    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

clutch still slips

ok last year put in new clutch plates. the metal plates are still orginal not part of the replacement. and also put in new springs.

At high RPM the clutch slips and doesn't engage fully until i backup off and then it hooks up.

I couldn't find a replacement set that included the metal plates. Is it typical to just keep the old ones in. they looks burn't in spots to me but they weren't part of any of the replacement clutchs I found.

ANy ideas would be great.
 
Take them back out. Use some 100 grit sand paper and rough up the plates. Just take the glaze off of them. Be sure to remove all sanding dust then re wet with motor oil and reinstall the clutch. That should fix you right up!

You should do that when you put new clutch plates in anyway.

Hope that helps :)

if the plates have blue spots on them then toss them out you can not sand out the blue( hard spots}, if not blue sand as hoomgart says also check them for flatness on a piece of plate glass by setting them flat and going around them with a feeler gauge .oo4 if warped toss them out, if you have a caliper or mic also check the thickness,if bad check with a salvage yard for another set, also check the face of the pressure plate, if badly grooved replace also the grooves reduce useful surface area, but first and most important check and make sure the clutch is ingageing fully and you have free play at the clutch release arm

Master of the obvious i'm not.
The only problem is now where the clutch grabs. Choked off once :roll: felt like I was just learning how to ride again :D

But no more slip at high rpm's Thanks
