Default clutch maintenance

So here are some pics of my clutch shoes from all side as well as the inside of the CB, and the fly wheel. I think the shoes just need some cleaning up of the toe nails on each side but the wear on top seems excessive to me and I am not sure what to make of the inside of the CB and obviouse where on the fly wheel. I am a newb to clutch care so please any suggs and even if you have pics of what they should look like when Im done would be great. Thanks.

Take a file ot your Dremel tool and knock off all of the burred edges. I like to bevel the flywheel side at about a 45 degree angle, so as the shoes wear, they do not drag the as rapidly. I use a sanding drum to clean out the clutch bell. The shoes look great, just need cleaned up on the sides and ends a little. You can see that they have been dragging on the inside face of the clutch bell, not a big deal, just square them up again. Glen

Thanks Glen. Gonna take care of it real quick and try to get a couple tanks in befor dark. Its funny I can almost c the increase in power from the picco from tank to tank. If I can get my wheel wobble problem worked out Ill be all set after about 5 more tanks. That will be 1.5 gallons through this monster........then I can really tune her and find that wheelie bar more frequently
