Can any one tell me if AF 6 plate road clutch can be fitted with AF race 6 plates and can I get stronger springs to ?? got a 26 hp ts1 and when it hits the power in 4th wants to slip and want to up gear it from 4.89 to 4.6 gearing with a tsr pipe . who sells the to AF out of stock . Thanks col

The plates will fit all parts are interchangable of course some may need minor fettling, It shudnt be slipping at all, id look at ur clutch cable adjustment it shud be quite frre as the clutch needs a small amount of activation travel from the lever. Raising the gearing shud also help with the slipping but I cant see how its slipping if fitted correctly. Hope this helps

Is it the front sprocket cushdrive slipping? This gives the same symptom as the clutch shipping at high revs.

I've put 30bhp through an AF Road cassette and its been fine, what gearbox is it?

Got li 150 16 46 at moment . clutch cable is slack . It was ok at 22 hp now had it tuned its started slipping . thanks col

^... have you considered/investigated this? Lots of people get caught out by this, which does feel just like clutch slip under load.

Going to up gear when get time so will check it when do that . thanks for help col

How many miles on it?

You can no longer get the Italian race plates, just the Indian road plates. Chiselspeed sell stronger springs. You can still get (last time I was in AFs) the Italian springs but not sure if they're any different in strength to the Indian ones.

thanks for that I will give them a ring .

I have tried two sets of the chiselspeed updated springs in two AF cassettes and both times the springs went coil bound before the clutch could separate correctly.the chisel spring seem to be made from thicker wire which I assume is causing this

AF said you can overcome this by filing down the top of the xmas tree.

This is what I did, just fitted the nut and carefully used an angle grinder to flush off the xmas tree thread with nut, it needs a dab of threadlock to compensate the lack of tab washer so threads in safety are not really an issue (IMHO).
Solved the problem perfectly, I think I saw the idea from Andy Francis on a forum but not 100% certain.

Good luck
