Best Answer

strong burnt smell, cracks in friction material, if you put it in any gear and the car doesn't move or takes high rpms to make it creep.. the burning smell is always the dead giveaway without pulling the tranny..

How do you determine when to replace clutch plate in a bike?

If the clutch is operating normally, there is no need to replace clutch plates. If the clutch is slipping and cable or hydraulic operating method is working correctly, oil is of the correct grade and in good order & clutch springs are within manufacturers tolerances, the probable cause would be worn clutch plates. Measure both friction plates and steel plates to determine whether just friction plates can be replaced & dont forget to soak new friction plates in oil before fitting. Unless you know what you are doing and have the corect tools, I would suggest it is a job for a motorcycle dealer (such as ourselves - www.aprilia-merseyside.com)

To replace the clutch plates, drain the oil, and the right side engine cover has to come off.

Buy a clutch rebuild kit with new springs, plates, and cover gasket.
