Clutch Advise

[Mek5o]

Having issues with clutch wear on a 2011 L1200L converted with Lehman raider trike kit, Replaced once with extra plate Kevlar kit once already Starting to slip again any suggestions ?

Clutch slippage is a combination of problems

Worn/ weak parts and incorrect adjustment leads to faster wear and premature release/or incomplete release causing ride problems and accelerated wear

I would first do a good clutch adjustment ( by the book) on a cold engine

Thanks

Yeah I did redo the adjustment today. It feels better fluid little dark Lol ! Just wondering if I should change out the type ? But I guess it's just one of those things where you live, ride and learn as you go !

So what do you use in the primary?

Do you use the correct level? This makes a huge difference on how the clutch can drag and or slip

Had been using Formula + , I just tried redline light weight shockproof gear oil. I like the feel after the change.

I do try to make sure it's correct. just a tad less then a quart.

Does your extra plate set up use a newer improved pressure plate ( diaphragm spring )

No just stock.
