Clutch slipping
Bigboystoys - 6/5/11 at 07:48 PM

Rights people advice required please, my clutch is slipping on my gsxr powered car. I am already running barnnet springs but what plates are people using. I used to run a full Barnett clutch and springs on my blade engine but found it quite hard work although it never slipped.

Standard plates, the Barnet ones dont last.

With standard springs as well?
Cheers sam

FWIW, I recall the oil being a crucial factor during my biking days! Make sure it's clean and the right stuff!

Yeh I'm a biker myself and my r1 slips with the fully synthetic oil so I know I have the right engine oil. Thanks for the suggestion though that does catch a lot of people out

BBT ive a GSXR power car too mate, and i race mine ive spoken to holeshot racing last week and they state use genuine clutch friction plates and genuine clutch steel discs with there Heavy duty clutch springs, my plates and gaskets and steak nut came to £235 from suzuki and the HD springs were £20 from holeshot, they use the std plates in everything and stated they use these in all there builds inc the 400bhp ones in the gsxr, and everything thing else is crap on the market, nothing beats the genuine parts apparently mate.. hope this helps. got mine finished tonight and works fine now so i do the same as me....
