Clutch Springs...

[FOXBANSHEE30]

i just put new clutch plates in my Shee along with the EBC HD Spring Kit and got the little arrows adjusted and the thing is crazy tight. Should i put three of the old ones on there to lighten it up?? Oh and the new ones are quite a bit shorter than the old ones, will that make a difference?? Thanks. MEADOWS. <<<CWB>>>

Put all the old springs back in !

You can probably put half old half new with no problem. I know quite a few people that like to do that. I would suggest sticking with all new springs though. It will feel hard at first, but after about 3 rides with it, you will have no problem pulling it. I like to think it buffs up your arm, and makes other people seem wimpy if they try to ride your stuff.

Try useing three of the old springs and three of the new ones, just alternate one new and then one old. That should lighten up the pull some and still give the clutch good pressure.

correct me if I am wrong but he said the new springs are shorter,so I think they should be easier right?

 

Something sounds fishy..

with the EBC HD kits are the stock orings, left in or out? All the other HD kits I know of your suppose to take the orings out, maybe they are causing the stiffness..

just my thought..

Not necessarily... spring length has very little to do with spring tension. In fact, if the aftermarket springs have the same number of coils as stock, in a shorter configuration, made from the same material it would be significantly stiffer. Don't confuse spring length as any correlation to spring tension/rate. As far as the o-rings your guess is as good as mine.

LOL, it always kept my friends from trying to ride my banshee...half of them could barely even pull the clutch in when I ran all 6 aftermarket springs

Put the six heavy duty springs in and get a e-z pull clutch lever.

I just put an ebc clutch in my Rz last Sunday night. I didnt put the o-rings back in and they clutch is working great. Also, iv put two ebc clutches in my banshees over the years.... with no o-rings and didnt have any chatter or slipage.

 

EBC=no O-rings.

Ditch the orings. They are only to be used on stock clutch plates.
