Fitting new clutch(fireblade 954)
Out today for run when clutch started slipping when accelerating through higher gears, so reckon its time for a new clutch. Any tips/advice on
fitting new one myself?, need to purchase new clutch (honda oem) and barnett springs, anything else? Thanks Gordy.

Check the thickness of the steels and the friction plates and see if they are within tolerance. It could be that you only need the Barnett springs
(Unless you've already fitted them)

Yep, sounds like new clutch. You might also need a new gasket for the clutch cover. If you can tilt the engine before removing and fitting the new
clutch, you may not need to drain any oil. Other than that, sounds like you've got it covered. Definitely go for OEM frictions and plates.

Make sure it's properly adjusted, and then tell your left boot it's a bike clutch and "she'll be right mate." I wear
baseball boots or an old pair of 3mm neoprene diving boots.

Clutch was in car when i bought it Tony, have had car 3 years now, done nearly 4000 miles and half a dozen trackdays and never experienced clutch
slipping before, tbh i'm always gentle on clutch and use minimal revs when pulling away, so i'll replace clutch just to be safe, with the
long summer ahead

Appologies thought you'd just bought it and were new to the sensativity of bike clutches,
