I have researched the clutch issue and street bike clutch.

 

fzr 600 has the same fibers as the banshee. Even the barnett part numbers are the same. I imagine if you buy a super high quality kit for the fzr it may be stronger... but I'm guessing the stock fibers may be a good choice if it can handle the fzr. Funny thing is, the part numbers are the same and the price is twice that for the banshee than the fzr go figure. This is at www.ronnies.com anyway. I went to a shop and there were tons of bikes that use the same fibers.

 

fzr uses a different basket than the banshee.

 

barnett steels and most aftermarket steels are the same thickness as the stock.. .045 to .047

 

good oil and stiffer springs make the most difference in the clutch for the money. I'd like to see what springs the fzr is using. Guess I'll have to go check on that

 

you can roughen the steels in your clutch if the thickness of the fibers and steels are okay

 

dexron 3 tranny fluid made my clutch quit sticking when reving in gear

 

alot of the shifting trouble my banshee has had is due to the cam adjuster for the shift shaft. It was loose and had a groove in it from the spring. I ground off the grooves and tightened the hell out of it after adjusting. Shifts fine now.

 

I thought my barnett dirtdigger clutch was toast, but when I opened it up it looked perfect. The trouble was the gear oil I was using.

 

I think that's it.

 

I hope that helps

People have used fibers from FZR's before. My builder even reccomended them to me. If I wasnt installing a lockup I wouldve put those in my bike fo sho!

Don't waste your time and money. Go with a "KG clutch factory" clutch kit. It comes with springs and all for around $85. I run them in all my banshees. I actually pulled the set that I TT raced on all year (4mm stroker motor and TT is hard on a clutch) and they looked good so I put them in my 65HP trail bike and they are still working great.
