Clutch Slipage question...

  • Thread starter Thread starter TheCafeKid
  • Start date Start date
Oh i misread, thought you meant you tried half and half barnett and stock fibres. Springs! gotcha. I have to say, the stock Zook springs feel pretty damn good to me. I dont think i would want a heavier feeling clutch than it is with new ones in there. But then again, this bike is completely stock as far as performance goes. Maybe if it was pulling more HP or something i may think differently.
 
I did a barnett fiber kit with new stock springs a while ago, no problems. the springs were in spec but so cheap I replaced them anyway. I would not shim the springs because you change the preload condition point and that could lead to failure

Im starting to hear that alot. After talking to Rapidray, my local dealer, Barnett, and FBG (Fast by Gast http://www.fastbygast.com/) Im tossing all the Barnett stuff and geting 9 new fibers, 8 new steels and a cover gasket from Patrick at FBG for $125. My local dealer wanted over $15 per fiber and who knows what the steels would have been.

Thanks Ray for the heads up.

CK, where R those pics ? :-D

I probably have 9 Barnett steels that are OK and most of the fibers but I dont need a mic to see a couple fibers are cooked. Any one need some gently used Barnett clutch parts there all yours......

CK, any luck on those pics ?:) I have a question about items 15,16 & 17 and the un numbered ring between them. How do they go in and what holds them in ? 16 is nowhere to be found. ????

They go in as shown in the diagram, the un-numbered ring is one of your steel plates and #16 is the retention ring that holds them in. If you don't have #16 anymore then someone has been in there before and omitted putting it back in, the factory has it in for noise reasons and perhaps wear associated with what would make the noise.
 
regarding the oil and clutch issue mentioned earlier, when I first got my bike I thought old motor I'll put in 20w50 oil. Well the clutch certainly didn't slip but it would not fully disengage until the bike had run for 10 minutes.

then I read the oil cap that said 10w40, changed the oil to that and the problem went away. I always did have issues reading instructions.:(
