New STOCK clutch plates and Ron wood 60% springs. I think everyone will tell you the same.

 

right on the head ...stock clutch with 60% stiffer springs and scuff up the metal plates with 410 sandpaper

 

thanks for all your help but is there a way to check, i serviced the bike tonight than went riding, also i run bomb synthetic oil in it does anyone else

 

GET THAT OIL OTTA THERE!!!! That oil isn't good for your clutches and it cost's a fortune! Even if it says on the back that it's made for clutches, I still don't trust ANY synthetic oil. Especially when your clutch is controlling the torque output of this machine. other people may tell you different and say it's really good for the motor and all, but if your like me and change oil about once a week and still use good oil that's not synthetic, you should have no problem with your motor and/or clutch for a LONG time. I'm not saying you should change oil once a week, but I ride really hard but still like to take REALLY good care of my machines. I suggest running the Valvoline Motorcycle oil or fourwheeler oil (same thing just the motorcycle oil is 20-50 and the quad oil is 10-40) and I use the 20-50 in the summer and 10-40 in the winter. This set up with the clutches and oil I THINK is a REALLY good set up.

 

cool thanks alot i will try and find this is there possibly any other oil that can be used because i am way up north in canada and this stuff is hard to come by

 

castrol gtx 10w-40 or 20w-50! I use 10w-40.

 

That's what I used to use.

 

You change your oil once a week??...
