You remember right.

I've put 996 springs in #34 to cure a bit of slip.

dave quite honestly the std clutch with an extra plate in it and 916 type srpings is the way to go unless you put a full slipper in it. the aptc is a bit soft on launch and doesnt grip well and can lose you time at the start.
when we had to swap bikes last year between races after a big crash in race 1, clint went from 1st row to 13th at redgate purely down to the launch of the aptc clutch on the 2nd bike

Thanks Alan. Do I cure it with a new clutch then?

My 916 monster clutch springs are about twice the diameter of the aptc springs and the basket wont allow an extra plate without some machining (God forbid).
Me thinks some of you lot being alittle bit mean with gullable old Davey.
