way. The aluminum is forgiving, but not so with the steel's memory back to static. In this case, the steel's cut side face you if we are working on a 14. Fibers can be anally installed if you look for the pressing or factory ink stampings. Face the stampings out so they face you. If there are no markings, look for the stamping out of a sheet of aluminum, the same as they stamp out steel plates.

Other than that, the little hoop cutout on one of the tangs, I have no clue? Stagger them or line them up, your choice.

Why is it that the last friction plate’s tangs is to be put in to the alternate grove ? Is it to keep the steels & fibers from contacting each other, after the fiber’s PADS are worn out (gone)?

It seems you could get more life out the fibers if they were all put in the same grove. Or could that cause a catastrophic condition (for the fibers to run against the steels with the pads being to worn out)?

That larger plate is like a cheater [more] meat, or the collapse takes the brunt on the bigger guy. That is the last plate that tightens up. You burn the inner plates, because those are the first to be touched. You keep feeding clutch on the hang, those goes first. The ones closer to the the pressure plate are the last to be collapsed on.

Therefore, Between that being a chatter plate, more meat or equal if we square the padding, however, that pad design has to be turned so the flinger would be like this. Look at the plate, not the book. This is still, I walk up to any clutch pack and pack it.

If I run clockwise, my flinger line facing me is the pad curve / / or the empty space between pads, we run a forward slash. That says, I may be [look at the top of the forward slash] a drain where you fill at 2 o'clock. But turn me to 7 o'clock, look how I fling out when I swing from 2 to 7 o'clock, I'm like a dog with hind legs, covering the poop, it is flinging out in said 7 o'clock direction.

See the direction? And see how that groove has so much room to hit against the clutch outer? That is way too much room, but a good reference to gap tooth, if say we are measuring a pack. Plus, that big plate comes in sizes to gain your pack back on the used side of the salvage.

But, for extra meat, you wink-wink, run the fatter plate so you have more meat to wear down. All you really need to see is if the pull of the lever, the fat clutch does not fall out of the groove, when the pressure plate makes that large a gap, she can float out. So once you pack it, how far out, or close to being the big clutch will fall out of, or is now sticking out of it's fingers @ the clutch outer? If she is going nowhere, wink-wink... Get it?
