Chocalate Mikadamia nuts are soooooo good, why don't you just send me a box while your in the giving mood. I also want some big breadfruits, some boiled bananas, a big chunk of corned beef, some zippy's chile, and a nice sack of Muai wowii, or Hilo bud. I'll trade you a few cans of spam and a 2lb bag of Arizonas' finest.
Don't Clyde it, ride it!

I don't know what you do to them Brit, I've got an EBC in mine and have hammered it for 1 1/2 years and its still holding up well! I put some tighter springs on it though, which could be why.

I ran all 3 with the heavy springs and cooked every single one. The barnett ones holding up good so far tho
I dont think the friction or the steels are an issue with them I think its the springs, when new they are shorter than the barnetts and eventually they sag causing sudden death.
Heres a comparison of length, EBC heavy springs in front barnett in the back....

So I just smoked a brand new OEM clutch (fibers and steels, they are steel not aluminum) but I think where I went wrong is using the stock (new) springs. Probably should have used heavy duty. I didn't make it one ride in the dunes and it was slipping bad. New Hinson basket as well. I will have to try something else I guess. I have always had good luck with stock Honda stuff. I have a stock porting, cut head with rechambered dome, V Force 2 reeds, PC pipe, 40.5 mm carb so it's by no means a radical setup.

i use heavy duty springs but stockers work fine for stock bike. if you have a tendency to "ride" the clutch like alot of guys, the sand adds a ton more resistance than dirt- you can burn a new clutch in 30min if you not careful.LOVEMYCR500 wrote:So I just smoked a brand new OEM clutch (fibers and steels, they are steel not aluminum) but I think where I went wrong is using the stock (new) springs.

Did you also install a new pressure plate and the inner hub? These are often overlooked when people put in a new clutch.LOVEMYCR500 wrote:So I just smoked a brand new OEM clutch (fibers and steels, they are steel not aluminum) but I think where I went wrong is using the stock (new) springs.
