Why does the clutch on my EW slip so much?
It's barely fit for the job at all. I have tried cleaning it, I've tried adjusting it, I've even tried a set of uprated springs. The lever is so hard to pull, now that it is hardly usable, and still the clutch slips.
I had it relined when I rebuilt the bike, perhaps the lining is made of a material that is too hard? It is a continuous circle of friction material, is that correct, or would a ring of disks be better? The pressure plate is pitted from having been subjected to such a hard life and the pitting is all on the same half; might that be the problem?
Any help gratefully received.
