Unbelievable !!!

Post by Mori Man »

You may well know that the bike was suffering from clutch slip once it hit 10K rev's.

Well, new frictions went in and everything has been dandy :smt004

With the colder weather coming in I've felt the jetting needing done on the carb's , haven't been in a rush to do as only shows up in 4,5 & 6th way up the rev range.

But, I was doing other stuff so needed to have the tank and carb's off so thought i would fettle them at the same time.

Everything built back up and off i go.

Bottom end sooooo much crisper and power kicking in at 8K feels :smt003

Get myself out onto some open roads and gives it big licks - regardless of gear or what rev's i crack it open at as soon as it hits 10K clutch spin :smt009

in the lower gears it happens at the 8K mark just as the big surge kicks in :smt011

If I back off it kicks in again and can go up through the gears at 3/4 throttle - the jetting is sorted :smt005

Even sitting at a ton in top and crack it on it will start slipping the bloody clutch ! So, I've got another complete assembly and will shove that in and see where i go from that .......

to be continued :smt005

Spooky!

I'd say it could onlt be the steels or springs, then? Unless you've been really unlucky and bought faulty friction plates? :smt017

steels dude.
Once those frictions start slipping, the heat quickly ruins them steels.

Yeah , the steels are the only thing not replaced (new springs were 1st) - next sunny day and the cover is off !

I've got another set of steels (several) but will no doubt order some new ones lol

The good news is the bike just keeps getting better :smt001

Did the steels have blue/black burn marks on them?
