Clutch Steels

Postby short n fat » Tue Oct 09, 2007 6:41 pm

My clutch is still slipping at high revs when it gets hot. ('93 ZXR750L) :(
I replaced friction plates and springs (OEM) and figured I might as well try replacing the steels as well.
Does anybody know what the stock thickness is of the steels? I've heard mentioned everything from
5 x 2.0 plus 2 x 2.3
to
6 x 2.3 plus 1 x 2.6
I realise the thickness difference is used to set up the slipper clutch but being a commuter all I really care about is getting it set up to stop the clutch slipping.
I decided to just order a mixture of thicknesses and start playing around, but the local stealer says it will take about 4 weeks to get them in :? (and they couldn't tell me what thickness are stock - had no idea what I was talking about :? )
Anyone reccomend where I can buy aftermarket steels only from?
Thanks and regards
Simon

Barnett make all clutch bits. Get the steels from them, and why not grab a set of their springs too - they're longer and stronger than the OEMs, which will jam the plates together with a bit more "woohoo" for ya.

Thanks mate - that's a top site. Now saved in favourites.
I found a shop in Adelaide who can do the barnett steels and springs. Stuff should turn up early next week. I'll try the steels and 3 barnett, 3 three stock springs and see if that sorts out the slipping :D
Thanks for the help

The only place that I tried that would do the steels seperate. All others wanted to do complete clutch packs.

Loz, I work for the Aust distributor of Barnett

Short'n'fat, that's pretty slack, the steels can be bought individually off us just as easily as a full clutch kit.
