Rubbermount_EVO Clutch Slipping at higher RPM

Usually, after the first few attempts, a reasonable adjustment can be made on the clutch release. I sense there may be something else at play here...



Clarify what you meant -
Did the bike move in 1st gear, then when riding it would slip?
Did you mean the bike cannot move at all under any power because the clutch slips even in 1st gear?

Key OFF - With clutch engaged & trans in 1st gear, can you push the bike back & forth?

BASICS:

In the stock XL design, there are 8 friction plates, 6 steel plates & one spring plate.

In the Judder configuration, it REQUIRES 8 friction plates and 8 steel plates PLUS the Judder parts. That's two more steel plates.

Be sure you have placed the parts into the basket correctly:

# Judder parts go into the basket 1st - be sure the judder seat plate is in place before the spring plate - and be sure the spring plate is angled (beveled) the right direction (the inside diameter should sit closer to the Hub Base and the outside diameter should sit closer to the Pressure Plate)

# then a steel plate, then a friction plate <--- repleated 8 times
### Be sure the last plate in is a friction plate

# then the pressure plate

Here’s an example:, I ride it easy and cruise in 4th gear at 35 or 40mph. Then, I roll the throttle half way back… the revs climb way too fast (I’m hitting the limiter in about 3 seconds (6500) and the bike is not pulling hard at all.

I’ve triple checked judder configuration and have the right number of steels / friction plates.
