I've reassembled my primary with .020" less clutch stack height, by swapping 2 plates at .080" thickness for 2 plates at .070". The lever is noticably heavier, but only heavy in comparison to how it was set up previously, which was very light. It makes sense that the trade off for more clamping force is a slightly heavier lever. I washed my clutch pack with brakeclean, and sanded the steel plates to rough them up, so I should be good to go. The plates I took out looked too smooth to me, so I am sure they were slipping a lot. The 2 new plates I got from old britts, were noticably rougher than my existing plates.
bluto, that website is phenominal. thanks again for your help and comments
Maylar, thanks! I thought over using just one or both of the thinner steel clutch plates. I decided to just use both and knock .020" off my stack and see if that's enough to do the trick. Thanks for your comments.
Today, I remembered that I have an old handheld GPS which measures speed. I used in the truck, on the ride home from work today, so I am going to tape it to the bike where I can see it when I take my test runs so I can compare my speed and my RPM's.
