I did mine just last year - after the grenade plate came apart. I had about 40K on the clock. I also installed some upgrade parts while it was apart, including the 7200 bearing.

I used an Energy One extra plate kit. I contacted Engery One to verify that the my oil of choice was good to go. I've used Mobil 1 VTwin 20W-50 in the primary every since it went back on the road in 2013.

Energy One confirmed that the Mobil 1 was a good choice for this clutch. With 2500 miles on the new parts, I have had no issues with squeeling.

Good Luck with your replacement.

"I've used Mobil 1 VTwin 20W-50 in the primary every since it went back on the road in 2013. Energy One confirmed that the Mobil 1 was a good choice for this clutch."
Thanks for the heads-up, it makes sense to use the same oil in the engine and primary.
