Are you sure it is not just an adjustment thing.
The clutches on these bikes are pretty bullet proof.
I was running the 904 kit with pod filters and the Mikuni's
and the slippage was not that bad.
you shouldn't need heaver springs or plates with just the pod filters.


+1. My NARK'd Bonnie hasn't had any clutch slippage issues. It could very well just need an adjustment.

Another possibility: you're not running automotive oil in the engine instead of motorcycle oil, are you? Because the additives in auto oil can cause clutch slippage. Drain and switch to moto oil and the problem should clear up.

Sorry folks. Have a GREAT time at the Bash, and we'll see some of you in CT over Labor Day and the rest next year, if not on the roads. No parts yet from Carlos, and work has reared it's ugly head.

We're off on vacation next Friday for 2 weeks. Looking forward to hearing all about the Bash!!!


Cheers!
