I got a tip about this.
I’ve been a bit away from the motorcycle industry lately due to a recent move.
I’m working again for the first time in over three months, so I’m still a bit rusty in some areas.
Anyway, setting that aside.
The FCC clutch kit for the oil-cooled GSX-R1100K~N has been restocked.
I really think this is truly the last time.
The clutch plates for the GSX-R series have a jagged shape that’s a bit special you know.
“Special = low compatibility = once sold out, that’s it” that’s how it went.
Against all odds, a resale even I was surprised.
OEM parts are still barely available, so we’ve been managing somehow.
But personally, I really want to use FCC you know.
If you haven’t replaced them since the bike was new, seriously you should replace them soon.
Steel plates get smooth and shiny
friction plates can peel off if you’re not careful .
Get one quickly before problems occur.

If you’ve never replaced the clutch plates, BUY NOW
It’s a set of steel plates, friction plates, and clutch springs.
You need to get them even if you don’t replace them right away.
Our shop can’t stock them individually either, so please make sure to keep them on your end.
So what happens to old clutch plates?
As they age, like this, the friction material on the friction plates can peel off in chunks.
Of course the clutch won’t disengage properly, and it gets pulverized and mixed into the engine oil.
It won’t suddenly blow up, but it’s not heading in a good direction either…
Check it out before problems happen.
Let me check the Suzuki OEM parts for reference
You need 10 of each.
With Suzuki OEM, the total comes to 62,000 yen (before tax) *Clutch springs not included
Still, it’s great that they continue to be sold.
FCC clutch with modern technology built in
The price difference isn’t that big, so FCC clutch is the only choice.
Plus, unlike OEM which comes individually packaged, FCC is easy to stock all at once.
You could even buy it on Rakuten and have it shipped directly to our shop to store for you
Reading past articles, I noticed the OEM price hasn’t changed that much surprisingly.
If you replace it now, you’ll be good until you die, right?
Once you replace the clutch and properly break it in, the shift feel becomes incredibly smooth and soft.
