I've had the Sigma one on my bike for about 3 years now and the amount of additional confidence it gives on corner entry cannot be stressed enough.
That said though, when taking off from a standstill, you have to be really gentle when letting the clutch out or else the bike will stall - I have just got used to it but various people have told me different solutions - some which is get used to it to put back the old one if you want to ride it around town! A friend of mine tried to ride the bike and must have stalled it 6 or 7 times before he was able to get away.
I now believe that with a closed clutch cover, excessive dust causes the 'graunchiness' so I will be experimenting with washers and open clutch covers to see if that helps. Anyone else experience this 'grauchiness' with an open clutch cover??
Best regards
