[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1320025, member: 3828"] Skooter is just being grouchy. Having the parts in my hand, I see how the slipper and assist functions work. You can see how sloped ramps on the clutch hub and pressure plate engage each other and how that will tension the plates more under acceleration, and likewise how they will release pressure on the friction plates under deceleration. edit - It may be worth saying that a slipper clutch is not the same thing as an auto clutch, like a Recluse. It is not a centrifugal type design and will not uncouple drive power when you let off the gas; like one of those. The only real question in my mind is how hard to you have to decelerate to have it release the clutch, but I am guess it is proportional and gradual. I'll also be measuring exactly how much lighter the clutch pull is with the three small springs vs. the stock one. That is if Pro Caliber ever sends me the last part.
