You should just have fitted the Yamaha clutch conversion once fitted just forget about clutch problems ever again. I did watch the conversion you did but have never seen a follow up? I have this conversion on a Drayton Bantam and this will get far more abuse than a road bike will ever see and it is also bored to 185cc.

Memories, back in the day we had a chap who would build a bantam engine in his lunch hour, if he was bored. No waiting for spares to arrive, he only had to climb the ladder to the stores from the workshops, we even did an over the counter exchange scheme for cranks and barrels. What's that about the good old days being better than now? 😂
