BMW S1000RR/R/XR M1000R Wet Clutch Plates Kit – DFBD07 DBK

The DBK Special Parts BMW S1000RR/R/XR M1000R Wet Clutch Plates Kit is an Italian-engineered solution that brings refined engagement to Bavarian precision. By replacing the standard stack with a combination of organic friction material and lightweight aluminum carriers, you ensure that every bit of that inline-four power reaches the rear tire.

The BMW S1000 series is the benchmark for superbike engineering, but the sheer torque of the ShiftCam engine—especially in the M1000R and S1000RR—can punish a factory clutch during aggressive launches or track-day sessions. If you’ve felt a slight slip at high RPMs or a “notchy” sensation during quick-shifts, your plates are likely reaching their limit.

The Engineering: Why Aluminum & Organic?

Standard OEM plates often prioritize cost and longevity over thermal recovery. DBK takes a more performance-oriented approach:

• Organic Friction Material: Unlike aggressive “on/off” sintered race plates, this organic compound offers a wide, predictable engagement zone. This is critical for the S1000XR tourer and S1000R naked bike, where smooth low-speed modulation is just as important as high-speed grip.
• Aluminum Carrier Plates: By swapping steel for high-strength aluminum, DBK reduces the rotating mass within the engine. This allows the engine to spin up faster and helps the clutch assembly shed heat more efficiently.
• Oil-Flow Optimization: The “Straight-Slot” design acts as a centrifugal pump, forcing engine oil through the plate stack. This prevents clutch fade during repeated hard launches or stop-and-go traffic.

❓ FAQ: Expert Peer Insights

“Is this a direct Plug & Play replacement?”

Yes. This kit is designed to fit into your original BMW clutch basket without any modifications. It is a true OEM+ upgrade.

“Do I need to soak these plates before installing?”

Absolutely. This is the “Golden Rule” for wet clutches. Submerge the organic friction plates in fresh engine oil (the same oil you use in your BMW) for at least 2 hours before installation. Installing them dry will likely cause the friction material to burn and fail during your first ride.

“Will this affect my Quick shifter or Shift Assistant Pro?”

No. In fact, a fresh, high-quality clutch stack often makes the Shift Assistant Pro feel smoother. When the clutch plates have a clean, predictable release, the ignition-cut of the quick shifter can sync more accurately with the mechanical gear change.

Peer Insight: While you have the clutch cover off, it is the perfect time to inspect your Clutch Basket for “notching.” If the tabs of the plates have hammered small indentations into the basket, your new plates might still feel “grabby.” Filing those smooth is a pro move that ensures your new DBK kit feels like butter.
