A slipper clutch is a 'reverse torque' clutch as opposed to a rekluse type of centrifical clutch.

I wonder how less 2S engine braking would affect the way the slipper engages?

A real slippery clutch(STM) from H...a crf450 can be "adjusted" to fit K5 if you are handy and got the money! :wink:

Thanks doordie.
I run it at stock height and the suspension was really needing some lovin. I just got gold valving for the front and rear, I'm hoping that with fresh oil and stacked for sm instead of dirt will help it out.
I was also running pilot power roads before, now I've got some maxxis presa slicks which should help a little as well.
I also have a magura hydro cluth that needs to go back in, I broke the nipple off the end and haven't put the new part on yet. It gives a little smoother pull than the cable.
