Had the road clutch in my 30 hp ts1 and it slipped from day 1 even with the cable slackened right off ,i sent it back to AFR and had the race steels and corks fitted and now its ok.

I did feel that the steels were of poor quality in the road clutch but that's only my personal opinion.

it seems ok took out i screwed the a*** off it no slip or drag big smile has returned

Ian, so did the oil fix it or the cable adjustment? RM

Also the new clutch snatches on take off and is not as smooth as my old 4 plate set up I built but suppose I'll have get used to it!!!.

I better not complain again !!

Hi Oap, i did both at the same time dropped the oil and adjusted the clutch just happy it works perfect again thanks all for your help

I have fitted a few of the Road clutches, if your crown wheel, spider and pressure plate are all knackered then I personally think the six plate cassette clutch is well worth the £225 for what it is. The first one I fitted was to an engine with one of my kits. There is a fine limit between drag & slipping on the cable but it is just like any adjustment on a clutch, piece of cake. So off on the test run, hard in first gear, and 2nd, and 3rd at that point it started to slip, gear ratio was 4.8:1 final drive, rode back to the cow shed to have a think.
My own GP has a 7 plate LTH clutch which I believe is based on an Aprilia clutch which they recommend to run with 10-40w oil, as the AF 6 plate has "similar" cork design I changed the oil to 10-40w took it for another blast, no more clutch slip!

I have spoken to Ben regarding this, AF do recommend ST90, so if you do as I do it will invalidate the guarantee, but if I fit them I will take on the guarantee myself. BUT ONLY IF I FIT THEM.

Anyway just thought I would pass on my findings it also helped Ian who started this thread.
