Clutch kits **Bargin** - Page 3 - SV650.org

When i took out my EBC clutch plates i changed the steels as well because they had turned blue (i think its due to heat of the friction) which may make them more prone to warping.
EBC plates use sandpaper like friction pads witch i thinks bad for the steels, got a barnett clutch kit which has cork pads on the clutch plates, no complants

I beleave that the Barnet clutch is kevlar not cork. Not 100% though.

But if they pack up after say,5,000 miles and you have to go all through the hassle again, are they really worth it. ?

Not much hassle really, Only about 15 minutes work

Ok then you lot. You are all great at slagging of EBC products, but other than Barnett, you aint really suggesting anything else.

Don;t know if there is much else. Barnett and OEM? I use OEM because I've got 3 clutches in the garage

It seems that there was some substance to my reluctance to go EBC.

However Viney, would be good if you get one and post on how you fare with it. Fitting it, feel and so on. Won't you need to change the springs too though if they feel weak?

So what price are OEM and Barnett clutches for comparision purposes.

Same cost or Barnett are a tad cheaper. PDQ are the official sellers in the UK.

Ok, just popped onto PDQ's site. No Sv listed but a TL one with plates, steel plates and springs is £145 or about £90 to £100 just for the plates.

It's realtively uncomon to need to replace the steels though.

Nop, go to the Barnett website, get the part number then call PDQ up and they will have the stuff, or call them as they have a complete list of bikes.
