right, my clutch has started slipping again as i was short of money and decided to risk a second hand clutch. took risk, didnt work, take the hit. my question is that when i have disassembled the clutch and removed the pressure plate the bearing fell out

part 92045, is this supposed to be an inteference fit? as i am now saving up my pennys and going to get the whole thing sorted. If it is then i will get all the bits necessary which leads on to my next questions.
I am looking at getting an ebc srk kit, as i have heard good things about them, but welcome to listen to bad experiences? While im in there i want to make sure that the gasket going on will be the last one i ever need for it so im going to take out the clutch basket and make sure the tangs aren't grooved, but also the clutch hub and pressure plates look like the contact surfaces for the friction plates are very smooth, is there a safe way to roughen them up again, i'll also do a post when im done on all the common problems that can be caused through clutches on the zxr as ive got assortment of bike bits

So this is normal? But now im confused what the point of it is? Means that you could end up with the outer race of the bearing spinning instead of how a bearing normally works? And any info on deglazing pressure plate and clutch hub please?
