How the clutch works: the pressure plate straps pull the plate back when then levers are depressed, everything else is centrifical force, if anything hangs up it can cause release problems, always clean the input shaft and always check the discs on the shaft to make sure they slide easily, always check the floater plate to make sure it slides in and out freely (deburrr if necessary). Our clutches do require the removal of the pivot ball washer and as far as the fork go's i would shave about a 1/4 inch off of the back where it contacts the retainer, not necessary but could give you more clutch life, remember as the clutch wear's the levers go back towards the trans, when you run out of clearence you will be done. Always keep the clutch grease and oil free, wipe all surfaces before installation, and the biggest mistake dont forget to clean your hands before handling the clutch. do not use excessive grease on anything (lightly coat the retainer, input shaft, inside of the release bearing and a little dab on the pivot ball, ) just dont put so much that when the clutch spins it could get on the clutch, grease can cause a clutch to slip and or chatter during engagement. I probably left some out but if you need more assistance just call,
At Valair information is alway's free, and we are willing to give it no matter who's clutch you run.
