I have to do the clutch on my R1100RT as I was rather silly one day this summer. Now, I have a slipping clutch but my mistake, getting sunk in the sand shouldn't have killed my clutch so fast. I slipped the clutch a bit for only a few minutes before I realized that I needed to push the bike out with dieselyoda armstrong.
Looking at clutches, I have some choices but I don't have experience with some of the other options.
I can have mine re-faced locally with organic for about $40.00 CDN or about $18.00 USD. They also offer a semi-metallic, ceramic and feramic options for basically a case of beer more. This all on my OE disc.
The other option they offered, take my hub and put it on a dampened disc. Choose my material or number of paws and have at 'er. Looking at RB Racing's site, mine would be the same except I know the guys doing my clutch and I know they are good guys. If I disregard some of the comments I've read here about RB Racing, I think there clutches have something to offer as an alternative to OE.
I'm thinking a dampened clutch will extend drivetrain life a bit. Used them forever on heavy equipment. The cover plate and pressure plate can be rebuilt a multiple of times and changing the diaphragm spring goes without saying.
What do you think?
