The clutch release fork spring tabs must be installed under the rear flange of the bearing, never behind the rear flange. Incorrect installation will cause:

• Incorrect release of clutch.
• Damage to release bearing and clutch fork.
• Damage to mechanical or hydraulic release system components.

NOTE: Warranty claims will NOT be accepted as a result of incorrect installation as illustrated above. 

Effective with clutch kits starting in early 2015, a revised bearing design has been introduced to eliminate the possibility of incorrectly installing the bearing on the fork. The revised bearing has a cup on the rear flange that will not allow the fork spring tabs to be installed wrong. Patent Pending.
