i just installed a set of barnett clutches in my 99 shee. my ?? is how durable are these compared to stock? i also installed all six springs to insure no slipping.

 

How does it perform? Is it smoother than stock? Under power?

i just got it in tonight but going to ride tomorrow. but yes it pulls smooth but the heavy clutch pull will take a little more effort.

 

I recently put a barnett clutch in my banshee.... This weekend, I'm going to take out 3 of the heavy barnet springs, and put 3 of the lighter stock springs back. My clutch hand hurt pretty bad after a day of riding. But my clutch doesn't slip anymore, I hope it still doesn't slip when I change out half the springs.

 

the three stockers and three barr. is the way to go, just be sure to measure your springs to make sure they are within specs

 

got a barnett in mine, and my left arm is bigger now. HARD TO PULL. Was checking out those hydraulic clutches for the banshee. What do you guys think about these.

 

I went with a Barnett clutch and their included heavy duty springs....For me, It felt way too notchy and a bit harder to pull the lever.
I ended up removing 3 of the springs and replacing with the stock ones...It's better, and no slip as of yet.

 

If you think the Barnett clutch is stiff, try a Toomey clutch sometime. Anyway I had a Barnett clutch last time, and went with a EBC Dirt Racer clutch instead this time. I had to replace the clutch basket also though since the cushions were worn. The EBC seems a bit smoother to me. Anyway that's my 2 cents worth for the night.

 

If you plan on using a Toomey or a Barnett clutch with all of the heavier springs in it then you better make sure you don't rev the bike much with the clutch pulled in. If you do then you will end up welding the ball bearing to the clutch rod. The increase in force on the bearing and the rod will weld it to the rod and may also weld the rod to the actuating arm in the case. Take a look at a mod made by Engine Trix. It replaces the adjustment mechanism so that it uses a flat bearing to ride on similar to the 250R. You'll never weld the bearing to the rod again.

I use three stock and three heavy duty springs with no problems. Also use an EZ-pull clutch lever. I do not like the Barnett kevlar because they muddy the oil.
