I would suggest to do a research of local bike shops. Ask around on bike nights
who recomends who. There are many small shops that have been around a while and
have techs who know of the older bikes. Also you can read local bike magazines.

Yes- and not to mention the added shock to the reciprocating parts of the
engine from the sudden jerk of a heavy clutch. In VW Beetles, Gene Berg sold a
device that gave a slight cushion to the engagement of a racing clutch to
soften the blow. Not just to the crankshaft, but the relatively sof

Thanks for the suggestion Dennis. It really is the best way to go in most cases
but I actually don't like the OEM clutch although I can appreciate how long it
has lasted. I would go OEM if it were a difficult task to change just so I know

I am not going to ride with a jerky clutch! My bike (my subconscious) would

Don't order anything until you have a big picture of what you need. Remove the
head cover and examine all the parts. Don't disassemble the cover yet. Look for
worn, pitted cam lobes and followers. The cover gasket is a "string" affair,

Back when I had a 160, I would go from Tempe to Williams AFB, to pick up
groceries: two boxes of stuff - one on the luggage rack, one on the seat
behind me, amounting to about 2 cubic feet; a backpack, and sometimes a bag on
top of each of the boxes, all held down with bungee cords.

Maybe the way to go is with the spacers like Dennis suggested, and the oem
clutch plates.

Many Hondas have used a shock softening device for just the same reasons. In
the last of the single cam 750's it was a clever disc in the pack. Being just
the same size as two regular discs, many replaced it with two for added "bite"
The VT's (V-twins) have an incredible clutch system to soften
How could anyone complain about that?

Since you can't change the swept area, I'd go with an increase in P/SI. As it
is an oil-bath clutch, the thinnest oil makes for the best bite and clean
breaking when released. That's where MMO makes a difference. I have no first
hand knowledge of KG stuff but have heard good things about them.
I had a Triumph Spitfire that had a broken crank. I know that sound. I bought
it that way.

Using washers to tension the springs would still increase strain on the clutch
cable. It is more or less the same as installing stronger springs but a cheaper
solution. Using Kevlar friction plates with the soft OEM springs wouldn't
change the tension on the cable and should allow for better gr

Expected mileage for kevlar? In my research all I can find are the words "long
lasting". Off the bat we know it is not going to last as long as OEM steel. The
life of a clutch also depends a great deal on the rider and application.
Considering I got 23k out of my OEM clutch I think 10-15 is pro
