KZ1200 clutch slips

My clutch is sometimes slipping when driving full throttle. Engine is a big bore 1200cc with .395 cams. All plates are within specs. Is just chanching springs enough to prevent slipping??

perhaps, you may need to upgrade your clutch to better pads, and if that doesnt help you'll need a locker.

If you put one of our extra plate clutch kits in it, you will not be able to slip it with a 1200cc motor.

I run a 1200 with stock plates
and Ape springs.Once the clutch
starts slipping,your fibre plates
are probably shot.I am 53 and have
no problems pully the clutch in easily.
