make sure to note the direction of the steel plates when you re-install them. What i mean is...the steel plates are "stamped" one side will have a slight burr, one will not! It has more of a rounded edge. When installing them (steel plates) between the friction plates, make sure the smooth edge is facing out towards you (so it will not hang up upon activation of the clutch). The pressure from the springs pressing down on the assy. will be plenty to overcome the "burred side" facing in. Not doing this is one of the primary reasons people have difficulty finding neutral when sitting still on a running bike (the other reason is the stack height is too tall). Also, make sure the first plate you install is the "Spring Plate" (will be slightly thicker than the other steel plates). Hope this helps, PM me if you have any more questions, i'd be glad to talk you through it, its easier than it sounds.
