NC 30 dry clutch and several other trick bits

And I suppose you could run mega slippy car engine oil and not get clutch slip!!!

Amazing work, love cnc stuff. Ace

Excellent work. If you can get this working as planned I would also be interested in one

I wouldn't bother using car engine oil as it doesn't contain the same ingredients bike oil does. Besides the things like Moly which can add to clutch slip, the oils don't stand up well enough and protect gearboxes like a bike oil does.

On a low powered old bike maybe it's not so critical but anything powerful built within the last 10-15 years I wouldn't use, and certainly if using in something else id change it more often.

I run fully synth 0-20 eco car oil in my scooter as it has a dry belt drive and the final drive uses its own oil.

A 10/40 like 300v / MX4 will last the longest and give you the least amount of degradation over time.

As for the dry clutch, theres a company in Japan I forget the name of now that do custom dry clutches for almost any bike, but they build full on race slipper clutches and are super expensive, like 3-4000 thousand if I remember rightly but they did have an NC30 race bike that had one of their dry clutches in it a few years ago. Bespoke product though and made to order so not a stock item. Can't remember the name of them or if they are still going but at the price of their products (1st rate but expensive) not a cheap or mass option.

But it does show it can be done.

Be interesting to see how your version turns out

Thought about this myself, why not just make it out of aluminium?
Also why put HRC on it? Take credit for your own work!

Well I wanted to make it out of something a bit special. Anyone can chaw something out of a piece of billet but a carbon fibre cover is slightly more tricky. As for the HRC, I am doing this myself, not as a company, so don't have a company name or anything to write on there so HRC seemed better than nothing. Without this, it looks a bit boring.
