My Banshee needs a clutch, only one season on the Barnett since having Alba port it. I figured the wet sand probably helped with it's demise. Decided to bail out again this week on Thursday and go play in the sand. So I start calling around to all the local bike shops to find another one & guess what, everybody sells & stocks them but no-one has one in stock at this time. Luckily the parts guy at Alba knows his stock pretty well & even though the computer says they are out he dug around & found one for me.
Makes sense that everyone is sold out though considering 9 trips to the "G" this year & not a dry one yet. I bet the aftermarket clutch guys are making a killing on ATV clutches this year in California.

maybe for those that are still running paddles and/or not adjusting air pressure.

Throw that Barnett in the trash where it belongs and get Yamaha part # 4H7-16321-02 fibers 7 for a stock hub or 8 for the big Hinson...No more issues

I have been running at least 5 pounds in my paddles this season, usually run about 3-3.5 pounds in dry conditions.

Dunedemon- What springs are you running with those fibers. What difference in performance did you notice most over the aftermarket fibers, which leads you to recommend them?

Thanks,

Derek

i have heard from lotso places that the stock fibers are the best out at the moment... the aftermarket fibers didnt hold up to well...

Im puttin stock fibers back in my wr426..

When it is wet, flip the paddles around, i.e. right on the left, left on the right. A friend told me to try this and I thought he was joking. It worked great. Not to much hook-up and alot better than knobbies.

I'm running toomey springs, Hinson 8 plate inner hub, basket and pressure plate, stock cable with an RTC pro pull lever, clutch actuation is nice and easy with a good friction point feel. These fibers just work much smoother than the Barnetts, have more surface area than the Barnetts or the stockers, are easier on the basket fingers, and in my bike (370 LR, full dune port - 66HP / 43 LB/FT on gas) last longer and hold up to more abuse. Plus the guy who builds my engines runs them in his 120+ HP drag bikes and swears by them. They typically cost around $6.00 each so the price is good too.

hate to rub this in but i have a85 atc 250r that has the original clutch in it stil.i have had the bike for 5 years bought off the org owner.
I seem to have good luck with m/c clutches though my streetbikes seem to get 20k plus miles on them too.And have never had to replace a dirtbike clutch.even with the ocasional drag racing.

I had the original clutch in my 85 250R, took it apart and decided to replace it. Not much wear, but did it for the peace of mind. Probably would have lasted another 20 years

Yup, just replaced my stock '86 250r clutch for the first time. Went with stock fibers again.

when i replace mine i will do so with a stock one if i can.In my experience when it comes to m/c clutches stock is the only way to go if you want it to last.
