That should help too.

Are you sure its your slipper? Because for me I have to wait a Littleton till they get warm for more bite. Check your different and make sure there is oil.

I find once slipper pads get heated they become very smooth. This makes them even more slippery and don't work very well.

Get new pads and set the slipper so it slips for 2-3 feet under full acceleration.

Overheated slipper clutch

so i over heated my slipper to the point where it had no bite. i have tightened it and let it cool off.

side note i thought slippers get more grip when they heated up?
