I was thinking about a readspeed 6 plate but people are telling me just to put a 5 plate in, Im reading all the posts regarding clutches and still havent made my mind up. CONFUSED DOT COM. It all boils down to budget, others im considering , SSC/Morris 5 plate, around £180 but not seen much info on them, MB 6 plate, looks good but its well over £400, woudnt touch the AF cassette type road version, you need arms like popeye to pull it in, but the race version is supposed to be better, Just need a very good clutch to handle a 24bhp imola
I've got the AF road cassette clutch in my RB it's so light and easy to use and I'm no popeye

Sorry to revive this old thread!! But?

Which clutch is it that one recommends then for higher BHP lambrettas ?
My TS-1 230 with 6plates & atomic deep spider/pressure plate & std crownwheel notched for the 1st cork is slipping bigtime at 50+ :-(

Af cassette is not my choice, lth is good as is bgm one as I've recently fitted to avanti sprinter .
You can run st 4plate with right springs and prob get 2 years out of it as fond on our Rt @ 27hp motor.

Are you sure it isn't the front cush drive slipping? wouldn't be the first time some miss-assembly has caused this.
