You too, seems you one upped me for sure.

Sounds like a corporate insider may be a wee-bit hurt. Corporations aren’t all bad, set me up for very early retirement where I can ride every day, but once you’ve worked inside and see the gross inefficiencies in the model you can’t help but wonder if profit is the ultimate goal. We are presently 3 years, going on 4 with a clutch that is still creating profit destroying issues. One person could fix it, a think tank may drag it out forever. A good buddy of mine has a boost that was detroyed and a 9R destroyed on account of the clutch, both presently being repaired under warranty.
My point was perhaps using corporations was a bit too broad a sword stroke.

And no, I don’t work for a corporation.
They do have many faces, both good and evil, are very necessary in our lives.

Apologies, for wasting your valuable forum time, feel free to bill Christopher for compensation.

I’m going to try the new high performance HD secondary spring.

I had both clutches balanced, then I lapped the taper and used the installation bolt for 150/110ftlbs and running the latest bolt. Bought the TRS alignment tool and found the secondary needed to be shimmed out .133”. Prior to this work, the bolt was backing out every ride. The season was over before I could ride it, but I’ll post the results here next season.
Has anyone marked the black bolt after torqueing with fingernail polish to see if the bolt is backing off or is bolt getting longer as it stretches and needs to be retorqued??

Yes, but not with fingernail polish. I used a black paint marker on the silver bolt and now have switched out to a silver sharpy after going to the black bolt. The marks would always indicate the bolt had moved counter clockwise, but that doesn’t mean that it also didn’t stretch.
Great thinking! You might have to cut off a coil or two; I'm thinking there's just a chance of coil bind...
I started using Fingernail polish (red ) years ago to track torqued fasteners and keep a bottle in my toolbox. I have also just put a drop on the primary taper to see if the clutch has turned on the crankshaft after it has been lapped, and have never seen that move!!
