Default Clutch replacement

Ive been reading a lot of info from previous posts on clutches and from what I gather the EBC kit and Barnett springs are the way to go. Are the kx125 better and is it available in a kit with friction plates and steel plates that work with the 09 KLX 250s

Ive gone 351 and notice a little bit of slippage now when im really hard on it, exactly when I need it to grab.

Will this work? Springs
Clutch Clutch

I plan on changing oil and filter, should I get a clutch cover gasket too? or are those reusable? if I need one any suggestions on where to get one online.

Thanks guys.

I did the EBC dirt racer and Barnett springs with my 351 kit. No slip that I can notice, and the springs make the clutch lever pull just a little stiffer. Get the gasket in case...you may not need it in the end. Don't know what to tell you about KX125.

The info I read about the kx125 clutch plates came from planet klx. I've never had the chance to try them out as the ebc kit/barnett springs was sufficient.

The one oem klx250 clutch plate utilizes a 'judder' spring, the fibre plate has about half the surface area of the others. It is also installed offset to the others. I'd bet the kx plates don't require a judder spring.
