Aggghhh! clutch slipping...
#1
just 5 days before next race.
I was practicing my starts and noticed it was slipping. Great. This next race is the widest trails all season. I kicked a$$ last year and took 1st at a fun run there.
Well this ain't for fun.
My question is; is there a temporary fix? Something like adding washers to the clutch bolts?
Or could I order new and overnight it and you guys walk me through a clutch change?
Thx

Quick fix, you might try a light sanding on them. Or you could call hpr and have them overnight you one. I had them overnight one when we were at sandfest. I called them at about 2:00 pm and had it the next day by noon. Didnt cost all that much either.
Good luck.

It is time to refinish the steel plates.
The crosshatch on the plates has been polished off and now the fiber dics have no surface to bite into. If you do not refinish the steel plates the fibers will gloss up and then are junk.
The crosshatch adds bite and allows oil to wring out so the plates run cooler.
Oil is trapped between fiber and steel plates. If oil cannot get out plates will overheat and gloss the fibers.
Some quidelines:
Use 300-320 sandpaper(black wet/dry)
Cut a strip 3x8
Tape to peice of glass for flatness or flat countertop - length away from you
Lay disk on paper with paper going threw center of disk at 12 and 6 o'clock
Pull towards yourself 2 times
Rotate width of paper and continue till crosshatch is across all of disk
Turnover and do opposite side as above.
