    Slipping clutch

    A trick I use if I am replacing the springs in the clutch or if it is starting to slip a little at high rpms is to take the disks apart and rough up the metal disks in the clutch with some sandpaper. They get glazed over after awhile and this helps them to grip better, dont get crazy though or it get really abrasive and ware your disks quickly.

      Yea, you have to get all the sand, and small metal particles off each plate

        Wouldn't the sand create a better gripping condition?
