A correctly adjusted slipper DOES NOT SLIP causing any loss of power, it only slips when there is a severe shock, load or strain placed on the drivetrain...like jumping in the air and then landing on a solid or high-traction surface with the throttle wide open. Instead of that shock-load transferring to, and breaking a driveline component, the slipper slips just enough to dissipate the load and stop any damage from happening to the driveline.

Again, the slipper should never slip under normal conditions, allowing 100% of your power to reach the ground...it should ONLY slip in the above situations.

Thanks Chad. It's great that you're here, I hardly ever have to respond to questions in my own thread now.
