gandy666 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 my clutch started slipping, i changed the friction plates, its still slipping.notice the steel spacers are extremely smooth - remains of some grid pattern for extra grip, but generally they are totally smooth.they are not blued, scrapped or bent at all.have checked the hydraulics, got the correct oil in the engine, rod is not sticking, its a shaft drive.bike is ok cold, warms up (about 40 miles in) starts to slip.should I have done the steel spacers when I changed the friction plates?should the steel spacers be slightly rough to give the friction pads something to bite into?cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pointblank0 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 As far as I know, they are meant to be smooth. If they are not warped or blued, they should be fine. Clutch cable set incorrectly maybe? Have you changed the type of oil you use recently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megawatt Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Smooth mate, it's surface area that gives you grip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 They are meant to be smooth....but sometimes they can get a coating of burnt oil on them......so a good cleaning will sort that..... Did you replace the clutch springs at the same time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
