well, after 70,000 miles, it seems my clutch is slipping.
in 2nd or 3rd gear; if around 8000 rpm's i open the throttle all the way, the RPM's rapidly climb without a corresponding increase in power to the rear wheel (i kinda coast along). if i accelerate more slowly, i don't notice it.
i'm guessing the clutch plates might be fried?
anyway, does anybody know of a replacement clutch plate kit i can buy? i don't want to buy each individual OEM piece, as that seems complicated and expensive.
I have barnett fibers and springs in mine, and just replaced the two burned steels that were warped with new OEM. Barnett can also supply a complete kit with steels for most bikes. Love it, but be careful 'cause the front end will come up a lot easier than you think with a quick snap wink.gif '

Assuming the steel plates and baskets are OK, you can probably get away with just buying:
clutch friction plates: need 8 of these: part # 301-35-10010 (sometimes listed by old part# HPK-20) need 1 of these: part # 301-35-10011 (sometimes listed by old part# HPK-20B)
Also, if it's the first time, you'll probably have to deal with scraping off the clutch cover gasket and gluing on a new one (so you'll also need oil, oil filter, clutch new cover gasket, and gasket glue). If you haven't done it before, there are plenty of walkthroughs on the forums but feel free ping me if needed.
Good luck, Zohar
