Cb750k6 clutch disc query

(1/7) > >>

Paulreade:
Hi guys, I'm after a bit of advice. I have just stripped the clutch down and have 7 friction plates  ( existing) 6 of which have perpendicular grooves and the outer disc with the wider tabs has grooves or swirls running out at approx 45 deg. The replacement plates (7 no) all have grooves running out at 45 deg. When looking  at the basket from the right hand side of the bike does the basket / clutch spin clockwise ?. If so do the discs fit as per sketch B ?- this would mean the discs would be facing you as shown when inserted into the basket.  I assume this is the case as this would allow oil to be thrown away from the plates more easily ?. It's the first clutch I have ever stripped so just want to ensure its put back correctly.d The manuals simply do not show this level of detail that I can see.
Look forward to any pointers / advice / decent YouTube links etc.

Ps the picture C indicates the pattern of the grooves on the 6 discs removed. The 7th outer disc is similar to B.

Nurse Julie:
They go in as your picture A Paul

Trigger:
K6 clutches can be a little complex, first you must make sure it is a K6 basket as, some have been swapped about. The first plate in is a metal plate with the flat side facing in. There should also be a double metal plate  ;)

Paulreade:
Crikey pic A ? - surprised at that !. Does the basket spin clockwise ( looking at bike from right side ). The outer (7th) plate on the clutch I removed was I'm pretty sure as pic B so a bit confused now ?.
Can you elaborate on the whys and where fores as to why they should go in a particular direction and what are the pitfalls of placing the 'wrong way'.
There is a YouTube ( the only one I found) by an Aussie guy and he I'm sure placed the discs as pic B , I will however watch again.
In the interim I'd be interested to know the 'tech ' stuff though as I'm on a steep learning curve on this bike.
Kind regards
Paul

Hi trigger, you mention a double plate , was this the plate to make the clutch quieter that I have heard of, I don't think there is a double plate in mine but I will double check before putting back together. I won't rush this as yet as I'm a tad confused on the disc issue at present. I may photo the existing for comment ?
