Cool clutches

[yamamarc]

Got out this morning to test out my sled with the new clutches..
When installing I was meticulous with the whole driveline/bearing installing and clutch alignment.
All driveline bearing where installed using thermal expansion and slide right in without mechanical force
The alignment was on the high side of spec so I took advantage and honed the secondary shaft for a perfect fit (no shims)

Nice low Temps after 5 wot runs

Primary was a little warmer, probably from the radiant heat from the motor.

Looks good what kind of offset are you using with the stm secondary.
