hello all....i've been having clutch difficulties (i believe)....for example in 4th, 5th, & 6th gear...i will be around 7,000RPM's and if i try to accelerate hard (crack the throttle) the RPM's just "fly" up...i can get all the way up to 10-12,000RPM's but with a lot of highway and a lot of patience...

i'm thinking its my clutch plates...does this sound correct.

i've been looking for clutch kits...any suggestions between the difference of a Barnett complete kit (steel plates, friction plates & springs) in Carbon Fiber for $106.95 or do i go with EBC SRC Series (kevlar paper lined) for $74.50

any and all suggestions most appreciated...

Do you have freeplay in the clutch handle? If you do, it certainly seems like the clutch is slipping and time for a new one.

 

i think i got the same problem
but i believe it's because im not closing the throttle enough

 

Sounds like a clutch to me.

 

I gotta say clutch also, but it is strange it doesn't happen in the lower gears too.

 

thank you all for your responses...fish, it does happen in the lower gears just not as pronounced.

just wanted to make sure before i spend the money for the clutch and make the bike sit for the weekend

thanks again

 

That deffinitely sounds like a clutch problem. I have always liked barnett clutches personally. They're a bit stiffer than stock but if that doesn't bother you then I'd go for it. I don't know to much about the EBC setup though so I can't really compare the two.
