$500 is a little steep for a clutch pack seeing how I just did some in a 1200 sportster and a Suzuki 1000r and neither guy had over $200 in the kit including gaskets. Was wondering if anyone knew of an aftermarket set-up for the Spyder. Let the hooligans at the shop get the best of me and the old Kenda that was getting replaced got sent off in a 3rd-4th gear smoke show, had some bad slipping in 5th gear afterwards. Let it cool off and it is acting fine now, but I'm sure I decreased the life of the clutch some.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

DocDoru can fill you in on aftermaket options. One thing to consider about the revised Spyder clutch pack...they have modified the oil jet to change clutch oiling to enhance clutch life, they have replaced the aluminum plates with steel plates, and they have added an additional plate and disc. It probably won't hold up any better than anything else against hole shots and burnouts, but it should certainly last longer under normal use.

Those who used the wrong oil were able to change to a good JASO rating MA2 lubricant and clutch slippage went away. That may not be your issue though.

:agree: Scotty's right... Talk to Doc about clutches! :thumbup: 
He's done his own particular brand of field testing!

If the clutch was previously replaced, you could have other issues. Improper setup with the wrong shim clearances can wreak havoc with a clutch. BTW, what oil are you using?
