Thank you for your advice. I truly believe it's an inherent problem with the Energy One Extra Plate kit. I spoke with Kent at Energy One and told him I had a stiction problem with the Primary Plus I was running in the Primary. He suggested draining it as hot as I could and then refilling it with B&M Trick Shift. I did and while I was at it checked the chain deflection and actually did find it a bit loose. I had replaced the 1st Generation HD Automatic Adjuster with the stock manual one when I installed the clutch. I had tried a Alto Extra Plate clutch kit and was having major problems. So Energy One asked me to try theirs. I also removed at that time the Reduced Effort Clutch Ramps and Diaphragm Spring. So, long story trying to be short, the difference is day and night. The more I ride it with the B&M Trick Shift the more I smile. It's like new again. Or at least what I can remember. LOL! I miss the reduced effort clutch pull though, especially in heavy traffic! I'm currently running a 260 lb Diaphragm Spring and only about 28 oz of the B&M fluid believing there was a bit of the Primary Plus left inside after draining. I have to set my clutch adjustment to only 1/8th turn out after contact on the adjuster screw and about 1/8" free play at the lever to cable housing. And this is normal according to Energy One. Neutral is still a bit elusive but I can sometimes get it from 1st. My main concern now is lubrication of the Compensator with the ATF.
