    Worn clutch

    My clutch has slowly been deteriorating since i started doing clutch up wheelies, it used to do them at 8,000rpm now i have to be at 10-12,000rpm to lift it on the clutch in 2nd.

    Anyway, do i need to replace just the fibres, just the plates, or both? Im guessing that opening it up and having a look would be a good idea but what exactly do i need to look for to know what needs replacing?

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    Usually just the fibre plates unless you've totally wrecked the clutch.

    Another option is the springs may be a bit sacked out. My YZF started slipping ohh, 4 years back so I checked the plates & they weren’t really that worn. I bought some EBC aftermarket springs (from Serco in Aus). They were a bit stiff so I just used 3 & 3 of the originals evenly spaced. Been fine ever since.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.
