Does anyone run a BEC that has a slipperclutch?
Reason for asking is that I have a R1 2005 chain-diff singleseater where the pedals are placed pretty uncomfortable to be able to heel-and-toe
downshift. I guess a slipperclutch could come in handy to avoid rear-wheel lockup and excessive clutch wear when aggressively downshifting before
cornering.
The current clutch has been re-enforced (stiffer springs I guess).
Anyone experienced with slipperclutch in a track-BEC. Do they work with stiffer springs?
Does it improve handling, or worsen it?
Thx,
Wouter

That is your answer.
Flatshifter, if you want any more details, send me a u2u, im a reseller for the flatshifter and can probably do something better than the RRP price
Purpose of a Slipper clutch on a Moto (at least on mine :-) Is to prevent rear wheel lock up as you downshift for a corner at racing speeds. This
simply has NO relevance to a car. Short answer is: on a 7 type machine, a 100% unecessary.. and probably very annoying As it reduces what little
compression braking there is to near none.
Discard it IMO.

Our experience using slipper clutches in the RGB series with the Sabre racecars and the 08 blades has been excellent, no need to try and match engine
and road speed means you can thump down the box much quicker without risking an over rev or spin as you lock up the rear. No need to heel and toe and
much smoother and stable entry to corners under braking.
To date we have run 2 hard seasons and the net mechanical work has been 1 clutch plate set and oil and filter changes, lap times are faster and the
benefits in the wet are unreal, at Cadwell in the wet we were 5 seconds ahead on lap one and 28 seconds clear at the finish. The drivers love the
slipper set up and so do I as it makes for far less time consuming maintenance repairing gearboxes and bent valves, yes you have to use the brakes
harder but thats what they are there for.

Hi
I think a slipper would be a benefit and will look into availability for the 929 if you want me to, I do know of a firm that contacted me that said
they would produce one for any engine and application but I will need to get a quote for one. Give me a bell on 01449 736633 and I will tell you what
I know
Regards
