XR Clutch Break In

Balboa · 10-29-2009, 05:47 PM

So I am installing a stage3 clutch and want to make sure I break it in correctly. Have talked to some auto gurus and they told me that right after install to rev to redline and do a burnout so the clutch disc and pressure plate gets real hot. Then drive it like I stole it through out the next 500 miles. Does anyone else have any ideas?

E-mail or call the maker of the Clutch they will tell how to not void the warranty.

YOu do not want to Glaze the Clutch.

doing what they said normal Glazes the Clutch. but maybe i am wrong.
