Clutch Spring, again?

The slave cly gets filled with contamination mostly rubber cup particals, and is effected by long term engine heat cycles. Also temp changes create water in the system, that was allowed in any time the cover was off, which counts the time in the factory.

The slave has nothing to do with the clutch slipping on a roll on.... The slave can only mess up in grabbing a hand full of clutch is the fluid isn't all a solid fluid and contains air, or not enough fluid to work.

All the slave does is push a piston to move the push rod, and let it go. The push rod in turn pushs the spring and or lets it go.

Gotcha. Good to hear from you. Be in touch.

Thanks Mac.

How's the world treating ya?

[macmac]

Pat, Rugged as usual .... I'm used to it. Not sure I'ld trade it either.

[patmahoney]

I hear ya, stay strong brother.

Forgive me. Patrick, I'm curious about the reason for two clutches to slip like this on you. Is it possible it's because of the way you may be using the clutch? What I mean is do you 'ride' the clutch at stop lights or hold the bike on a hill with the clutch?

[macmac]

My bet is the 2nd spring is under cut, more from city like traffic. I met the guy he rides fine......

Idaho, Forgiven, its a reasonable question. I don't do either of the above, and don't think I am using the clutch in any way that should cause a problem.

[macmac]

The problem is holding the clutch in and just plain using it... The first spring is under cut, and this 2ns spring probably is. IMO this system should have been 6 to 8 coil springs. But it isn't.

I was reading on vroc and one of the more knowlegable mechanics had to put 3 springs in one summer. Had a run in with bad parts. what luck! i have had a similar poblem with rebuilt starters on my car's but these were new springs!

[macmac]

ouch

[poppy]

Sounds like plates IF everything was reinstalled correctly the first time. I'm sure they were though, no disrespect to anyone's talent! I used the Mean Streak spring about 1 1/2 years ago and the problem has returned, roll on slipping. I do have a Barnett spring waiting, and I'll be utilizing a Gorilla clutch assembly as well.

Rotella T5?? Did you mean Rotella T6?

[danimal2]

I've been using the T5 in mine for the past 20,000+ miles. Seems to work fine. Although it's advertised as "energy saving" there are no friction modifiers according to the doughnut on the back label (exact same info as T6), and the clutch works fine. It's a bit cheaper than the T6 and easier to find. Since I change my oil every 4,000 miles, I don't feel as though I need a full synthetic.
