Quick clutch plate wear -- replace slave?

[Speeddog]

1) Hub nut is 190 N-m (142 ft-lb)

2) The thin washer with the 6 cutouts to go around the posts?
    It's supposed to be flat...

3) That stack height is fine, I've found the range of 38.8-37.3 to work OK.

Gracias, Nick.

Nah, it's #5 on Figure 4.

I'm voting slave or master.  Nothing coming out the weep hole in the slave?  Master becomes suspect.  Check the bleed screw in the reservoir before condemning, as previously stated.

Nothing coming out the weep hole in the slave?  

The only weeping is over my poor, swollen, now-purple pinky.

According to my tech, the 999/749 clutch masters are prone to this, I don't know exactly what the flaw is but I know of  a few that have done it.

The shop gave me an OEM slave (love those guys).  They thought it might be something in the master, citing how notorious the 999 masters are for problems.  I'll bleed it again tonight and then try to ride tomorrow.  If that does't help, I'll switch slaves.  If that doesn't help, then I'm betting it the master.

2)  The convex washer on the outside of the hub, but beneath the nut.  It fell out and I didn't get it's original orientation.  Should it be concave facing outward or convex facing outward?  In other words, should it bulge toward the outside or curve toward the inside?

The shop owner says it's supposed to bulge outward.  It's f'n murphy's law -- anytime you take something apart where you *know* the orientation of a part is critical and you try to keep the part in its original orientation, that part will fall out and you won't know which direction you're supposed to put it back in.

OK, the serrated belleville washer.

IMO, it doesn't matter which way it goes in, it's pinched between the nut and the top-hat shaped part.
