TARHEEL RIDER Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 does anyone have a stock clutch spring laying around from an upgrade? I have a friend who wants to remove the heavier spring and replace with a stock one.
skydoc_17 Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 Hey Frank, If you install a used, stock Clutch Diaphragm Spring from a bike that had a slipping clutch, then you will have a slipping clutch in that bike as well! If the amount of clutch lever pull pressure is the problem, then get a new stock clutch diaphragm spring from Yamaha, and you will be good for a while. (If you secretly have another kind of project in mind, contact me and I will hook you up! Unless you really are going to put a used, stock clutch diaphragm spring in your friend's clutch pac:doh:) Earl
RandyR Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 What is the problem you are trying to solve? What changes were made besides the stronger spring? was the 1/2 plate replaced with a full plate as many do? If so and you want a bit more of a slip zone, then going back to a 1/2 plate may be the answer.
wes0778 Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 What is the problem you are trying to solve? :sign yeah that: Since I put the upgrade in mine I haven't noticed any difference in the clutch lever pull. I have noticed that the clutch engages a little more aggressively, which (IMHO) I like. And yeah, why would he want to install someone's problem in his bike?
P-roy Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 I don't have one laying around, but am looking to do an upgrade as a preventative measure. I started pulling a trailer this year and thought a clutch upgrade would be a good idea. At this time I am NOT noticing any problems with the stock clutch. But I would be willing to make a swap, my stock for the upgrade provided there are no known issued with the upgrade you are looking to remove. Let me know.
TARHEEL RIDER Posted October 9, 2011 Author Posted October 9, 2011 he is not having any problems, he just doesn't like the feel of the heavier pull. I did tell him about SKYDOC'S upgrade. I think he just wants more of a stock feel. He has ridden my 09 and likes it.
