Clutch shims



FAQ about Xpert Moto's Clutch shims Collection:

What are clutch shims and why does Xpert Shop offer them?

Clutch shims are thin washers used to adjust the stack height or clearance in a motorcycle’s clutch pack, ensuring proper engagement and disengagement. At Xpert Shop, we provide precision-ground shims in various thicknesses to help riders fine-tune clutch feel, prevent slipping, and extend clutch life. Whether you're rebuilding your clutch or dialing in performance, our shims offer the accuracy you need.

Are Xpert Moto Gear clutch shims compatible with different motorcycle models?

Yes, Xpert Moto Gear stocks clutch shims in multiple diameters and thicknesses to fit a wide variety of motorcycles, including sportbikes, dirt bikes, cruisers, and racing machines. Each listing includes specific inner and outer diameter measurements and intended applications, making it easy to find the correct size for your clutch system.

Why use clutch shims from Xpert Gear Shop during a rebuild?

Using shims from Xpert Gear Shop allows you to fine-tune your clutch stack to factory specs or performance preferences. Improper stack height can cause clutch drag, slippage, or difficulty finding neutral. Our shims help you hit the exact height required, ensuring smooth, predictable clutch operation. We offer individual shims and assorted kits for convenience.

Can I install clutch shims myself with help from Xpert Moto Shop?

Absolutely. Xpert Moto Shop offers guides on measuring clutch stack height, choosing the right shim thickness, and proper placement during reassembly. With calipers and a torque wrench, most riders can complete clutch adjustment at home. We also advise on when to shim above or below the clutch pack based on your bike’s design.

How do I know if I need clutch shims, and what does Xpert Shop recommend?

If your new clutch plates are slightly thinner or thicker than OEM, or if you experience poor lever feel, it’s a good idea to check stack height and adjust with shims. Xpert Shop recommends measuring the total clutch pack height during every rebuild to ensure it falls within spec. Our precision shims make those adjustments quick and easy.

Does Xpert Moto Gear offer shim kits for shops or frequent tuners?

Yes! Xpert Moto Gear offers clutch shim kits that include multiple thicknesses and sizes, perfect for workshops, tuners, and racers. These kits come organized and labeled for quick selection, allowing you to dial in perfect clutch stack height across multiple builds or fine-tune different performance setups.
