What is a good amount of time prior to installation. It is a new set of steels and fibers. Could not find anything stating how long to do it. Thanks |

You'll get different answers. I just make sure mine are wet with oil when I install them... no lengthy soaking. |

I was taught to soak all wet clutch plates in oil as an apprentice , but when I worked at an Automatic trans shop they never did it , and said the factory puts wet clutches together dry and dont have problems doing it ????, so its up to you !!!!, this could start a good discusion |

Well, they'll get wet soon enough if you don't wet them first. I just think they'd probably be better off not having dry spots the first time you take off. But I have no doubt that if you put them in dry they'd be just fine unless you immediately do a full throttle drag start. |

Probably not necessary, I've done both dry or like Jim with a little oil nary an issue either way. |

Now that I am in my 60's, temps take their toll on my momentum. I soaked the plates for 4 days, but I don't know how necessary it really is. I did it just because I was working on other things at the time. The original plates I took out were really stuck tight when I pulled them out. Sitting since 1977 was not good for them. |

I have thought about starting my 72 H2 after 20 years in the house. I’ll have to pull cover on that and check things concerning clutch as well. I am just gonna get them dampened up for the project bike. Prior to putting them in. It will wait though. This heat just sucks though so no rush |
