I want to give a big shout out to (Larry) Igofar for helping me in my time of need as I put my 2004 ST back together from the faulty water pump replacement (impeller depth improperly set) as I drove the bike on the road after reassembling had a serious clutch slipping issue and I had replaced the friction plates(EBC) and their spring kit ???? Well I missed a few key parts at least 2 out of 3 bevel spring and pressure plate order and direction. Steel plate have a particular direction and the last is the position of the final clutch plate in the shallow groove not in the deep groove with all other plates. I measured all of the oem plates and reused them 115k and still in the almost new spec. I chose to reuse the stock springs as the replacements were 4mm shorter than stock and didn't want to take a chance as it was not slipping before. After reassembling with the verified used parts the clutch was working as it should. Thanks to my good friend Sidekick fo having the patience and the time and referring me to
