blown clutch here
i havent been around for a while. just wanted to chime in and let you know that my clutch was acting up intermittently. so i read around here and on another forum to see what the possible causes could be and i have the same problem sportypig had last year.the damn spring plate in the center of all the clutch plates(the one that has the brass rivets) shredded apart and destroyed the friction plates and gouged up the clutch shell..i filed the burr marks out of the shell and am waiting on my new clutch set from energy one with the extra plates that eliminates the spring plate. just to let all of you know that if you are out of warranty and are the least bit abusive to your bike i would look into a ne clutch setup without the spring plate before its too late. i think i caught mine just in the nick of time.

RE: blown clutch here
I just installed that same kit from energy one. So far i am extremly happy with it. its a big improvment over stock i think you will be happy with it. My problem with the stock clutch was that once it got hot i noticed it sliping sligltly wen i would realy get in the throttle in 5th gear. I had been adjusting it out but it kept doing it so i decided to \\; replace it with the energy one  \\;

I don't have a 5th gear, but i notice when the engine is warm and i do hard roll ons from 60 up, the RPMS rise quicker than the speedo

yes thats the one i ordered. ive heard mixed revies on them and hope it works out for me.ill know tommorow when i put it in.you might just want to pull it apart and look at it..the spring plate with brass rivets might be coming apart on yours just like mine..it can cost you alot of money if the rivets get moving around in the basket..
