So, why are you going with riveted plates? I can send you mine in which
all the rivets failed.
Seriously- is one style plate REALLY better than the other or do they
both have their own special modes of failure? I'll admit that I am
skeptical of riveted plates now, because the ones in my bike failed
after only about 3-4000 miles. That's unacceptable. I'm replacing the
whole shebang with the RAM clutch (decided to go for it). I'll let
ya'll know what think when I get it in.
I have no experience with Sure Flex clutches but a warped intermediate
sounds reasonable for your symptoms. There goes labor day, eh?

Hey All, Well....after dealing with the White Eldo's grabby clutch I have decided to take it to the next level....replace the clutch components. After talking with Rick and Gord (of MG Cycle) I have decided that the problem has to be a warped intermediate plate or clutch plates. Rick and Gord think that the problem is in the Sure Flex clutch plates. I guess we'll see on Sat. Ed and I will pull the engine and replace the components (springs, clutch plates, intermediate plate). Plates will be riveted instead of bonded. Anyone want to guess what is causing all of this? I am hoping to see some kind of indication of failure. I'll let y'all know of what we find....Ian |
