woe to my POS clutch
 

This is the second clutch I have burned on my 954. I am burning clutches every 1500 miles. I burned 2 clutchs also before that chick totaled my other 954 for me. Thats 4 clutches in 10k miles. Whats up. Where are you guys getting your clutches and springs? I am sick of this. On my f3 the clutch lasted all 30k miles I had the bike. I just started to go out when I sold it. I would say that the f3 saw just as many wheelies as my 954. What aftermarket clutches are there for our bikes? springs? where to buy? and do they last longer and stand up to a beating.

a clutch's life is a reflection of it's driver..... so ... WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING... and who is installing these clutchs... what's the info here... either you are not installing clutch right... or you ride very aggressive or you dont know how to ride....... no offence.. just doesn't make sence

clutch is installed right. its the rider. i thought i made that apparent. now the question is a fix for this problem. I know how to ride. i heard barnett springs and stock friction plates do good.

what do u do.... ride the clutch alot of launchs or what, i guess i dont understand your question if your the problem then you should know how to fix it

i am just thinking,what kind of oil are you using?-is it posible that something elsemight
be assisting you with theclutch wear?,besides having fun!

well after research everyone is saying to install the stock plates with barnett springs. I going to give it a try. Also, this time i will probably swap out all 8 metal plates and all 8 friction surfaces.

20,000 + miles and probably more wheelies than that, still on stock clutch, still rips 3rd gear on stock sprockets. Make sure its adjusted right too after its installed.

took the plates out of the basket. it looks like the 2 friction surfaces against the judder spring are completetly fried, however, all of the metal plates and the rest of the friction surfaces are okay. anyone have any idea why i keep frying the plates against the judder spring (yes i replaced the spring seat and judder spring last time around).

i can post pics of the plates if anyone is an expert and would like to help me diagnose, otherwise I really do not want to.

I have replace clutches in a few friends bikes, but i would not want to try and diagnose your problem, it would be a guess at best. Sorry Demon, but i will ask a few buddies who know a lil more then i do.
