Default monster lvl 2 with chatter

I have a monster lvl 2 with about 4000 miles on it. it chatters like a ****. it doesn't do it when its cold, but after a few miles it can get pretty bad.
1. is it possible that I didn't break it in properly?
2. anyone else have any problems with this clutch?

Do you slip the clutch a ton? If not,just go out and beat it.Should smooth it over.

I wouldn't really say I baby it, I don't pretend its a race car or anything though. I don't slip it much either. to me it feels like it doesn't slip much you're either moving or not. when I do try to slip it a little to get a smooth start that's when It chatters a lot. I'm gonna go out tonight and play around some and post results later

I have the lightweight flywheel too maybe that has something to do with it? or maybe I just can't drive

Thanks for the advice!

That will ususally smooth it right out. That is the advise that Steve (at Monster) has given me in the past. Also, with the lightweight FW, you might need to give it a little more throttle off the line.

They are made to beat the snot out of. If you do a lot of city driving and slip them a whole bunch, then you might get a little chatter out of them. Make them work for a living, and not so much chatter.
