Hallo everybody,
two moths ago I asked for clutch system.
Now I got one and just installed.
The winner is hot racing bi-directional clutch system.
it is lighter. Old flywheel with clutch pads was 16grams. This new one have 14grams.
Diameter of old stock flywheel is 34.8mm and new have 31.1mm
Instalation with out problems.
In attachemts are some pictures.

In this moment i do not know how it will be working and waht about performance. I hope, performace will go up. In package was 3 springs.
I will try to install 2 springs.
Maybe at sunday I will go outside to tune engine and break in the new clutch.
let you know.

Man you need to post a link on that clutch. Looks like the Fioroni turbo sliding clutch but with aluminum shoes. Please fill us in on the performance of that baby.
 
First and second experience

Hallo, I am back with first experience.
First going was very agresive. I tune engine for performace and then the car did a lot of wheelies. I was happy but not for long time. Engine cut off and I did not able to restart him again. When starter moved engine, all four wheel moved too. Hmm, simeting wrong.
Sure, thu clith. E clip on the end of crancsaft not present. I am happy that the clutch bell saty on his side and do not ruin my spur gear or something more.
Due to E clip missed, one spring from the clutch element jump out in to flywheel and the clutch elemts. consequence was hitch clutch. When the crank shaft is moving, the clutch bell is movin too.
I correct it, I was easy. Under the E clip I did not put the small sadle (O ring) and new E clip make more strong with shears.
Now I have got tanks after and no problem. Maybe old E clip, I do not know.
Today I make, I do not know, maybe 100 wheelies. It's very nice and super feel to do wheelies.

So, the clutch have bigger grip. With the stock clutch I never did wheedlies.
Maybe today I provide better tune of carburetor, no body knows, but I am happy now.
