[QUOTE="eharris, post: 153324, member: 3585"] Evening all, Having got the bike on the road (see the “[URL='https://www.vincentownersclub.co.uk/threads/it-works.16921/']It works[/URL]!” post), I have taken it out for a bit more of a run and discovered the clutch both drags at low speed and slips at higher speed (55 in top), so I am now faced with the question of how to approach this. It has a standard clutch and I fitted a new friction plate and springs when I had the primary drive off to fit a D ESA. Whilst I am confident that I put it all back together in the right order, there is a significant chance I didn’t set it up as accurately as it could have been. Where I am going with this is that I would like to get some use of it this summer, so I would like to be able to get to the point of having a reliably working clutch as quickly and simply as possible, which could be that I fit one of the Spares Co multiplate clutches. I do realise that the standard clutch can work very well, but my fear is that mine will take a lot of tinkering to get there. What are your thoughts? [/QUOTE]
