new aussie clutch break in?

i just got done installing the new aussie clutch kit, it seems to vibrate a litlle on take off and as i go up in the rpm's it vibrates, does this go away as the clutch breaks in. the vibrating on taking off isnt a problem to me, its when it vibrates as i accelerate i dont like. thanks for comments.

I'd call Peter and talk to him about it. Mine never vibrated but it might not be unusual for it to do so during breakin.

shouldnt vibrate, call peter. 'breaking in' wont change a vibration, but will make initial engagement smoother. these clutches dont require much (if any) break-in miles according to Peter.
