After talking with Rick at MG Cycle I am thinking that the problem could
have been with lubrication. He was also saying that he has seen grabbing
clutches in the 4mm splines before. I'll be replacing the clutch plates with
new ones I had laying about. I'll clean everything up really well....lube
with moly and see how she is.
Of course I will let you all know of the results...Ian

No idea about what you'd do about this. I'd get a magnifying glass and very carefully inspect the input hub and flywheel teeth looking for clues. Something makes the clutch plates hang and suddenly engage; how about input hub and flywheel teeth (tooth) lubrication; a little spline lube might be helpful here. You might go for another set of springs, if you have access to have them tested. Are there some clutch friction discs that are grabbier than others, like brakes? I'm sure you'll let us know what you find out. John Prusnek
