Which clutch? ...Yamaha, Barnett, EBC or other? 1 Year, 4 Months ago  
Looking for recommendations. Planning to replace the clutch plates along with the friction plates.

i dont think you can get any better than the barnett sr-2. but you can go cheaper and stay with stock or double them up to get a stronger hold. but from what i hear the barnett will be better than anything else out there. i have one on order

What is the price difference

From what I have read on here the stock clutch pack is very good. It's the clutch spring that is junk

Having said that I plan on using the barnett clutch spring on the stock clutch pack

+1 thats what I hear too.

Docv if all you want is the stock spring I have a barnett sr-2 on order if you can wait about 2 weeks I will sell you mine for cheap. It has 10k on it. What do you say for $20 shiped, as long as you live in the states.

Looks like Doc V is asking about clutch plates not the spring plate, I would stay stock as others have said.

I went with the Barnett spring plate/ Yami clutch plates. Talk about grabbing. For my money, there is not a better set-up. Unless you are a bodybuilder or have hands bigger than King Kong, I would NOT consider up grading to the heaver springs. The stock ones that come with the plate are more than good enough.
