Did you resurface the flywheel and are you sure you have no leaks causing contamination?

So can you smell it burning?

How many clutch dumps, burnouts, or boosted launches have you done with the clutch?

!!!!! Make sure they installed the shifter forks in the Correct way and not upside down! Thats what happened to me and by some miracle it lasted me a year.

hijack: why do they send you a nice shiny aluminum spacer if you dont need it? Mine was all the way installed, and the neutral safety switch would not turn over no matter what, and the clutch engaged at the floorboard. It had to be completely removed to take out that spacer. Works fine now.

Do tell about what advice Peter gave you. A very solid reputation as a company, I have had a 3600 DD not work out for me and they sent a replacement.
