brock_fuzzy_69 Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 the other good question is what oil do you run in your trans that has a serious effect on the life of the clutches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotts96fast Posted June 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 is the dirt digger a complete kit?with friction ans steel plates? did you oil the frictionplates while putting them in? only 2hours?? yep with both friction and steels plates....I also let the clutch soak in the same oil I am running,which is yamahalube...10w30...I ran the same oil in the stock clutch for 8 years....

scotts96fast Posted June 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 Here is what Barnett said when I emailed them.... While we do not have any known problems with this clutch kit, we would be happy to inspect and replace the clutch as needed. Just send the clutch plates and springs to us and be sure to include your name, address, and note explaining what has happened. With it only lasting two hours, it sounds like it could have been caused by a stack height that was to thin- possibly even due in part from a worn pressure plate and/or clutch boss (inner hub). If your clutch boss or pressure plate is worn, it can cause a new clutch to burn up fast. The clutch plates burning up shouldn't cause any unusual wear on the clutch basket.

23champ Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 I have the same problem. I just got my motor ported, while I had it apart I put a new barnett dirt digger in it. I know it doesn't have any more than 2hrs on it ( most of it is break- in time on my motor , so pretty easy riding). It was slipping so bad that when i took it apart the steels were purple. I only have one thing to say about the $89 barnett dirt digger....JUNK I was told to go with fibers out of a yamaha R6 street bike, as for the steels i don't know. I cant use the barnetts because they have got so hot they've loss their temper. I hate to go back to stockers because of the lesser amount of surface area. I guess i'll stick with the barnett springs due to the stiffer rate. If you figure somthing out let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
