Has anyone ever found a permanent solution to the dragging clutch problem in the XS? By cleaning up the basket and the hub where they mesh with the plates I can make it work perfectly for a while... say 20,000 miles or so.
IMHO the biggest problem is wear at the hub where the relatively thin steel plates engage with the aluminum spline on the hub. It seems to me that if the spline could be replaced with steel so we had steel on steel instead of steel on aluminum it may eliminate this problem.
Anybody ever done this?
