BanshAholic Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 Ive got a 80 horse 350 barnett basket and fibers,i put a 17 tooth front on the bike and it still slips with the brand new clutch.So im wondering if anywon thinks that unless i have a lockup it is going to slip with the big gear no matter what,or am i doing something wrong.I torqued all the spring and throw out at 7.5 ft pounds,is there something obvious im missing?

J-Madd Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 Make sure there is a little slack in your clutch cable and that the clutch arm on the case is lined up with the arrow. Did you soak the clutch fibers in oil before installation? Is it installed correctly? The first peice should be a clutch fiber plate, then alternating with steel plates. If there was a steel plate first, I suppose it could cause slipping. That would be an easy oversight. There is no reason for that clutch to slip, gearing doesn't matter.

jbooker82 Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 What kind of Barnett Fibers are you running? What springs did you put in. I run the barnett carbon fiber clutch on my patriot racing 4 mill. I just used the stock springs since I have a lock up. The clutch kit did come with 2 sets of springs.

BanshAholic Posted July 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 (edited) Yea i went fiber first and last ive changed em before with no problems,if i give the handle a lil tension it lines with that mark.I used the super heavy duty ones that came with it thickest ive ever seen em Edited July 2, 2007 by BanshAholic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snopczynski Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Ok, so its probably actually about 65 hp. So this is a full barnett clutch, springs, and a barnett basket? What rear tooth rear sprocket, and what size rear tires are on the bike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BanshAholic Posted July 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Why u say that theres dyno's no different then others, full barnett system,17 tooth front, stock rear ,pro wedge 2's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynojet released information that their correction factors skew hp numbers from 15-20% off the actual numbers. I dont know what size a pro wedge 2 is, so your gonna need to tell me.

BanshAholic Posted July 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 22 inches, the steels have a rounded edge and a more flat sharp edge on the different sides looking back i wasnt putting them in a certain way maybe that would make a difference.

Snopczynski Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Rounded edges are supposed to face out. Its sounds like you have entirely too much gearing and tire size rolled up in this thing. I have a hard time believing that you can pull full rpm in 6th gear with that kind of gearing. I would personally on that machine run something along the lines of 14/46 with a 22" tire.

BanshAholic Posted July 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Yea the gearing being the way it is makes for some real nice 2nd gear launches,ill drop down to the 13 i have and make the steels right see what happens it almost completely revs out but its real unstable and kinda scary only back brakes lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BanshAholic Posted July 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Well i pulled it back apart made steels smooth out,torqued everything back down and its still slipping in final gears unless i slowly give it power,when i pull the clutch arm in it lines with the pointer casted into the case,i assumed thats what i wanted not for it to line up when it's released.I had another idea today i didnt build the bike and was told it was an aftermarket barnett basket,is there a possibility that i should have 1 more steel and fiber making it an eight fiber system,and would it be safe to just try putting 1 more in?
