hi all any suggestions on how to keep the nut tight on the clutch basket because last year when i went out for a ride the nut came loose allowing the clutch basket to move off of the shaft wondered about putting a bit of lock tight on the thread

clutch on my wd enfield.

Locktite it.

Seemed like if my clutch wasn't slightly dragging; it was slightly slipping. Had a fair few attempts at sorting it by cleaning the plates and resetting it up etc.

Turns out that for £9, Hitchcocks do a "kit" that turns your 3 spring set up into a 6 spring one. I think it's crusader part but it fits straight on.
Part number is "6spring"

It's not that much stiffer and has sorted it.

I think there must be something wrong with the modern friction plates. Even after a very short time from fitting new plates, I can't kick my CO through compression without the valve lifter, as the clutch will slip. I haven't noticed it slipping on the road yet though. Ron
