if you could ask some friends, that would be awesome. most of my friends are like my and dont know what they are looking at.

 

What kind of oil you using?

 

I talked to my friend that works for a stealership and he thinks the clutch is adj wrong? that would cause the pressure to eat up the plate? But not being able to see it and touch it it is hard to tell. I personally have never changed one so I am not much help.

 

general consensus is that i had it adjusted incorrectly or let it slip too much on takeoffs. im going for the second one.

BTW i use motul 10s40 synblend.

 

Are you replacing the plates, disks and springs or just a combination of what looks worn? What about the basket, hubor top basket plate, how is their condition, have the dog ears on the plates wore the basket where they fit loose and sloppy? As for adjustment you want a little play on the lever, in turn that will give a little play on the lifter lever (lever on the case at the lower adjustment). You should be able to move that a little by hand. If not the cable is too tight or you put the basket back together wrong, both will cause ware.

Good luck!

i check tolerances. if it is out of tolerance i replace it.

for the friction plates, i usually just replace them if they look worn.

 

just replaced all the friction plates. i have a clutch again. im happy.

 

So your saying you just replace the metal friction plates and all is good? How is the wear on the composite clutchdisks?

 

not i replaced the friction surfaces, not the metal disks. the metal disks are almost never out of tolerance.

 

With only replacing part of the clutch pack, you are taking the chance that the disk materials are mismatched. Steel disks for a Kevlar or Carbon disk could prematurely wear a stock composite disk and vise versa. I would recommend next time ordera complete matching kit with steel disks, clutch disks and new springs.
