Master of Faster Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Just got back from a dune trip and my bike kept smokin clutches. They'd last about 3-4 hours, do a little draggin and all of a sudden the clutch would get real stiff, it wouldn't shift, then it wouldn't move. Install new clutch plates and repeat. After the first one went the bike didn't seem to pull at all like it was. The clutches were getting so hot it turned the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th steels blue each time the clutch went and the fibers melted. Musta been slippin horribly. Trashed both EBC and Tusk clutches, using 6 heavy duty springs. I'm sure it wasn't an adjustment problem. Only thing I can see is the basket is severly grooved and loose to the gear, you guys think this could've been causing the problem? Anything else I should be checking? I did check to see that the clutch arm was returning properly and the pushrod and ball weren't welded, no problems there. I was running plain ole 10w 30.
