may have been making a mistake
okay well this time with the next clutch i decide to go back to oem honda friction plates and steels. well i case anyone wanted to know my last clutch ended up looking like black chalky charcole.
well i start the install but i decide to relook at the book about a spec and i see something i guess i skimmed over. well the first and last friction plates are different(some kind of coating on them). the barnett clutchs all used the same friction plate regardless of order. well anyways i am stacking them in . well as it turns out according to the book the last friction plate is suppost to go in a different groove than the rest. i had not been doing this. however i do not really see the significance of placeing that plate in that slot, but it could very well have been my problem all along. we shall see. i am however a little to pissed off due to my recently aquired ticket while tring to adjust the clutch to work on it any farther.

One of the consequences of such notions as "entitlements" is that people who have contributed nothing to society feel that society owes them something, apparently just for being nice enough to grace us with their presence.”

school is expensive.. clutches, should be soaked in tranny fluid, or mc oil for a while before installing.. if you feel the plates, one side is sharp the other side is rounded.. figure out which side is suppose to go out and do it right. it will make a huge diff. and be sure to use mc specific oil. using car oil, it doesnt have the friction modifier in it and will cause clutch burn up and slipping clutches not to mention jerky launches

When I did the clutch on the F3 I used OEM Honda plates and Barnett springs and it has been great for 15k miles...including tons of clutch wheelies and 8k rpm drag launches. You DEFINITELY want to put them in the correct order according to the manual.
