That pressure disk is remarkable. Something ain't right in that clutch. Either it was assembled incorrectly, or you have a serious problem with operator error. Hopefully you corrected the problem this time around. Hard to believe you burned through two pressure disks in less than a year.

Thanks for the pics. Very informative. Also, I forgot to mention, glad your lady didn't get hurt in the crash.

You sure you’re installing the special fat fiber disc in the #1 spot?

I'm going to open the bike back up in the coming weeks, utilize the tests DBM wanted me to run previously while diagnosing. This will be a slow burn as I accumulate funds/parts. Something just ain't right...

I will probably take you up on this offer once I get it open. You have no idea what a huge help this would be -- 130 for new pressure plates just to burn them out on my miserable salary is a nightmare. I'll keep you posted thanks Dave seriously.

I do have a spare clutch hub you can have for shipping cost.

I'll absolutely take you up on the hub.

Here's something interesting -- I came across a pamphlet from Barnett stating that the stamped steel plates, due to their construction, have a flat side and a round side, and, apparently they want these installed In uniform manner. Meaning that either all flat facing one direction or all round. I don't think I could imagine this being the cause of the pressure plate wear but I'm wondering if having them installed non-uniform could cause inconsistency in the release, causing the pressure plate to be taking on undue friction.

God Im so sick of thinking about this clutch.
