[QUOTE="Mark Fisher, post: 4652, member: 510"] Don't run it dry on a road bike as, despite what is stated in some quarters, it will eventually fry the plates....I know, my tpv egli did just that! The V3 in my Egli is on older version and now runs in a small amount of oil. However this weekend I fitted a new unit to my shadow and I noticed that the maker no longer recommends running it dry, in fact the instructions advise leaving the big seal out and drilling a couple of level/drain holes below the seal opening, in effect this makes it run as a true oil bath clutch and probably will give it an easier time. In fact I'll modify the egli to the same spec. None of this will stop things undoing themselves though! Having said that, the expansion and contraction rates will not be as extreme, so that might help. Although your unit may not be a v3 (looks very similar though) I'm sure it works in the same way. hope this helps. mark [/QUOTE]
