Proper Friction Clutch Pad Maintenance/Tune up
Hey, this is a simple enough question...
Is there anything I can do to properly maintain my clutch or get it to work more effectively (or rather, more efficiently)? I burn through a set of pads in about 4 months, of course, I attribute that to riding 30 miles or so a day. Aside from just making sure when I do the weekly tune up I tighten up the clutch plate, is there anything I can do to get the pads to last longer, or maybe even to restore the pads? Perhaps even, might there be some other material I can fab up in place of the standard replacement pads?
I look forward to hearing some insight into this. Granted, it's not that it's so much trouble replacing them, or even that the cost of them is a problem, more a matter of "can it be done, cause it should be done, and if so how would it?"
