thesheekilz Posted January 29, 2005 Report Posted January 29, 2005 hi guys, I need help on installing a new barnett clutch. Just the plates, not basket. Is there anything special I need to do? I called yamaha and they told me that I am not supposed to put on the cushion ring before the plates. My buddy just burned it up doing a burnout on the concrete. We have 5 clutch plates (smooth plates) and 6 friction plates (rough plates). Is that all that I need? We keep putting it on and it continues not to work. It is doing the same thing that it did when the clutch was burned up. When we start the bike and shift it into first, it will not go anywhere and it will not die; we don't touch the throttle and it still does not die. There is an o-ring behind the clutch basket that dried out and broke; will that o-ring keep it from working. Any help is appreciated. Thanks -Blake Quote
iceman Posted January 29, 2005 Report Posted January 29, 2005 Don't know much about clutches, but do you have a clymers? Quote
racer Posted January 30, 2005 Report Posted January 30, 2005 you may have burned it up already. you are supposed to soak the fibers in gearcase oil for a while before installing them. forgettin that step can be pretty costly. Quote
thesheekilz Posted January 30, 2005 Author Report Posted January 30, 2005 they don't look like they are burned up. when we first got them, we soaked them in oil, but we grinded up that ring so we ordered another one, and in that time, the plates were on a shelf in a closed plastic container. when we went to go and put them on we did not resoak them, but they did have oil residue on them.

zilladude Posted January 30, 2005 Report Posted January 30, 2005 Are you missing a couple of plates, you should have 6 steels & 7 fibers. also are you adjusing the lever properly? Quote
racer Posted January 30, 2005 Report Posted January 30, 2005 also are you adjusing the lever properly? 314308[/snapback] dont forget the ball and rod thingy also. its that screw with a jam nut in the center of the clutch basket. Quote
ssanddemon Posted January 30, 2005 Report Posted January 30, 2005 Dude, get a book! Clutches aren't that complicated, but you need ALL the parts together in the right order for them to work! Quote
banshee76179 Posted January 30, 2005 Report Posted January 30, 2005 Save urself time and cash get the good book.. later.. Quote
wesw Posted January 31, 2005 Report Posted January 31, 2005 should be 7 fibers, if you dont have them all you will be slipping. and do what everyone else told you to do Quote
thesheekilz Posted January 31, 2005 Author Report Posted January 31, 2005 (edited) Got a book bro; don't help shit. He bought it at Yamaha. Now that I think about it he probably does have all the plates, he just didn't count them and assumed that there was only 5 steel ones and 6 fiber ones. I just called him and asked him to go check but he said he was too tired so fuck it, he can deal with this shit himself. Thanks for all the input guys. Edited January 31, 2005 by thesheekilz Quote
