Hi there, i finally got my RC back to my new place after it rested 4-5 months in my old garage, around christmas time i changed the clutch plates to Hyperplates, used a torque wrench, fiber plates looked ok etc and so forth. changed oil to Castrol R1 superbike or whatever its called, as i read that several on the forum used the oil.
But on my 23 kms trip home i noticed how the clutch slips/drags or whatever you would call it, so i could hardly use the throttle before it "slipped"
Anyone got any ideas what wrong??, should it "breake in" some more, or what ?

Thanks in advance.
I experienced the same problem. I can only assume that you might need brand new fibre plates. I believe the Hyperplates are thinner than stock and therefore the overall pressure is reduced. I took mine out and went back to stock.
Argh that would really suck if i had to do that, but others on the forum had good experinces with em' .
There isnt a chance they should just be ridden more in or something, ive changed the clutch line aswell, but i remember wenting the line good, but perhaps i should try it once more.
You should always and use a set of calipers when doing clutch work, some bikes are very picky on clutch stack height. I have been running Hyper plates for over 2 years in my slipper clutch with no problems at all. I can get diffrent thinkness Hyper plates if you need a thicker clutch stack, let me know.

I was reading the manual when i installed em, manual dosen't mention anything really except changing the plates and put em back in in the same order.
and its a 00 so there isnt those 2 judder spring and spring seat.
hmm i recall installing the plates, changing oil, and then changing the clutch line, and bleeding out the clutch line i left it standing the night over with the clutch engaged, perhaps the new oil sticked 2 plates together or something ?

i'll try and buy some new fibers and springs and see if that does it, if not i'll try and change the oil. damn oil nearly costed the same as the Hyperplates, so i'm in no ruch to throw it out ;(

C-4, I think you've already concluded that you've have a problem with the parts....I just wanted to point out that additional "breaking in" won't solve the problem. Continued riding (and clutch slippage) will only destroy what you do have in there. Good luck with solving it.

Could the clutch plates be partially disengaged by the surplus clutch line oil needed to operate the old set of plates...the old plates being thinner...
If that was the case : would letting some oil out at the caliper bleeder release the pressure ?...
Just saying...
P.S. i always have my new plates in a bath of oil for an hour before installing........

hydraulic clutches are self-adjusting.
and he re-used his frictions, so no bathing required
Hyperplates slipping like hell - Help.
