Hi, I recently replaced my 5 plate clutch due to slipping issues at high revs ( tried everything to resolve this but to no avail ) so opted for a 4 plate "super grip" type which solved the clutch slip problem but I have now found when setting off the biting point is a bit "grabby?" & not gradual like before, just wondered if there was anything I could do to improve this? or could it be that the plates need to wear a bit more as I've only done about 10 miles on it since it was fitted. I can live with it as I'm just happy that it cured the slipping issue. thanks for any info

There are so many things involved with the clutch that it''s knowing where to start!

I can now just about be sure that with the preferred components & careful setting that a five/six plate clutch be built. It's only taken close to five decades.....

Your problems sounds as if it could be down to the clutch bell/operating system.

Gear clusters (without the centre hole for the earlier bell), GP type clutch release & Indian remade bells are a poor combination. If you test any bell in a vice, there are many poor pattern ones that distort/compress far too easily. I only trust Innocenti bells now & that was the cure for a CamLam six plater that arrived with me fitted with the cr@p bell. It had been fitted @ a "top dealer's" so no surprise there

It dragged & slipped with only four plates but it now has six & does not drag @ all. Mind you, ATF helps & allows for slicker gearchanges IMHO
