    Clutch options

    What clutches are people using on higher powered 850s, the 850r clutch I bought doesn't hold so not sure which way to go?

    maybe 50/60 miles, tbh though after rebuilding the engine over the last couple of months I cant be bothered to change it for a little while so will see how it goes, otherwise Ill probable go for a paddle clutch, seems over kill for about 350bhp but want to make sure it will hold the power, was trying to think if I could of fitted it wrong but its so simple I am sure I haven't as it works nice and smoothly normally
