heres my method of use for buku komp shoes
loosen set screws until shoes are flopping loose
(if shoe does not come loose then usually what happens is the backside of the spring that sits behind the set screw is touching and not allowing the shoe to come free)
once shoes are loose , push outwards on shoe trying to push it away from the shoe it will touch in front of it , run set screw in slowly until the shoe just touches the shoe in front of it and has a small amount of tension , i refer to this as "the zero point" and all adjustments that i specify are made from this point
it doesnt matter which shoe you start with when using my method as once you have the staggered setting you will NEVER change just one shoe
with the komp shoes my base settings are 1 1/4 , 1 1/2 and 1 3/4 , adjust no more than 1/8th of a turn in either direction but do all three shoes at the same time !!!!
6061 shoes 1 1/2 , 1 3/4 and 2 , same applies here , no more than 1/8th of a turn in either direction , stiffer/tighter for higher grip , softer/looser for low grip
notes: be sure to use a new bell when using komp shoes , i prefer to clean inside of bell with some sort of scotch brite or equivalent and denatured alcohol , 6061 shoes i am preferring to use either new or a bell that has been used with komp shoes , do not change clutch bearings anymore than necessary , especially inner as you do not want grease to get on shoes . i usually change inner bearing every 1.5-2 gallons or so or whenever it feels like it needs be . when installing new cb bearings either blow grease out of inner bearing or run bearing for approx 10 mins , remove bell and clean any grease that has come out and reassemble . i prefer the latter
hope this helps you guys out
when you learn to use the buku clutch system to its full potential you have a very valuable tool thats worth every penny !!!

for a few $$ you can easily replicate clutch setup's with hard #'s to fall back on. VERY useful for detecting a BUM spring too.

I have old ones but i can tell you right now you would benefit about 2min. Of runtime and a much more distinct feel on throttle pull by putting a 24063 or newer carb on and ditching that old short needle
