So I already know I'm not the first to post a thread about this but my right side gears keep chirping and it's because of the clutch pads I'm thinking its because they are glazed over but I don't know how to prevent them from glazing, also I'm looking for new pads if there are any suggestions that would be great. I had just upgraded from a 44t to a 32t and it's a beast it goes crazy fast now but from taking off the pads chirp really load and it's kind of annoying. I was reaching out because I didn't know if there are any performance clutch pads or if they are all crappy.

The bike kit is the a50 80cc (66) 2 stroke china no name engine

The best way to extend clutch life is to pedal up to speed before releasing the clutch, my oldest engine is now 10 years old and has the original pads. I never ride or slip the clutch, once up to 8-10 mph I quickly let the clutch out.

My bike developed a chirp that I thought was the clutch, however when I torqued the head the chirp went away.
