RD250E/ 350 conversion

[bassman]

Hi all
I'm new to rd LC crazy so be gentle,
Had rd air cooleds for about 25 years now, but kids and one thing and another got in the way, over the past ten years
Recently converted my 250e to a 350, done the air correction, with some allspeeds, runs like a dream, only problem is, I'm getting clutch slip at about 7500 rpm,
Change the clutch about 15 years ago, with a ebc, but didn't change the steel plates
Heard on the web that norbo sells a good clutch kit,
But can't seem to find his aircooled shop online??

One more thing can you still get the rubber diaphragm for the front master cylinder, 250e

Kind regards
Jack

What gearbox oil are you using? Need to make sure it's compatible with wet clutches..

Hi
Using motul 4t fully syn, ordered a new clutch kit from norbo, goin to use 10/30w mineral oil with the new clutch

Stuff arrived yesterday From norbo, clutch kit etc, finger crossed no slipping with new oil😊😊😊

GL4 is good oil for gearbox use. EBC springs are a good upgrade too.

Any help please
Fitted new clutch plates steel and friction, all good no slipping, keep getting a grinding noise, which goes when I pull the clutch in!!!!!

Have you put the pressure plate on correctly?

yeah lined up the arrows, new springs etc, backekef the adjuster right off yesterday, and took all the free play up with handle bar adjuster,, seems ok, but only took it for a short blast, thought it might be the clutch bearing
