Hey guys,
I have a 85 200m that was slipping a little in high gear 4,5th, launched fine but slipped higher up.
I have changed 3 clutch's to date this being the forth, I surly could have made a mistake, I am wondering if anyone knows where I could have went wrong and therefore point me to my mistake before I tear it all apart.

I installed new clutch plates from EBC along with new HD clutch springs also from EBC this is the 4th time I have used there products.
Issue is, it creeps in gear and slows the engine down (stalling it), this also makes it lurch a little when shifting from neutral to first. I have adjusted the adjustment in and out It really did not help. made it worse in one direction and less worse in the other but still creeped.

I have never had to "wear in" the clutch, normally just change it and go on. I rode the bike about 2 min. after the clutch change, came back to the shop and it was creeping in gear. It rode fine, pulled hard, no issues while riding.

Any idea where I went wrong?
Thanks
MrC.

DEAD ON shortline., pulled it down this morning seems the friction spring was caught and not centered, it must have slipped during reinstall. Thank you sir, as soon as I loosened those 10mm bolt the spring popped into the correct position. I just rode it. It's not creepy anymore. Lol.
Thank you,
MrC.
