killed my CF dual friction

hi

ive just got done putting a CF dual friction in my TII last week and was cruising around feeding in a little power and engine flared up in 3rd (see vid 3:30) do you think that the friction material is now glazed over and ruined after that little incident?

Well, does the clutch behave differently from before?

Are the clutch and pressure plate rated for your power levels?

Couple of things. First off you need to drive it below WOT full power for the first few hundred miles before WOT full power pulls to allow the clutch and flywheel to break in properly. What flywheel do you have? If you have a light weight flywheel, then there is less mass which means that you can heat soak the clutch fairly quickly.

Go easy on her the next few hundred miles to allow the disc / flywheel to work in with each other again. Patience is mandatory!

Did you break the clutch in? I don't think you hurt it. Get a new camera mount.
