Default Clutch
Bloody thing can't put up with the extra power. If i change gear quick thats it bloody slip's. Cant afford the upgrade approx £1400. So the guy's going to the Ring this will be your opportunity to sort the Evo out. Will sort it next winter.

In the Evo world you have to buy a flywheel with the clutch. At the moment i have the clutch & fly out of a group n Evo 9. It's a carbonX single plate. Meant to be good for 450ftlb torque & not 500ftlb that i'm meant to have. Slow gear changing is ok ish any quick stuff i'm screwed. Why is it i can see in my mind Anger is smiling somewhere.

Sorry to hear this mate, I was looking forward to seeing that thing flying. It's still going to be plenty quick though.

Just one point though mate, what if after getting the red mist out there and giving it a good old humping round the ring and the surrounding roads, that the clutch lets go? Can't you sell a kidney or something?

I might just have the boost turned down. That will knock the torque on the head until i can afford a new clutch.
