You'll find a simple video here that shows how to replace the clutch. Key points to look for are notches worn into the clutch basket fingers and in to inner hub.

Here's a good read http://www.dirthammersforum.com/clutch-maintenance-t98.html

thanks in the video he said soak the plates for about 3 mins. i heard people said they soak the plates for 24 hrs does soaking them longer is better?

Rastaman,
  Clutches are far easier than top ends.  Hardest thing is getting the side cover off and then it just get easier.  I have never soaked my plates before install although it does sound like a good idea. The only things to remember are to TORQUE the clutch spring bolts to their exact setting and use blue locktite on them.  They use a low torque and are easy to break. Cam.

We have always found factory kawasaki clutch fiber plates to be the best and last the longest. If its still the factory clutch the metal plates will be aluminum, steel replacements will last longer but wiegh a bit more.CBX
