KOMET Service Advisory

July 30, 2010 - Recently we have had isolated instances of premature friction hub wear in the new KOMET spec clutch. (worn lining material)

Most of this wear can be attributed to two factors:
1—grease and oil inside the clutch from entrée thru the holes in the drum.
2---the driving technique know as trail braking.

We suggest the following remedies for this issue:
1---cleaning the clutch EVERY session by spraying brake kleen thru the holes in the drum.
2---removal of the drum every 4—5 sessions and cleaning the friction pads themselves and the drum with a rag soaked in brake kleen.
3---tell the driver to not depress both pedals at the same time (in particular on the line up laps)
