Skydoc_17 clutch kit is AWSOME

[Lug Nut]

Finally got clutch bled and went for first ride with rebuilt master cylinder, new slave cylinder, synthetic brake fluid, and whole upgraded clutch kit/spring. Wow, night and day difference. I could feel it slip under WOT in 3rd-5th....but now with fresh upgraded clutch and heavier spring I must have been slipping in first as well. My bike feels a lot faster and it felt like it was going to wheelie at 10 mph in first! Just hit much harder than before. Clutch lever is a little harder but not bad and will be easy to get used to....and you can come off easy at ligjt like before. Very good kit!

Hmmmm, wonder if Earl sent you 1st gen parts by mistake to make it feel quicker...

Lol......my bike feels much more responsive than before. I may take it to a track to see what it can do. I would think a13.20 sounds about right based on how it feels

Right on. I did a Skydoc clutch fix on my 88 1st gen at least four years and many roads ago and still performing great!

I'll be putting mine in as soon as I have the chance, it's sitting on the kitchen counter just waiting for me to do it. This post makes me want to go home and do it tonight!

It's rather easy....make sure to clean gasket of both surfaces with a razor....surgical clean....use new OEM gasket.....use 320 grit sandpaper to deglaze the steel plates on both sides (get a nice crosshatch finish), soak the friction. Discs in oul for at least an hour, follow instructions to the letter. Easier to reassemble than a stock setup because you don't have to mess with the wire.
