Author Message   Lazyme21 Posted on Wednesday, July 14, 2004 - 08:58 pm:        What type of clutch would you recommend for top performance?   Spyder12s Posted on Thursday, July 15, 2004 - 12:15 am:        thank you ..I have been thinking this as of late as well   420at145mph Posted on Thursday, July 15, 2004 - 12:44 am:        rivera makes an upgraded clutch for buells its in jpcycle catalog looks pretty damn beefy   1320 Posted on Thursday, July 15, 2004 - 08:07 am:        I have used the Rivera Pro 1300XL with good success since it came out in 01. Barnett Scorpion is said to be a good clutch. You did however say TOP PERFORMANCE and the King of the Hill by far would be a Bandit unit...it is also King of the $$$$..but you would never need another clutch no matter HOW much performance you added to your machine   Lazyme21 Posted on Thursday, July 15, 2004 - 09:01 am:        It does not have to be top performance, but something that is better then the stock clutch. Do they make clutch kits for the XB's   Spyder12s Posted on Thursday, July 15, 2004 - 02:58 pm:        Barnett does say that there kit fits the XB ..   Reepicheep Posted on Thursday, July 15, 2004 - 09:01 pm:        Lazy... Your profile shows a pretty new bike, and the stock clutches are pretty damn tough. What are your symptoms? A lot of the drag racers have tried different clutches, only to shred them and go back to the factory part.   420at145mph Posted on Thursday, July 15, 2004 - 10:03 pm:        my stock clutch handeld a whole season last year of learning wheelies the wrong way rev it up n dumpin the clutch sounds friggin AWFUL when ya do it ive since learned to wheelie in first and second with no clutch but mine is still holdin up strong   Lazyme21 Posted on Thursday, July 15, 2004 - 11:34 pm:        I am going to get the stock friction plates from Dave. My bike was a rental at HD for a little bit and who knows what people did on it. I am slowly replacing things on it and no matter what adjustments I do to the clutch it still catches way out. A little push of 1/6 the way in and the clutch is disengaged.   Reepicheep Posted on Friday, July 16, 2004 - 10:04 am:        Does it slip? I rode an XB9R demo that was like that, I kind of preferred it. My Cyclone is the opposite. One of those "low effort" adjustable levers might help, they probably increase the swept area at the initial point of lever pull.   Lazyme21 Posted on Friday, July 16, 2004 - 10:06 am:        it will help where the clutch catches in the grip but it does not fix the problem with the clutch itself. I think there is an actual problem in there. I am ordering new friction plates and having the clutch rebuilt.
