nup the goodrides have less grip than an arthritic masterbater

crap, I have yoko A008 tyres and even with a standard clutch i have never had problems, that includes doing khanas. Only ever replaced clutch parts for fun.

Check your return bolt, the little one under the clutch arm. Get a big screwdriver and lever the arm out gently, you should get at least 10 thou gap.

Hope its all ready for Hay...
