At the moment the clutch is very heavy , how far would you back the springs off before slip occours or is it just trial and error? the problem with the trial and error approach is that you have to take the casing off every time. I have found the best way is to back off the springs until the clutch just slips when you kick the engine over, then wind them back in 1 or 2 turns. As a test i put the front wheel against the wall, with bike in gear, i can stand on the kick start with all my 10 stone without the clutch slipping. don't forget the clutch will slip more easily when the oil gets hot. Good luck, this is a black art, once you have got it working leave well alone!!!!!!!!! Edited June 16, 200719 yr by alan
