Rev Loc Slip
martinfan30:
I wonder if oil type is a factor?
flyingfitz:
The instructions say run what the manufacturer says to run. If that doesnt work they reccommend 5w50. I used 10w30 and 10w40 suitable for wet clutch and Rotella 10w30.
The fiber was mostly gone. The plates were in great shape. The middle section of the pressure plate had contacted the inner hub and damaged both. I am wondering if this is the expected outcome if the fibers are wore too thin, or was something else at work. I did not install the clutch, but the install is straightforward. I think it would be hard to get it wrong. I called rev loc shortly after getting the set up and described how the clutch was engaging and the type of riding I was doing. They said it all sounded good to go. It is a shame because it really worked well for woods riding. The workmanship of the unit is like jewelery! It doesnt matter now. The rev loc is toast and the stock setup is back in the bike for my plans to ride this weekend!

RM_Rider14:
I had the Rev Loc on my K5 for two rides. All it did was slip after about an hour or so of riding. I took it out and I have been running the stock clutch again. Sucks, it was nice when it worked....
flyingfitz:
Yep. it was wet clutch oil.
