Yes, the other day it happened. In 4th gear, going up a long hill, I gave it gas, and the RPM's started screaming with no acceleration.
I need a new clutch. I need stiffer clutch springs. I don't see any good to come out of removing two of the pressure plate springs! Unless you like your clutch real soft and mushy. I'd rather have it tight like a virgin and able to grab in a snap instant.
Different strokes!

I'm close to ordering the EBC clutch kit that comes with the springs. I talked to a vendor and he said the springs are stiffer than stock.. I'm probably going to get that one, I'll report back about it when it comes in.

Mr. maninthesea,
Mr. maninthesea,
I see you avid fisherman and smart consumer.
I just produce amazing new line of High Definition rods, reels, spinner lures, spearguns and spears. Guarantee increase number and size fish you catch or refund 100% of your money (less Shipping, Handling, Import/Export Taxes, Bribes).
But wait, even better. Since you a KLX forum member, order TODAY and I include lifetime supply of Sham-Wow's (as seen on TV and YouTube) absolutely free. That alone over $500 value, no cost to you! What a deal, how can you not order!

Cool! If you pull the trigger, I'll definitely follow the report thread. Hopefully EBC doesn't source their springs from the same place Barnett does. The Barnett springs like to break, and you find pieces of them in the bottom of the case
. There's a detailed report on Dan's KLXforum.I didn't know that EBC made a clutch kit for our bike. It's nice to know there's an alternative.

waaaat. No, I like it tight meaning that if I have the lever pulled in and the clutch is disengaged, I want like a half a centimeter of release before the clutch is fully engaged.
So what I'm saying is four springs will be too soft and mushy for me. I'd like my full six please, and make them tight.
