That's not to bad actually. So I could probably check it every second oil change, I do my oil every 5000km so 3000mi

Is the baker compensator something I should be considering or since mine is a 15 it has the updated design? That part is pretty pricey!

Is that the stage 1 kit that evolution industries offers? They're website is kinda confusing with all the teeth counts and what not. Which part number are you running? Did it come with a bearing already installed?

I'm running Evolution Industries Diamond Terminator Two-Piece Clutch Basket. Manufacturer Part Number: 1006-4092.

I got the stock 46 tooth count because I already have a 30/70 greeting combo and I'm happy how it runs.

Yes a brand new sealed bearing comes already installed.

Ohh ok. So you got the basket from evo industries and then the clutch from scorpion and through it together?
I guess to get what i want I'm going to have to stop being a b*tch and trying to find in a bolt in option haha

For the initial check (things are breaking in).., 3 to 5K miles - if you see it not wearing abnormally.., the chain tension still in spec - then extend the next check interval out more

Mine's a 13 - it also had the new design - however it lacked the oiling mod - which is what concerned me

I "think" the oiling issue was addressed in 14..., so you should be okay

But you know how that **** goes - trust..., but always verify

Yeah it is - motor / drive work ain't cheap

Side note

Last weekend I swapped to a 18" rear wheel - thinking I need to work on the pulley ratio

The more I think about it, I should just do it and get it done. Then I can move onto the other mods knowing my primary is %100 ready to go and will last. I'd look pretty dumb if I did all that work then 15k from.now my compensator fails or something

Are you running redline 80w? Do you fill it the same as an oe unit or a bit less?
Do you find the higher rpms harder to pull the clutch?
