xs650 birdbox challenge. help me.
Hey team! I just got my '78se running like a champ (only had to rebuild the carbs 12 times) (only cried 3 times). Took it for a victory lap and it was a good and long one!
I have questions about clutch kits. I'll start off saying that i am not a racer and dont do wheelies or burnouts (boo me i know). This XS is for putting around town and getting my daily fix. I know that the 78's have 7 friction and 6 steel, I didnt take mine it apart yet.
I know that i want to replace all friction and steel plates, I figure id upgrade to 8 frictions and 7 steel, plus springs.
Could anyone on here point me in a direction? Whose frictions and steels? Whose springs? is there anything else that i need? I dont understand the bolt upgrade, please enlighten me!
MikesXS is an option because its a full kit and not expensive. But ive read mixed emotions about his stuff on this site.
I get a whine and feel a slip if i rev a little too high while slipping into first from a stop. No slipping under full throttle while in any gears. i just dont want the clutch to wear to bits into the oiling system.
Just like all of you i love saving money but hate breaking down! (also hate doing the same job numerous times because of cheap parts!!)
Help me out guys this is my first XS!
Thanks!
