Having made a start to my return to bucket racing over the weekend at manfeild, i ran into a couple of issues (as normal). One I am seeking some advice on from you lot.
I'm having issues with a slipping clutch, it revs nicely into band (quite a high reving monster being short stroked and over square) and then starts slipping. once it get really hot it seems to go away (well sort of) though i was pissing around with the cable adjusters during the rides as well.
I've put a new basket (well second-hand but near new) when i rebuilt the motor before taupo; and newish plates and fibres etc. but this seems to have made no real difference, (it was happening before hand, but it was the less of my issues at that time). the basket i took out had about 10 degree movement (read: slop on drive gear) were as the newer one felt a lot firmer (I'm assuming they have some form of spring loading??)
I'm running good oil (name I can't remember).
looking into it more I was wandering if the clutch springs are to soft ? or do i need to look into different plates?? I also had a though about oil density maybe to heavy?? the cable seems to be moving well enough as well.
I haven't really been able to find much about these clutches other than the vintage MX (but they are slightly different.
So any ideas, insight, knowledge or experiences that could be imparted on this issue?
(and no I'm not getting a four stroke)
(the other issue is that i just need to man up!!! aye Rich)
