im driving to Toronto from London,
I just put a new KLZE in and it has a new clutch.
Ive only put about 80-100kms on it thus far and have to drive tonight.
Question: Would it be good to wait till i have 500 km on the clutch before doing a long distance drive?
anything i should think about before going that far with new parts like that? etc...etc...

Re: 220km Drive
The idea is to have 500km of stop and go driving to promperly break in the clutch. Just don't start hot dogging it yet

Re: 220km Drive
I drove to Philly and back from NYC to break in my engine and my clutch at the same time. Just dont get too excited and start beating on the car yet.

Re: 220km Drive
WELL!! The trip went well.
Clutch is bedded in nicely and engine is smoother now. i had about 350km on it when i came accross a yellow vet.
needless to say we know what happened next.... but we cant talk about that **** in here.
car was smooth, the clutch is like a feather ... i have the centreforce stage 3 and its bloody amazing.
Ive had performace clutches before but this thing is so light and smooth. very happy with it thus far.
