Rivera Primo 1048-0024 84-89 EVO BT Clutch Kit - Manual

RELY ON “MECHANICS CHOICE” . . . DONE ONCE, DONE RIGHT !!
1984-1/2 - 1989 EVO BIG TWIN CLUTCH KIT
Part # 1048-0024 . . . Replacement Clutch Kit
This kit consists of 6 Kevlar friction plates and 7 steel plates.
The clutch plates should be pre-soaked for about 10-15 minutes in the same fluid you will be using in the
motorcycle. The fluids we recommend are any HD petroleum-based, non-synthetic primary oil, as light weight
as possible, or even a good petroleum-based motor oil such as 10/40 or 20/50 in weight. You can even use
ATF Type “F” or B&M Trickshift.
THE USE OF SYNTHETICS IS NOT RECOMMENDED AS THEY TEND TO CAUSE SLIPPAGE.
INSTALLATION:
Start with a steel plate and end with a steel plate as in the photo above. 1984-1/2 thru 1989 models have
an adjuster plate, which sits on top of the spring. You will notice that it has an (A), (B) & (C) setting on the
base of the adjuster plate. We recommend you start with the (A) setting, which is the softest. If the lever
is adjusted properly & it still feels soft, you are out of adjustment. If so, choose the (B) setting or, if necessary,
the (C) setting. Always re-adjust the clutch cable when changing these settings.
If you are on the (C) setting and the clutch tends to slip after the new clutch kit is installed, we recommend
replacing the diaphragm spring plate. We recommend replacing it with an OEM or Screamin’ Eagle R part.
These are just some helpful tips. For further technical assistance, always refer to your service manual.
