There were some complaints about a rough working clutch with the V-Raptor.

In most cases the clutch is working correct.
The Problem is a lot of play in the gearbox shafts and the very long secondary drive.
The chain is very long and tends to jolt and twitch, starting from a standstill.
Main reason is that the drivetrain hasn´t any jolt-dampers. Neither inside the rear hub, between sprocket and hub nor inside the clutch itself. (now ask why the bike is sold at these prices....?!)

So what can be done ?

Adjust the chain correctly and make shure it is greased all the time.
Adjust Clutchplay at the engines working temperature.
Clutchplates get thicker with the motor-temperature rising and so increase clutchplay.
Become an expert clutch operator.(smooth operator....)

drive smooth ;-)
