How Mittzy ?

Race starts, rolling burnouts - you get the picture....

Stop....he has the right not to incriminate himself

I knew it, don’t need to say anything else, I was thinking judder spring was installed backwards

I wonder if this is why warp says Ebc fibers and no Barnett,

fibres

I ran with the Barnetts, after my OEM's wore out. The barnetts never let me down but they were either 'in'' or 'out'.I thought they were a bit brutal to be honest.I couldnt get OEM's at the time so i really had no choice but to buy them.Now ive rebuilt my bike, i have had the oppurtuity to change out my clutch. I have gone with the MTC fibres with the Carpenter stage 2 clutch springs.I think that this is the way to go, and having the MTC clutch basket (on the to do list) would be the ultimate set up.One look @ the MTC fibres confirmed what i have heard.Way more contact area than the others.It pays to soak the new fibres in oil,as in totally submerge, same oil as what youre running in your engine, at least overnight.While your at it, drop your sump.You have two filters that sift your oil as it pass's thru the galleries.you will have to remove the small plates that cover/ protect them.I was surpised to see how much shtt mine had accumulated.Its a real easy job to do, in fact i think Rocket owner would benefit by doing this simple check.

Although I recently installed new clutch disks, my clutch now slips in the large gears at strong acceleration. I think it's because of the old springs. I've already driven about 120,000 km with the old springs and I guess they should be changed right now. As actually there is enough time for doing things like that, I ordered a set of Barnett clutch kit, a heavy duty clutch basket and fibers from MTC and a set of new, stronger springs from Carpenter Racing. I hope everything will be delivered next week, maybe later.

Now there is the question of the best combination of all. You have to know that my engine has appr. 200 HP (JE pistons, Neville Lush cams and TTS Headers). I like to go on long rides and am not interested in strong acceleration. After reading the relevant posts here in the forum, I think that a combination of MTC clutch basket and MTC fibers, Barnett Steels and Carpenter springs could be the best choice.

I would be interested in your opinion and experiences.

No Warp likes MTC fibers Polock
And Carpenters springs not sure of the brand. Right now I'm running OEM plus carpenter springs which I also like.

Why spend all that time and money on engine mods if you "like to go on long rides and am not interested in strong acceleration" ?

Are we talking long trips with your bike on a trailer or actually riding your bike on long trips

Me I'm not into a fast riding unless my bladder says hurry up I got to pee
