Is there anything that i should be aware of when bedding in my new clutch? eg. how many km's before i rip through the gears?

not really, you should only have to worry about it slipping too much when you are taking off.. hope you got the flywheel machined!

dont know. got the same as aza and nik.

seeing as there are running similar power with no problems. thats probably why i chose this clutch.

thats what i was thinking R3N but he just said it all depends on how long you want your clutch to last... might look into it a bit more

hmmm. just got a reply from courtenaysport saying only takes a few miles for the clutch to bed in. Might have to email Phantom.
