Good Morning!

The last several times I have been aboard the 98 TBS I am noticing that when I
let out the clutch lever it seems to ingage at about 2/3 of the way out, which
is telling me that my cluch wear plates need replacing. Does anyone know the
part # for the TBS or is it the same as a standard Thunderbird?

My Mad Bumble Bee bike has 56,254 km's to date.

Looked at the Triumph parts book and it appears Triumph here in Canada want
$175.00 - $200.00 for a set of 9. Would like to stay with OEM, but I see that
EBC manufacture them as well. Has anyone on the board have any experience with
replacing the friction clutch plates with aftermarket and if so what brand and
part # did you use?

I don't know about the EBC's, but some aftermarket clutch plates are not compatible with Synthetic oil. So check that if you use synthetic. --On July 5, 2009...
