#427657 Doc_V (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1245 HELP! Where have all the clutch springs gone?! 7 Months, 2 Weeks ago   This is getting ridiculous, I've ordered *two* different heavy duty clutch springs, both from different manufactures and separate suppliers and BOTH suppliers notified me [more than a week after I placed the order], that they are no longer available from the manufactures. Seriously... What gives?! So now I need a *reliable* source for a clutch spring to replace my slipping stock spring with 40k miles on it. I'd greatly appreciate some referrals. Also, if worse comes to worse, has anyone successfully tried stacking a new stock spring, with the original, to resolve the problem? ...Or perhaps an alternative clutch spring from another bike that will work with the Roadstar? Doc_V P.S. Can't afford a Barnette, so thanks but no thanks.   Logged     Last Edit: 2011/10/11 12:33 By Doc_V.   “The world breaks everyone, and afterward, many are strong at the broken places.” - Ernest Hemingway   The administrator has disabled public write access. #427658 ultrastar (User) Keep The Speedometer Side Up Platinum Boarder Posts: 2937 Re:HELP!

Tried ebay too, but all I found were the Barnettes and the more expensive Yamaha competition springs.   Logged     Last Edit: 2011/10/11 12:35 By Doc_V.   “The world breaks everyone, and afterward, many are strong at the broken places.” - Ernest Hemingway   The administrator has disabled public write access. #427664 ultrastar (User) Keep The Speedometer Side Up Platinum Boarder Posts: 2937 Re:HELP!

Doc_V P.S. Can't afford a Barnette, so thanks but no thanks. Get a used one from one the guys that put on the barnett. Then double it up. Cheapest and easiest I know of. Its what I am doing right now. It will *DEFINITELY* stop any clutch slipping you have right now. I am also waiting on the EBC CSK906 spring. They said it was going to be available way back in August... they keep lying.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #427705 Doc_V (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1245 Re:HELP! Where have all the clutch springs gone?! 7 Months, 2 Weeks ago   FYI- The Barnette, clutch spring ads on ebay say: Fits Yamaha models: ROAD STAR 1999-2011 V-MAX 1985-2011 ROYAL STAR VENTURE 1986-2011 So that begs the question, has anyone tried using the lesser expensive, stock style diaphragm clutch spring from a Royal Star or VMax? FYI- According to the dealer, the Yamaha Part # for the Stock Spring is 4NK-16334-00-00 which is shared by both the Royal Star and Roadstar. While searching, I did happen to see the EBC aftermarket replacement spring for around $20, on a number of sites, but all say it's currently not available. https://www.denniskirk.com/ebc/diaphragm-clutch-spring.p383787.prd/383789.sku http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/3/14/348/31311/19176/PITEM/EBC-Diaphragm-Clutch-Spring-1999-Yamaha-Road-Star-1600-Parts.aspx   Logged     Last Edit: 2011/10/11 16:57 By Doc_V.   “The world breaks everyone, and afterward, many are strong at the broken places.” - Ernest Hemingway   The administrator has disabled public write access. #427709 Crusierbob (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1267 Re:HELP!

Where have all the clutch springs gone?! 7 Months, 2 Weeks ago   I'm using a double up. But using the spring from a Virago1100. It's a little smaller, so that makes for a nice over lap. been using it for 80k, and friction plates have 137k on them. Need I say more? lol Think the Virago were in the late90's.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
