What I am concerned about is if the friction plates are 1999 issue, would they become soft or degraded from being soaked with oil for all this time. I don't see anything but If I put them in and apply the clutch would the friction plates come apart from being too soft?

Meanwhile...look at the basket, inside at the lugs for signs of the plates digging into the aluminum, look at the internal lugs on the plates for signs of wear on the faces, and lastly, I've been told, (and I did it with my '01) put a mean streak pressure plate in instead of the stocker. There are a few other things recommended, like Judge washers.

- February 04, 2014, 19:19:01 PMI bought a used 1999 Drifter 1500 clutch assembly that appears new. All the plates, springs, and bearings have a light coating of oil due to them supposedly coming from a new motor that was never used. Here are some shots of it but is there anything I should look at in order to determine if I can install it in my bike in spring? I only have about 13,000 miles but the clutch cable is way out towards the end.
