clutch plates and springs
 

I will soon be needing to replace my clutch plates and springs what do you all think are the best parts

Re: clutch plates and springs
 

OEM, Barrnet are the next best, they had a bad batch of springs a while ago, i complained and they sent me a free set and they explained it was due to a problem they've had with the plating process

any one know what the EBC carbon//kevlar plates are like???

They ruin the steel plates, too aggressive

svrash - I hope that's not the ones I bought off you on flea-bay! I haven't fitted the clutch yet!

Nope, i threw the EBC clutch stuff in the bin...best place for it :smt045

I've heard of people using 3 stiffer Barnett springs and 3 OEM, but tbh I see no need, the OEM stuff is more than enough to deal with an SV's power output so why make the action heavier?

Yep a full barnett kit is just too heavy and does your hand in, every few months i have have trouble for a day or two with the tendons on my left wrist because of it. I will eventualy change them back, but i need to get another OEM set as my old ones were way under spec.

so would you use Barnett clutch plates and OEM springs

Have had very very good feedback on them from peeps racing in the states. 70% lighter than stock plates so less mass to move which will help the engine to spin up quicker.

I have a set for my racebike which are going in Friday...if you call them..ask for Reggie...a currently broken:( SV650 racer himself.
