Hi graham!
The slipper clutch on these bikes does work but isnt upto much im afraid it is a very old design that lifts two of the clutch plates while the clutch is still engaged, so yeah its ok.....but thats it!
If you blip the throttle when you change gear and enter the corner then youve already got the clutch disengaged so that will stop the clutch slip ish i suppose......
dont listen to the person who told you that the clutch would be effected like that mate its not true!
To be honest mate if the bike going sideways in the wet then i think youre trying too hard and getting yourself ties in knots, back off a touch and try and smooth everything else out. its sounds like your trying to hard in the wet and makin everything hard on your entry to the corner , im sure your mate will agree that if you slow down a bit and concentrate on smoothing the entry rather than times and you'll actually make the life easier for you and your bike and the times will drop accordingly.
suspension will help as well, soften things up a touch dude compliance is the name of the game here, and feel. :devious
im afraid tickover adjustment just cant be done here im afraid, sorry :dunno
give us a ring and we'll hook you up for a service any time mate no worries .
i hope this helps dude stay in touch and let me now how you get on!
Cheers
