New Clutch: the what's and the what not's of what to do?

[Crazy Manx Man]

Hi,

Anyone like to share some advice on how to ride with a new clutch? I'm picking the Fly up tonight, eventually and I'm wondering if it'll need some kind of running in? or bedding in? Low revs? anything.

Thanks in advanced for the tips.

AFAIK a couple of burnouts and standing starts should help it get settled in nicely!

you don't really have to do anything to bed a new one in.

i may be a bit strange and at the moment a really grumpy bugger who i think is pissing people off a bit but i do know my stuff on bikes.

Only thing really is make sure you put it in oil for a bit before putting it in your bike. As kev says though, there is really nothing to it.

Hi

I am with Kev on this, no need to run it in. Just maybe be careful for a short while until you are sure it really is together properly.

As to clutches wearing out from burnouts, that is what they are there for .

All the best

Thanks for the information, very much appreciated.

I'll tell you something, I don't remember the Fly sounding like some chevy small block V8 before...
