Its even easier on a dale than a r.You dont have to drain any oil or coolant just remove the clutch cover on left side your there then follow stock tires directions and before you put cover back on adjust clutch this can be tricky if you dont have the tool for holding the two slotted bearing race you can get by with a snap ring pliers or make a tool. loosen the nut on the allen screw in center of clutch faceplate while holding everything from turning with snapring pliers, back out screw till it is real free no drag, then turn screw in until you feel resistance, backout screw 3 turns tighten nut without moving anything,put cover on your done.

On the C-dales, Im guesssing the bottom end is different right?
On my R its a piece of cake! Drain tranny oil and coolant. Take off water pump and side case cover (WP cover and the impeller first!).
Then bam your there, unscrew the 5 bolts that hold the plates down, take them and the springs out and there's ur plates!
Make sure and soak the plates and put them back in the same order (Fiber/steel/fiber/steel/fiber/ I THINK). Oil the lil bearing while yo at it (you'll see it)
And bolt everything back up (make sure and use a torque wrench on the clutch).

Thats my procedure on my 250R, Im sure dales have some differences.
I hope I helped!
