The clutch consists of a billet outer basket and billet inner basket
The inner is connected to the gearbox input shaft
The outer is connected to the crank somehow

Running all the way thought the gearbox input shaft / though the gearbox and out the other side to the clutch slave cylinder is the clutch slave pushrod.

This clutch slave rod pushed the pressure plate outwards and releases the clutch . In a standard modern bike this pressure plate has springs that keep the clucth plates together under a set non adjustable pressure

So this is where it gets clever
The spring are fully tuneable to allow you to change the clutch pressure and when it bites

This plate has a built in RPM centrifugal lever system
This ultimately take the clutch control out of the user and make it an RPM activated clutch
Apparently this is so powerful it pulls the clucth lever out your fingers.
Softer spring make it launch softer
Harder spring launch harder
Less / more weights higher lower rpm

do you have to pre soak the clutch plates in oil before final assembly?

Clutch is an MTC Gen2
Installed the new harder front spring which is much better.
Set my ride hight to just over 50mm at the front. (ACU rules)
The bike is designed to have a higher rear ride hight so when ground affects are installed a negative pressure under the bike is present
