There is a fair but of tuning standard dry clutches if you want a certain characteristic, so expect a dry slipper to require some tuning.
To get a less abrupt clutch for the s2r 1k. Tried the 4 spring idea (ie remove 2) on the dry clutch that seemed to get it near feel of the 800 wet with slipper; which I prefer, lighter pull; smoother, less abrupt to engage / disengage (less likely to lock, slide, hop the rear tire). But this lead to some light "shriek" (slip?) coming from the plates after taking it in for service ... have a feeling they road it hard to test out tuning.
Another thought would be to get longer clutch spring plate buttons to get less spring pressure on top plate (/all clutch plates).
What other clutch tuning ideas could one do to get less abrupt dry clutch engagement? (Without buying a whole new slipper.)
