5/5

It was used as a countermeasure against the heavy Clutch of SRX600.

The SRX clutch is quite heavy, so I bought this clutch in the hope that it would be a little lighter. There is no instruction manual, so it is difficult to install unless you have a good skill. View detail

Exactly to work with Mini bike

I had already purchased the thicker product, but when I bought a JC92 Grom and decided to do some tire replacement work, I purchased an additional one. It helps to fix the caliper support, especially on the Rear. View detail

Clutch Retainer Kit

4/5

Stabilized.

Purchased because it improves Clutch cutting.

The Clutch is stable and cuts at the same position as the previous reputation.
The points connected to all clutch grip sides can now be adjusted.
Easier to operate.

Clutch firmness adjustment could not be experienced.

The process is easy, but if you don't know how Clutch is built
I don't think it is possible to adjust it, so it is wiser to leave it to the store. View detail

5/5

Great!

I assembled it with two washers, and the lever felt light and easy to grip. The connection and the breakage of the wire is so tight that it is hard to believe how different it is from the other two. I think the difference is obvious to anyone who has ever used Level. (It may depend on the type of car) Also, the clattering sound? The clutch area became quieter when idling.
I was tempted to change the Bolt to something like Titanium, but I think the supplied Bolt is the best choice since it's a custom-made Bolt. I would like to use Titanium if there is one that fits my needs because I can see it. Well, I guess I can hear someone telling me to polish my Engine before I do that. (Lol)
I think I was able to get the Torque, but the hexagon was so small that I had to tamp it down a little. (Sweat) What is 4mm …
Also, I pointed it for city driving, but I think it will be beneficial in all stages from city driving to touring, mountain passes, and circuits. View detail

Nuts, screws and washers for clutch reinforcement springs

It's really expensive. Just a nut, screw and washer cost hundreds of dollars. Maybe it's the cost of flattening the mold, but the 305CC SP Wuchuan cylinder expansion kit has been replaced, and it must be strengthened. There are 5 nuts, 5 screws and 10 washers in total, each screw is used with 1 nut and 2 washers. At present, I rarely ride, and I look forward to the feedback after the long-distance test. Although it is invisible, it is very beautiful red.

5/5

I've changed so much!

To be honest, I didn't put much faith in these custom parts, but I found the product to be very effective. First of all, it made it easier to drive willy. I used to have a hard time getting the front up, and I had a hard time with the log sections in the course. The other thing is that I now feel a greater sense of urgency in shutting off the power by operating the clutch. I can feel that the power is being transmitted firmly now, and that it is being cut off now. I don't know if this is a plus for racing, but I think it's a big plus to be able to see how the machine behaves when you operate it. This is a very small part, but it works very well. View detail

Clutch connects comfortably.

[How is it used?
Installed on SEROW225 which is used for forest road play.
Recently, I had a strange feeling about the connection of the clutch and decided to replace the clutch. If you want to replace it, you can do it while
I also bought the Retainer Kit, which I had been thinking about installing.
Was the one you received as per Image?
It comes in a Small Saisai Small bag. Looks like Blue with Anodized color? and
WasherSticker for Bolt and adjustment is enclosed.
Was the installation difficult?
Installation of the Retainer Kit is easy, just replace the Bolt with Collar.
You can use the Washer for adjustment as you like. This time, the main purpose is to change the clutch.
That one took more effort.
How was your experience with it?
At first I thought, "Will this color make a difference? I thought it would make a difference, but the clutch is much sharper and the connection is better.
I can now see the position of the half-cluster, which had been somewhat blurred.
[Included Parts:were they on?
Collar Bolt and WasherSticker for adjustment are enclosed in the package.
[Was there anything that disappointed you?
There was no Instruction Manual and the use of the Washer was unknown.
Net shows how to use the Washer for adjustment.
I referred to it because it is described.

Kobo Kitamura Clutch RetainerKit KITA-Y12-01

[How is it used?

Was the one you received as per Image?
The product and Quality was exactly what I expected.
Was the installation difficult?
It's not difficult if you have a Kill. If you follow the Manual for each of those vehicles, you'll be Large strong.
How was your experience with it?
It came with 12 Shims, but I installed them without Shims this time. Clutch operation became a little heavier, but not too much. The distance between the lever and the clutch is obviously shortened. In other words, it is possible to meet with short stroke. The symptom of slipping at high rpm is also eased and it became like Reinforced Clutch.
[Included Parts:were they on?
12 Shims for adjustment, with 3 levels of adjustment

Clutch's FeeRing is changing!

[How is it used?
I decided to buy this product when I heard that this product would be released from Kobo Kitamura with the same Timing as the change to Reinforced Clutch for xr230.

Was the one you received as per Image?
OEM Parts are processed. The appearance is not so different from OEM Parts.

Was the installation difficult?
The timing is the same as changing the clutch, so it cancels out the need to open the crankcase, but it is a bit of a hassle.
Gasket, etc., must be prepared in advance and must be installed with the specified torque or it will be damaged.

How was your experience with it?
I used to grip the lever to change the Clutch, but after installing this, the Clutch connects smoothly thanks to the Spring being properly engaged.
With the Reinforced Clutch on it, it didn't make it any lighter, but it did take some of the strain off my grip.

Even if you roughly release the lever, it will connect quickly and easily. It became more fun to connect.

[Included Parts:were they on?
Washer is included, so it is a form to incorporate if necessary according to the use.

