we have the aptc slipper in our 620 which does seem to cause a problems on lauch with a judder when pulling away hard.
Both Andy and Mark noticed this.
But when I asked Andy if he wanted me to remove it, he said no, because you only pull away once in a race - but on every corner on the downshift he found you could bang it down through the gearbox without it making the back end squirm too much although he said he could still back it into a corner.

I rode it at the Cadwell TD and comparing it with the 583 found it a lot more stable when going into Park corner for example

Personally I like it, and so do my riders but we just to overcome the slippage which both Chass & I seem to have suffered with at times.

Obviously we would prefer a full slipper but only Sigma does one for the wet clutch bikes but this is out of our budget at the moment (this is not an advert for them )
