Want to get a decent clutch for my Indyzx9r, anyone any experience of good clutches. Its needed for track days ..etc so it gts hammered. What thr Barnett clutch like ?.

Cheers

There's nothing wrong with the stock clutch. Just replace the standard clutch springs with Barnetts and it will be fine for trackdays etc.

Hellfire, My stock clutch is knackered so I need some more plates - EBC v Barnett v original ZX9R ?

nothing wrong with the original clutch for the money

just put double clutch springs on and it will feel more car like

unless there already double up

Don't go for the EBC's whatever you do. Personally I'd go for the OEM clutch plates.

I'd second that, OEM every time. as said just use stronger springs. never had mine slip even when drag racing.

I had barnett plates and heavy duty springs, worked fine for me.

If I go for the OEM plates - anyone know the best place to buy them without being ripped off?

Cheers

I would just say, make sure you ask for genuine plates,otherwise you will end up with pattern/ebc
(used to work in the bike trade,so know how they work!)

I would stick with stock plates and uprated springs...

Wouldnt touch barnetts again with a barge pole...

OK message received - got to go for the OEM clutch plates - Can someone tell me the best place to purchase these and approx cost?
