    Had that happen on my 600 recently with a QuickUK clutch. They don't go very often but it seems most people have had one fail at some point as they weaken where the clutch shoes pivot / flex

      600 clutches do that aswell! imo the align clutch liners are a shade to thin, allowing the clutch shoes to over flex causing failiure of the clutch, to fix this try using the blue (slightly thicker) align liner or a Raptor one, cut a strip of paper A4ish same size as liner epoxy the strip of paper in the bell befor the new liner. use clutch with one layer of masking tape arround it, this will give a good gap between clutch and liner, also stops it getting stuck when fitting/removing, i always pop a couple of long bolts through the clutch to make it easy to remove when the epoxy is dry, 5min should do, hope this is of help.

      cheers
