shanYE west Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 I got some blued steels in my pack.. Its ok as long as they're not warped. If your getting new fibers might as well get some new steels too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 You can sand blast the steels to bring them back to life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csrmel Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 you can check the steels by using a micrometer to check for high and low spots. but a micrometer wont work for checking warping or a wobbly friction disc. for that you would need to set each steel on a plate of thick glass, preferably half inch or thicker, or a really smooth flat piece of granite. then try and slide a piece of paper under different sides of the friction disc. you shouldn't be able to slide it under any part of the steel friction disc. if you can, then chances are its warped. if you check all the discs and they turn out ok, then put a piece of 500 grit sand paper on the plate of glass or granite and rub each disc light amount of pressure to gently roughen up the steel friction disc. you don't want large scratches or gouges. just a dull finish to the steel friction discs. this would greatly aide in gripping the clutch discs when you let out the clutch to take off or shift gears. the friction discs are cheap enough that you can just buy new ones if the current ones turn out to be bad after testing them. . or get a whole clutch kit from tisk for $45 that comes with new steels and clutch discs and heavy duty springs and call it a day. whew.

sheerider1026 Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 what are these 1000 fibers that you speak of?? that from a crotch rocket or something?? and if so why do you use them?? advantages?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 Yea dont blast the crap out of them. Start the air pressure out low so you dont leave them real rough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're from a FZR1000 street bike. They're more beefy then the stock fibers with more surface area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
