ZR-1 Net Registry Forums - View Single Post - Switched to RAM dual-disc clutch, some questions

5ABI VT · 11-13-2014

I think dual discs by nature rattle twice as much as a single. The holding power is much greater though so it's a trade off. I have a McLeod street twin on my 93 and it rattles at low rpm on throttle but it sounds glorious with the B&B, solid roller valvetrain racket and big cam.

I also agree the weight of the flywheel in my opinion won't matter much. A smooth idle will help and raising the idle rpm will also help. Sometimes a very slight change in idle rpm is enough to keep things smooth and quiet down the gears in the trans. I know with my 93 I played with rpm at idle and the difference was from tank like ticking to totally quiet (700 vs 900)
