I took apart my clutch and i was wondering if anyone could tell me the sequence on putting the clutch pack back together. I took it apart a few weeks ago, and forgot. I have 8 steel plates, and 9 friction plates. BTW, i emailed Barnett, and they were no help. Thanks | ||

I've done it numerous ways with different plates including stock Buell, HD different ones, several kevlar types, and removing the fat cushion type plate in the centre to enable getting extra friction plate in. In the end I settled for stock plates running HD primary oil using an extra strong Barnett spring plate. This was the best result I had after all of the messing about years ago when I did a bit of drag type racing. Again from memory, friction first then steel F S F S F S F S F S F S F S F S F Nice to see you here Mikey. Rocket in England | ||

Thanks Rocketman! It's good to have old friends around! Going back togther shortly. Will see what happens. Having strange noise from my bike at 2500rpm. I thought it was the clutch. Will put it back to totgether and see whats up. | ||

FWIW, my X-1 service manual shows fiber plate goes in first. Hope this helps, Dave | ||

You've had your Buell a long time Mikey. Can't be many of us left now surely? Rocket in England | ||

"Again from memory, friction first then steel F S F S F S F S F S F S F S F S F " This shows 9 fiber plates but there are only 8. From the 1999-2000 shop manual: F-S-F-S-F-S-F-spring plate-F-S-F-S-F-S-F Hope this helped. | ||

While you've got it apart it's a good idea to replace the middle spring dampner plate with 2 steels and one fibre. This gives you more surface area and also takes the dampner plate out before it blows up.. And yes there's one more fibre than steel so therefore the fibres go on the outside. | ||

This shows 9 fiber plates but there are only 8. Well, Mikey sez he has 9. I tried to cover a few different plate set-ups I've tried years ago, and as StevO confirms, don't use the damper plate. If using a heavy duty spring plate, lever action is harder. Rocket in England | ||

Steve that "spring plate" is officially known as the grenade plate... its best use is a paper weight.... | ||

I have a collection of them here, some have exploded and some are just waiting to.... some have taken out the clutch basket in the process too. I also like the heavy spring plate but don't use it on all my sportys / buells, just the ones I run hard. If the OP has the Barnett clutch kit with 9 fibres then that's the extra plate kit and you don't use the dampner plate in the middle. Just a point the Barnett plates also have less take up, especially with the heavier spring plate, great for drag racing as very little clutch movement has the clutch fully on or off but the stock plates are more forgiving for street use. I'm a fan of stock plates (with the extras if needed) and a heavy spring on most bikes, that includes jappas. (Message edited by stev0 on September 09, 2013) | ||

I don't think the Barnett has a grenade plate. | ||

some Barnet kits are just stock replacement and some are "extra plate" kits. He's got an "extra plate" one |
