bloody hell - clutch shudder

[Ozboc]

Agree with Maj - anything inside a motor that is prone to vibration and undoing should be locktited - from memory 262 ( red ) was sufficient - and loose bolts and certainly would not have helped the clutch and may be the main cause of the problem - the shudder is usually from warped clutch plates ( not visable to the nakid eye - which creates hi and low points where clutch runs over and grabs / slips . grabs / slips / grabs ect similar to having a warped disk rotor on your brakes and you feel the shudder in reverse - i.e when applying brakes - not a big job - but you will have the confidence now knowing you will have a LONG time of service with your new clutch - just go gentle on it untill it beds in and remember for wet clutches you need to apply the same motor oil that you use in your bike before assembly
