clutch question

[DonTZ125]

For a street bike, there isn't anything particularly wrong with the stock clutch. I don't know the prices of anything, so you may find one cheaper than the other. I do know my left forearm always hurt after I swapped out the clutch on my old RZ350 for Barnett springs.

Mike as to the question OEM or aftermarket.
OEM plates for the clutch
springs I run half and half as I said
My comment about all Barnett springs is fairly universal you need to be Popeye for any kind of reasonable ride

Barnett clutch kits cut stock primary drive baskets apart.Im running yamaha steels and fibres with barnett springs.Pushing 142rwhp on the track with no slip.
Yamaha steels were considered the best factory clutch steels of the period.

+5..exactly my opinion/experience.

so it sounds like everyone is saying full stock replacement with only possible change being Barnett springs. Thanks for the help. sorry mike94fzr600 kind of jumped in on this to get a lot of my questions solved to. didn't mean to thread jack. where is the best place online in you're guys opinion to get the parts from?

D,
nice write, copy it into the wiki so you (or we) do not have to re-write it. Nice work !!!

Thank you, sir. I don't know how to load things into the wiki, so do please be my guest. I have edited the post to fix two errors, so copy it fresh.

I'm working on formatting it to go into the Wiki now and I'll try tonight to upload the pics I took when I did my clutch replacement.

BTW, I'm running a stock clutch basket, flywheel, and OEM steels, but I'm running EBC Kevlar "Street Racer" friction plates and springs.

Cheaper than Barnett and bites really well, but if you get stuck in stop and go traffic, you'll be hurting less if you throw it in neutral and just push the bike.

Edit: George already added it, so I'll just try to remember to post pics tonight.

Yup sorry had Daddy duties just as I finished the WIKI piece please add the pictures by all means .

I must admit the adding of stuff to a prior WIKI page proved to be challenge and it does not do Don TZ125's piece justice.

BUT I did not want 2 clutch pages but rather give the readers two options on one page :-

please add the pictures by all means .

I went home last night to find out that my internet was down, and sometimes it takes the DSL company a while to get around to getting it fixed, but I'll get them up as soon as possible.

No worries hopefully the WIKI will stay put. Our ISP just gave us adsl2+ and the service is up and down like a working girls underwear.
