[QUOTE="John Appleton, post: 114125, member: 760"] I fitted a multiplate clutch about ten years ago. I believe it was made in Coventry, but I do not know for certain. I experienced all of the short comings listed in this thread, and tried all of the listed cures, non of which worked for any length of time. I could get it to operate initially,but by the time I rode out of the continental ferry ports it had reverted to a shrieking, grabbing monstrosity that spoiled several holidays. Then I discovered how to solve the problem! I removed it and fitted it to a shelf in the workshop (where it still resides) . I then took my original clutch and removed the "bodge thy beast" washers etc, and ensured all settings and clearances were as per the designers specifications. The result has been a clutch that is light in operation, does not slip or grab, and causes me no stress whatsoever. It has covered many miles, and it's original test run took me to Turkey and all points east, and this was in 2010. John. [/QUOTE]
