[QUOTE="FJRScrewball, post: 740077, member: 18890"] I tried the clutch soak and it didn't work for me. I still got the shudder when I first start off on a ride even when warmed up to four bars. What I did find that works in my case is before I start my ride I hold the rear brake and give it enough throttle that it wants to lurch the bike forward. I do this two or three times. Then when I start off everything is smooth. My guess is that it is seating the clutch pack so there isn't the shudder. I have the G2 throttle tube installed and have done the Barbarian jumper mod and use grip puppies. No PCIII yet. P.S. - Has anyone who has done the clutch soak taken the clutch back apart again to look at it? After doing it and still having the shudder problem I took the clutch apart again to make sure it was right. I was expecting to see the clutch friction plates with a good soaking of oil on them but they looked about as dry as when I first took it apart. I did the second teardown about an hour after taking a ride. Those clutch plates sure do stay hot for awhile. :huh: [/QUOTE]
