Hi all, I've just gone from a 16 to 15 front sprocket, would this have an affect on my clutch action? AF 6 plate job, which before had a very late biting point and was very easy to stall, until I got use to it. It now bites much earlier and seems a lot more useable. Is this a nice figment of my imagination, or has changing the sprocket really improved the clutch? Pete.

A smaller front sprocket means more work for the clutch, I had a 4 plate double sprung that only slipped when I fitted an expansion...so I think a 6 plate will be fine...if it ain't broke and all that :idea:
