Clutch life?

[Martin-Brighton-uk]

I do clutchless upshifts often too. Have done on many of my bikes. Gotta actually think now what times do I do it, as it's more a second nature thing as been doing it for so long.

I think it's when riding gentler like more cruising, when getting ready to shift up, just kinda put a little pressure on the gear lever lifting it up , then when I roll off the revs slightly it just clicks up into the next gear. Makes it smoother for a pillion.

Got me thinking, anyone ever put a quick-shifter on a Rocket 3?

Claviger had one fitted prior to the recent gearbox failure. In his words: 'Rocket will get strengthened and rebuilt. Quickshifter is coming off, the transmission clearly just can’t cope with it in the long term.'

Brahma has a new clutch now, his lasted 58,760 miles before total failure. Brought him home last night and all is well...

I guess you didn't trade for the Injun?

Nope. I am writing a report on it though...

How much did it cost. Just curious as to whst a dealer is charging.

Way too much, if I had not waited till it completely failed, my wallet would still be talking to me.

If I remember correctly the general consensus on the forum is that the MTC springs suck, Carpenter springs are the way to go, hopefully someone will back me up.
