| - | This is a discussion of using some of the clutch design found in the XR1200 model in place of the stock XL model design. This configuration was initially explored because the aftermarket 'Extra Plate Kits' will often be accompanied by an unpleasant squeel when the clutch is engaged. This alternative is said to eliminate that squeel. | + | This is a discussion of using some of the clutch design found in the XR1200 model in place of the stock XL model design. This configuration was initially explored due to some issues that occur after the XL Spring Plate is replaced with an aftermarket 'Extra Plate Kit' or when simply adding 2 stock steels & a friction. Sometimes these alternatives will 1) have an abrupt grabbing (lurching) on clutch engagement and/or 2) produce an unpleasant squeel. Using the XR parts instead of the XL Spring Plate is said to eliminate those issues. |

| In both designs, the clutch pack is a combination of friction plates and steel plates that are sandwiched together between the base of the clutch hub and the pressure plate. In the stock XL design, there are 8 friction plates, 6 steel plates & one spring plate (see below). | In both designs, the clutch pack is a combination of friction plates and steel plates that are sandwiched together between the base of the clutch hub and the pressure plate.

| - | The XR1200 model was offered between 2008 & 2013. The clutch design in this model uses springs built into the clutch hub along with a bevelled spring plate (known as a Judder Plate) to absorb clutch engagement forces. The XL models also use a spring plate, but it consists of two metal plates that are connected with spring leafs that are riveted in place. This XL spring plate, especially in the rubbermount models, has failed quite often by the rivets sheering, sometimes causing engine failures if the sheered rivets debri gets beyond the primary cavity. Most often, the clutch basket is scarred. This requires careful filing to remove the raised areas on the damaged clutch basket so that the friction & steel plates can move back and forth smoothly. | + | The XR1200 model was offered between 2008 & 2013.
