wondering if the barnett kit is better than ebc kit for a klx351?
I know the ebc springs arent as strong wondering if its better to have ebc plates and barnett springs or just go with complete barnett kit.Or maybe a kevlar clutch kit for a klx300r seen those on the net somewhere.
thx

 

stro:
the guys here recommended the EBC dirtracer kit and barnett springs to me. I'll be interested to hear what they say about a full barnett kit.

 

yes I was wondering if the ebc plates are better than barnett as I havnt seen anyone review/use them,just thought it would be cheaper to get the good springs and use their plates.

 

When I first installed the big bore kit the stock plates & springs were working fine. Looking back if I had replaced the springs I think it would have been fine. The stock plates were up to the task, its the springs that eventually faded.... the slipage is what caused the plates to become glazed and needing replacement. I changed the oil/filter frequently

 

something to consider,if my plates look good I might try just springs.
thx

 

maybe take the micrometer to them. Mine "looked" good to the eye, but were out of tolerance for spec, not quite to service limit. I probably could have got some more miles out of them.

 

Any time I did a big bore on a street bike, I would always put the heavier springs in it. Usually used stock plates, but there's nothing wrong with aftermarket for the most part.
