I am swapping out my clutch as I was getting a slipping feel once the bike got hot. It only has 18hrs on it. As you can see on disassembly, the OEM fibers are still in great shape. I probably only needed to replace the springs to stiffer ones. OEM springs get soft from the high temps.
Also from my understanding, the OEM judder spring is to act kind of like a slipper clutch but is more like a grenade. It's to allow for a smoother clutch engagement. However under heavy loads, which the 450s produce, they tend to explode. So instead of risking it I decided to just replace the entire kit.
I hope to have more content coming. With better everything!!! Have not done anything like this since the late 90s and am playing around while I am getting projects done.
Enjoy!
