You have just purchased one of the finest clutches on the market. Years and years of research and development on the racetrack and on the dynamometer have gone into making your new clutch extremely competitive. The following is a guide to maintaining a high performance level, and understanding your clutch. You must follow these several basic rules to consistently have a clutch that provides you with starts that can win races.
Weekly Maintenance
After each weekend of racing, we recommend that you disassemble your clutch and clean out all clutch dust with pressurized air. Re-lube the driver with a slight amount of Vaseline. Make sure the oil does not get inside the clutch. Clean and lubricate the driver bearing as needed.
Oil
Try at all cost to avoid getting oil inside of the clutch. If you get oil inside of the clutch, you can go through the sanding procedure in an attempt to remove the oil from the clutch surfaces. Regular chain oil will not get in the clutch if it is not applied in large quantities. We recommend using Lucas Air Tool oil for chain lubrication.
When Do I get The Clutch Freshened Again?
Through our experience, a clutch can begin to fall from its performance potential after approximately 10-15 full race days. In some situations, clutches may go just past this point before the performance level will fall off. As the clutch starts to wear the friction discs, you should remove shims from the clutch in order to keep the air gap at the proper size.
