Need a clutch that will handle 150-200hp

[ninety4point6]

I'm going to be building a draw through turbo system for my bike within the next couple months and I know the stock clutch won't handle it.

I don't know to much about motorcycle clutches because I am coming from the car world.

The bike will be mainly used for drag racing and quick blasts on the street.

Thanks for the help.

Barnett is the only one out there still making 'performance' clutch parts for these, so you should contact their tech dept and see what they say. But I doubt if it's rated to that HP level...

Might have to adapt one from a Vmax or 'Busa that makes that HP stock.

I had nitrous oxide injection on an XS1100 and it was 190bhp on a rolling road. I found the clutch slipped when the nitrous kicked in but 10% stronger springs was all I did. I used the complete OEM clutch and just used the beefier springs. It never once slipped after that. I ran the nitrous for over a year on 'normal' road use (not racetrack) and never had any problems at all! While I was in there I replaced the release bearing too.

I'll check them out. Thanks.

I'll look into what that entails. I know how to work a mill and a lathe so I might be able to adapt something like that.

This is encouraging. Do you have a link to the springs that you used?

Thanks.

I found some EBC springs that are 10% stiffer than stock.

Are the barnett springs better/stiffer?

They were just generic springs... EBC I think. Nothing special but 10% stiffer.

Cool, thanks.

How much were you spraying on your bike?

Ebc springs work, but they measure out at just at or actually below factory spec for free length.

Barnett for just a couple bucks more are WAY better springs.

you can also put washers behind the clutch springs
to stiffen the clutch up, itll give u a stiffer lever
but works well.

Alright cool, thanks for the advice.

I'll look into that. Thanks.

Stifff lever isn't a huge deal for me. All I really do is warm up the bike, go beat on it, and put it away. Usually only do quick rides to attempt to stay outta trouble.

I wouldn't use the EBCs if I were you. From what I've heard they don't have near the longevity of the Barnetts.

I have Barnetts in both bikes and no complaints.

Alright sounds good. The Barnett springs it is then.

Any other opinions?

Thanks.
