When mounting a new clutch fork (clutch operating shaft), it is recommended to immediately replace the sliding bearing, circlip and spring, you are then sure that the assembly will operate smoothly and without any problems.
All mounting parts are available in a mounting kit, available as original equipment or with a bronze bearing.
The original bearing consists of an aluminium sleeve with a plastic bearing part. After a while, this plastic part must be replaced, as it will wear out, causing excessive play.
The use of a bronze bearing bush is not common. In the world of racing and off-roading, where the clutch is used much more intensively, there will be few vehicles where the original bearing has not yet been replaced by bronze.
