hello brothers!
i am having problems with my jupiter mx after i installed my hand clutch system. i replaced the clutch springs to zero clutch springs but i kept the stock clutch plates. after having my first test ride i noticed that the clutch plates were worn and nw m hearin a very loud banging sound from inside the engine. my mechanic who installed the system told me that it might be from the weight set so guys tell me what is the correct way to install this it has been a week since i installed it then it was ok but i faced this problem yesterday i even went on a track day even then also it was fine. help brothers ride safe!!

if the lining is completely worn out then maybe the lining is not compressing properly
looks like always having half clutch...

Greeting sir traxxes
no i dont think its because of the clutch plates i tuned it and troubleshooting was found satisfactory, after installing everything was fine but the problem occured the last day in the mornin after starting and i just drove off just a few metres. i only hear the sound in low rpms a sound like something grinding inside. i downloaded the service manual but the manual clutch settings werent there

one of the shops here in male' brought me a manual clutch system i welded the weight set to the weight set cage and there was a different rod that goes into the clutch plate i have fixed it nw turns out the problem was the welding done by the workshop was not good so nw i have rewelded it and nw its good

you can do manual clutch even w/o welding your secondary clutch just put a spacer inside then tighten it. the use of secondary is to freewheel while in minimum rpm but if you rev it up the lining inside the secondary clutch will cling, if you add a spacer no freewheel.
