[QUOTE="Monkeypants, post: 31738, member: 2708"] I sure dont mind learning about Indian cluches, v2 v3, whatever, its all closely related. Peter, my experience with the sintered bronze v2 plates has been different from yours. It was suggested to me that it could run in atf as a solution to the grabbing problem described earlier. With atf on the plates and the springs soaked up the bike would barely make it down the driveway, slippage was so great! I then washed the atf offf the plates via parts washer and dried them. On reinstall there was now enough clutch to get out on the road, but still slippage. Out with the plates again and this time they were scrubbed with laquer thinner which restored holding power, but the grabbing problem returned right on cue at about 500 miles. Another Vincent owner I chatted with at that time had the identical grabbing problem with his dry bronze v2. It is fairly common. One suggested remedy was to use a heavier pressure plate. I dont see that helping as the problem is the black gunk that comes out of the plates. The other vincent owner solved the problem by switching to a wet v3. My clutch problem went away by simply changing to wet Barnett Kevlar plates in the v2. Glen [/QUOTE]
