new clutch now bike is stalling, help?

[sholley1]

Clutch was starting to slip in my 11 300 ec r so I replaced it with a Barnett dirt digger clutch kit ( friction plates, steel plates and springs ). Everything went together as it should, clutch pull is noticeably firmer but I am able to get the power to the ground again.

Problem is now the bike is stalling a lot when I am under hard braking with clutch lever pulled in. I have the lever properly adjusted (does not stall or surge when shifting from neutral to first).

I can feel the bike pulling when I have the lever pulled in and I am slowing down for a obstacle, hill or turn.

Any other ideas aside from lever adjustment?

If everything else is correct You might want to bleed the hydraulic clutch system. Air bubbles in the slave cylinder or hose can result in poor or incomplete disengagement and cause issues like you are describing.

schultzy, thanks for the input. i have bled the clutch 2x now but i will do it again. maybe i will try backbleeding it this time.

Did u oil up the friction plates before installing them? Also, I usually put 30 mins to an hour of riding in, then change the oil so the new clutch particles that break off get out.

Yes I did preoil the friction plates but have not changed the oil yet. I have about 6 he's on the new clutch now.
