Clutch change question

[Scholle]

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" ?

You must know, I try keep my 05 Rocket always on the latest standard and am always looking for better parts than OEM equipment. I have no desire to stay lying thousands of kilometers away from home with a broken machine, that`s why I try to get the most reliable parts for my Rocket.

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

My bike has never seen a trailer. Its actual mileage is some 260.000 km, but it`s in better than new condition.

Mine has a few times. Its also slept in a Walmart parking lot when I showed up almost a week early for the ride. I'm not getting any younger so sometimes one has to plan for comfort

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.

@Scholle has your bike been dyno tested or dyno tuned to confirm your horsepower and torque ?

Yes, for sure. I got a cylinderselective mapping. It really runs great.

Georg would you be so kind and share your HP and TQ numbers. Maybe even the dynograph. I am interested because you said you have a TTS header. I have been looking at that header for some time and really wondered how well it flows to allow 200 HP.

Sure, here you are. The Figures show the rear wheel performance….

Thanks for posting your dynograph Georg. Does it translates to about 183 HP and 158 Foot Pounds of Torque. Is this correct ?
