Just wondering been considering same upgrade don't notice alot of slippage in mine but doesn't always have the pull I think it should,thanks   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #506483 TMK (User) Sometimes Wrong But Never In Doubt Platinum Boarder Posts: 1079 Re:Barnett Clutch Kit installed >>> 11 Months ago   The clutch itself was about half through its useful life according to the caliper reading. It was slipping pretty badly as a result of the spring wear. I figured just replace all the guts while it was open and be done with it...truthfully, I should have just gone with the Barnett springs years ago but I didn't...now, I know I have a good long while before I have to even think about the clutch again   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #506485 brown91redcam (User) Another Day In the Wind Platinum Boarder Posts: 2081 Re:Barnett Clutch Kit installed >>> 11 Months ago   Ok thanks for the info,might just go with the Barnett spring upgrade then,mine look good when I had it apart,just had the bearing go out is all before,bike only has 30k on it   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #506530 Darn (User) Don't forget, Never forget.

GP I only did the spring upgrade, but if I were to do it again, I would do the entire pack and the spring. Made such a difference that the first time I down shifted, I almost hit my nose on the windshield.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #506635 Rodster (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 50 Re:Barnett Clutch Kit installed >>> 11 Months ago   Ted, Did you do this yourself?

If so were did you get the Kit ? Did not do it myself...way above my pay grade...buddy owns a local independent shop and I ordered the parts through his source at a local dealership...I hang out, watch and learn...he makes it look relatively easy but I'm pretty sure i'm not ready to do this job on my own yet. Oil changes, tune ups, pipes, carb adjustments, brakes...no problem...cracking the case...nahhhh...wish I could...when I retire I will take the time to learn   Logged     Last Edit: 2012/06/20 21:03 By TMK.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #506665 Rodster (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 50 Re:Barnett Clutch Kit installed >>> 11 Months ago   I totally understand! Mine is slipping in 4th and 5th gear when I get on it !not sure what to do just got the bike it has 38k on it ! Love the bike would just love to get this fixed!Some say just springs I'm thinking if I'm gonna tear into it just as well do the whole thing!   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #506710 TMK (User) Sometimes Wrong But Never In Doubt Platinum Boarder Posts: 1079 Re:Barnett Clutch Kit installed >>> 11 Months ago   That's exactly what mine was doing ... The fellas steered me towards the Barnett springs and were right! I decided with 39525 on the clock to just bite the bullet and do the whole job. I figure I bought 7-10 years of no worries . I was real busy today and really didn't get to wring her out but the ride home from the shop gave me time to crank it up and all slippage was gone!   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
