Have you tried Adige carbon mesh plates? They are very new and I know nothing about them, but Dean Suinn in LA once had Barnett make some carbon Lambretta clutch plates which didn't slip but turned out to be too grabby.

I'm in the same boat as you. Rebuilding this weekend with BGM plates, MB springs and AF center and if that slips, P200 springs over the MB ones.
Maybe I'll try the carbon mesh plates if my clutch still slips after the weekend.

^ good idea, that, as in the last two days there has been a bit of a shudder when riding the bike at less than hooligan behaviour. The last time this happened the rivets on the spider had worked loose. I had that welded, though, so I doubt it's the spider.

and you're only using a 5 plate clutch, I would think you'd need some sort of cassette clutch for that sort of powerhandofdave wrote:........,it just slips like mad about 6000rpm under load putting out 32bhp

32 bhp sounds a lot for a "normal" clutch, even a five plate one. I think you may have to get some deeper pockets and spend out on something a bit more exotic.

I'd go for Cambridge Lambretta 6 plate kit (green surflex plates) and crownwheel, which copes with my Super Monza. Rough up the steels, or even better, get them shot penned for extra griphandofdave wrote:thanks for the replies,front sprocket is fine ,kickstart shaft is clear,it just slips like mad about 6000rpm under load putting out 32bhp
