i was wondering what the best way to break in a new clutch is i would assume normal driving for 500 miles would be the best but i heard some other methods of break in that dont sound right but who knows

just regular city driving for 500 miles is fine, thats what i was told and did and it works perfect

yeah everyone i know that has done a clutch break in always drives atleast 500 miles of just city driving....i learned my lesson i only gave mine like a 250 mile break in and it lasted about 2 months...needless to say i was pissed but learned my lesson 800 dollars later

Make sure to re-surface the flywheel (unless it's new), it is imperative for proper break-in.

yea because someone told me that you should break it in like you normally drive and my normal driving is hard driving if you know what i mean and that just didnt seem rite to me. i want to make sure i break mine in rite so i dont end up paying for it later

well my sure fire way to break in my clutches is my CX has a shift light so i follow that religiously. and dont do huge down shifts. and any clutch will break in nice and good with that

I've never broke a clutch in. They're all fine. Be easy on riding the clutch and be easy on it for a little while.
My winter ride i overheated the stock clutch. all you can smell is the clutch. But Shifting it at redline for 3 months straight i guess didn't hurt it.
