| Best Clutch set up
Following having to put up with a slipping clutch on todays ride out, I decided to check it out when I got home, two of the 5mm allen bolts holding the spings down rounded off, but soon got them out. With the outer face of the clutch removed, I checked the distance from the end of the inner basket to the outer most clutch plate and got a reading of 4.85mm on the digital verniers. I then removed all the plates, as I'm running sintered plates a fair few of the steel plates were worn and the dished plate was no longer dished. So I fitted the a replacement dished plate and some more steel plates and ended up with a final distance for the rebuilt clutch of 4.35mm, that is to say I widened the clutch pack by 0.5mm, not a huge amount, but now instead of a slipping clutch I have one that drags slightly making it very hard to locate neutral with the engine running.
So I was wondering if anybody had a recommended measurement for the afore mentioned gap, I have one for the slipper clutch on my race bike, but was wondering what it was for a standard clutch.
Or do I just phone JHP tomorrow.
