hey guys,

shopping for a clutch kit for my tri z. i'm looking at a barnett kit and an ebc kit, both complete with friction and steel disks, and springs. within a few bucks on ebay.

anyone recomend one brand over the other?

thanks!

Hey,

Well i can't recomend one over the other. I can say the barnett kit i installed almost two years ago now still works great! Hope that helps ya out a bit.

i have a barnett in my 250r and an ebc in my tri z. i like them both. the barnett springs are noticeably stiffer. both good choices!!! hope this helps good luck.

I will say one ,,any clutch plate with a alum backer for a friction plate,, I find contaminates the oil quicker with fine alum. shavings ,,,, even worse on a older wore out basket,, cant go wrong with OEM,Vesrah,ebc,kg factory,with a steel backer plate,altho I run barnett springs I have been shying away from the friction plates for this reason.

good info Raffa, so your reffering to the Barnett frictions as causing this.

Indeed, I think I might be doin a little switcharoo when I do the mains. Thanks Raffa whenever I need info on the z's I always hunt down your posts.

Yes,, thats what Im referring to.. I run belray 80w.. I ran Barnett for years,, because they had the whole kit.. with springs.. but somewhere along the line they switch to a alum backer plate.. was lookin for plates for the 490 last night ,,, and had no idea Pro-x has clutch sets,,,

$25. A plate for oem would have me using Barnett for a while.
