", but when the disc touches the flywheel....... KABOOOOOM ! immediately all the clutch is totally disengaged !"....

Yap... That's the main concept of a multi plate(disc) clutch, to make the disc grab the flywheel as quickly and as firmly(minimum slippage) as possible.
The quicker the disc catches the flywheel, the lesser the energy loss from the flywheel = more energy goes to the drive train.

Unlike a single plate clutch, there will always be some slippage of the disc with the flywheel.
This slippage would give some ease while the clutch is disengaging, so you won't feel that clunking or jerking motions.
However, some energy from the flywheel will be lost(due to slippage) in exchange for the comfort in clutch disengagement.

2 of my friends sold away their OS Giken twin plate clutch set after using it for only 1 week. They can't fully controlled and were tired of the heavy and fast total disengagement of the clutch.



"I will try to give it more preload then..."

Please come back and update when you have given the front bushing more preload ok??
Man... I wish I could be in Italy right now. I really want to check out what's going on with your GT-4.


Cheers, wink.gif
