All fixed, lovely again, On a side note was very happy to see how good its all been wearing, I have removed the organic disks about 4000 kms ago as theyw ould slip at about half throttle. I had Xtreme Paddle disks fitted and its been fine since, the clutch looks great with pretty much no wear on it. Gave it a quick clean lubbed it up put it back in and its all sweet. I guess they got it right this time Only down side to the stock set up is its bloody heavy.
