With the K3+ SVs it is necessary to drain the coolant and take the right hand engine side cover off, rather than just removing the clutch cover.

Once you've done this you will need to take off the 5/6 (can't remember) bolts holding the hub on, and you can remove the plates with your fingers. It's not hard.

However. Be absolutly certain that your clutch lifter mechanism by the front sprocket is correctly adjusted first as this is free to adjust and often the cause of clutch slipping as the adjustment of it changes with friction plate wear.

You will be very unlikely to need the steel clutch plates, in addition to the friction plates if the adjustment does not help.
