Check out steps 20 and 21 in this link. Are you sure you have the clutch plates installed all the way? It took me a couple of trys to get everything lined up perfectly so the there was no play in the clutch pack once reassembled.

Why is your DR that far down in the pack? I wouldn't think it would matter but Revloc said for the E-series that there should be only one friction disc above the DR. Don't worry about the extra spring in the kit. A lot of them come that way as they can be used on more than just one application. Also, did you adjust the DR according to Revloc's directions?

Well, I followed the instructions on this page to a T.

I went for a ride today. It seems like I'm in the ballpark now. More importantly, I can override the auto clutch. I ended up changing 4 things.
1. I removed a ring. There was only one ring in there, so the previous owner must have missed it.
2. I removed 1 wave spring from the dynaring. I am now running 2.
3. I replaced the 4 throw out bearing springs with ones that are 10% stiffer.
4. I switched to ATF type F.
The auto clutch functions, but the bike has to be completely up to temperature. Which is fine. I just use the clutch until its up to temp.
Thanks for your help guys!

Now that you've got the bike running with the DR, try fine tuning it by playing with the clutch cable adjustment at the lever. A small adjustment makes a big difference on how the DR functions.
How do you like it, so far?

Yup! Just an 1/8 of a turn on the adjuster can make a huge difference. Following those instructions on TT will get you in the ballpark but doesn't cover the fine tuning. If your DR isn't working when cold it sounds like you don't have quite enough gap. Anyways, play with the adjustment a bit a see the difference in how it engages and pick what works for you.
