They will cup if the clutch overheats which it will do if it doesn't clear. A sort of vicious cycle which is what the bike becomes with a non clearing clutch. I definitely recommend putting the cork lined fiction plates (sold by our hosts) in in replacement for the ferrodo ones. The clutch clears better and takes off much more smoothly. The extra bonus is that they are thinner and so there is consequently more adjustment available. I would also recommend using a tab washer on the cutch centre nut. Ever though they are often nylock they still come loose and a carefully cut sheet metal washer that also goes over one of the spring posts will preventnfurther troubles. I ride my old 350 bullet every day now and the gearbox and clutch are viceless.