[Was there anything that disappointed you?
Not at all.
I know some people think it's expensive for an OEM, but it's definitely worth it.
This processing technology is a national treasure. View detail

4/5

I'm feeling better, sir.

[How is it used?
Installed in the family vehicle
Was the one you received as per Image?
No problem.
Was the installation difficult?
I asked the shop to do it for me.
How was your experience with it?
It may have become a little lighter from the beginning of the Clutch grip to the Hankler level. The weight of the Clutch lever has not changed. When I asked the shop to measure the weight of the Clutch lever after assembly, the weight of the full grip did not change. I think it's because of the structure, the sharpness and the initial lightness.
[Included Parts:were they on?
None. I would love to have the instruction manual, or I wouldn't be able to put it on.
[Was there anything that disappointed you?
In my personal experience, it does not feel very light. However, the sharpness has improved.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not. Also, the video on the homepage doesn't tell you how many washers there are, so an explanation of the number of washers is a must. I would have ended up without Webig's review. Thank you for your predecessors. View detail

Clutch drastic change

I was wondering if I could do something about my carburetorSR clutch which is said to be heavy, and found this.
It is MAJOR to put in the clutch spring of the fI car, but because my SR is tuned so much and has more power than NORMAL, I had been hesitant to change the spring because I was worried about the durability.
The number of Washer between Retainer and Spring can adjust the strength of Clutch, and the recommendation is 2 or more. I made it to the number of sheets.
It's not only lighter, but it's also a lot quicker than the OEM clutches. I like the Feeling Ring very much, but it may be a little confusing until you get used to it because it is completely different from the way the OEM Clutch breaks. If the OEM Clutch's Stroke is 10, this one is shorter at about 6. (Of course, the Stroke of the half-craze will also be shorter.)
Clutch work is much better and shift is much better. Also, this may be just my SR, but I can say that the slight vibration from the engine has been reduced. (Because it is Front cowlSpec., the swing of Screen became Small.)
I think it's a really effective Parts for the Gold price! View detail

3/5

The ambiguity of the half-craze disappears.

Used on a '14 MC41 CBR250RSecond Type Model.
This product is designed to improve the stability of the spring by replacing the bolt washer that holds the clutch spring, and to improve the direct feeling of the clutch operation.
Because it is explained in detail in the homepage of Mr. Kitamura, I saw it and understood the theory, and decided to try to buy it.

The goods which arrived are only the mount of the commodity name, Retainer, the dish ScrewWasher, and the Sticker of the store, and the packaging of the feeling that it is a handmade commodity.
Well, it's just a replacement, and people who buy this kind of product don't need the Instruction Manual.

Although it is beautifully anodized, it is not visible once it is installed, but the quality of the product is high.:There is no rattling when it is set, and the quality of the product is high.

Installation is easy, just replace the OEM WasherBolt. (Although it is troublesome to open the Clutch cover …)
Number of Washer to put in Reverse side of Retainer (0 for heavier than OEM, 1 for same etc., 2 for lighter than OEM) It is said that the weight of the Clutch can be adjusted with the "Quantity", but I am not particularly dissatisfied with the weight of the Clutch.:Built in 1pc.
It is easy to understand if you think that the Washer adjusts the pre-road of the Clutch Spring.

The installation itself is easy, but you need to know the basic knowledge of how to tighten it several times on the diagonal.

After building and riding it, I can say that the Clutch definitely has a more Direct feel to it.
The ambiguity of the half-Clutch range at the beginning of the connection and the beginning of the cut is reduced, and it is connected and cut quickly … I think.
It will be a very Race ish Fee Ring.
However, until you get used to it, you may be confused by the changes when starting, but once you get used to it, you will definitely be addicted to its unambiguous Clutch feeling.
However, this direct feeling might become a little stress for the person who uses it for long touring because the feeling that it corrects it to Smooth is lost tolerating even a miscellaneous operation because of the vagueness of OEM.
I was embarrassed to admit that I stalled the engine once when I started the car right after changing it. (Lol)

Also, the original sticker from the workshop that comes with it is adorable! (Lol)

As a general comment, it is certainly effective and has a high level of satisfaction, but the price of 7,000 yen is a bit high;
Considering the labor and hassle of opening the Clutch cover associated with replacing it, it's not exactly cosmetic…
If you want to change the oil or clutch plates while changing the others, you can recommend it.
It's also possible to incorporate Reinforcement Spring together like I did.

If the price was a little more reasonable, it would be easier to get your hands on it; View detail

It feels good to hold the Clutch lever ~.

I bought a Clutch spring retainer from Koubou Kitamura.
Yamaha's RZ250R also fits, so I installed it.
When I held the Clutch lever, it was very smooth.
When I dropped the GEAR by one step while driving, the connection softened the Shock.
Cutting and connecting the Clutch is very sharp.
I niggle the Clutch lever for no reason. [Laughs] View detail

Clutch Retainer

Was the one you received as per Image? It came in a rather small bag, with no instructions.

Was the installation difficult? I didn't want to tlove it later, so I had a Motorcycle shop replace the Gasket and Oil as well.

How was your experience with it? The clutch is now lighter with the use of two washers, and I think the sharpness and connection is also better.

[Included Parts:were they on? Contents include Clutch Retainer and Bolt×5 Washer×10 No instructions.

[Was there anything that disappointed you? None in particular.

[Notes] If you have the tools, the work itself is not so difficult, but since you have to remove the case cover, oil will come out and if you don't remove it well, the gasket will break. View detail
