Clutch slip

<< < (2/2)

Oddjob:
I raced the engine that ended up doing over 267,000 miles (not kms) in all that time it never slipped, never got the plates stuck together and was never replaced, even the springs were original. I wasn’t exactly hanging about for most of those miles. It’s now done more since then, however the engine felt very tired the last time I rode it and was replaced by a 550 engine whilst the 500 engine got some attention. It might have to have it’s first rebore this time 😀😀

The engine was regularly disassembled and new chains were often fitted along with rings and any bearings that I felt were getting a little worn. They really are pretty bullet proof.
