Just wondering why the Berg's run an odd number of steels and even number of fibres which leaves the steels on the outside of the pack against the alloy pressure plate & hub? I'm familiar with Jap bikes where the fibre plates are at the end of the pack against alloy. Steel against alloy does not make sense to me?
The reason I'm asking is because I bought a "low hour" slipper (anti-hopping) clutch for my 04 FS650 I'm building, which was still partially assembled from the previous owner, and when I disassembled it I found this:
This is the alloy hub and steel plate which was assembled against it, there is major scoring & wear on both. I thought the original owner had assembled it wrong, but looking at the instructions it was right, and then looking at my stock clutch it was the same. Steel against alloy, which I can't get my head around.
I will be able to use the slipper with a bit of a clean up, and re-use a couple of my original plates to replace the worn inner and outer steels.
Is there an error in the diagrams as with some other KTM screw-ups, or is this correct?
If I rebuild a pack the way the japs do by replacing a steel with a fibre what is the worst that could happen with fibre against alloy? I still have to do some measuring to see if it's possible to make an assembled pack within the spec of assembled thickness. Is the alloy softer than Jap stuff and I'll just destroy it with fibre plates rubbing against it?
