Buckster Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 Fitted a Baker heavy duty clutch throw out bearing today. See here! It increases clutch disengagement and is supposed to slightly increase the lever pressure but I can’t feel any difference, it was a preventative maintenance job as stage 2 puts a lot more load on the clutch and the bearing tends to fail. Next job is the Barnet extra plate clutch kit as the clutch slips under power in fifth and sixth now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I installed a Barnett clutch in my XS 400R & also in one of my Seca 550's....they worked awesome ...absolutely loved 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Doesn't anyone else see the missing logic in this....your working half arse backwards.... You've opened it up to install a new trow out bearing and now your gonna open it up again for a clutch kit....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the opposite side of the crankcase. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catteeclan Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 I guess the extra plate is taking advantage of the contact area increase to help with slip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
