Hi

[STRIDER]

9k on 2008 HM-S ,... clutch groans off the line. Tried removing cover and while engine running blast compressed air and try and catch dust in a vacuum. Lot's of dust.!!.. , vacuum not practical. No difference in performance after air clean out.
Next , pulled out all 18 plates kept in order with a large zip tie per service manual , and washed all plates with brake cleaner.
This made a big performance difference with crisp predictable clutch engagement now.
It looks like within a few more K miles , I will require new plates. Found of course Duc. oem for $359.00 , and Barnett for $181.00. Any one have experience with new clutch plates , and can recommend ?.......Thanks

I moved your post the the HM forum as opposed to the Weclome section.

And what's up with your user name? "STRIDER?!" We've got one of them already, who actually owns a ST.
