I can't remember the brand but ask around, there are aftermarket plates that quiet down the dry clutch rattle to a respectable level. I guess they are machined to tighter tolerances. Gives you the awesome tambourine sound but not so much John Deere tractor sound at idle.

 

Barnett makes a basket with steel inserts to prolong the life of the basket and tabs on the clutch plates.

If you go after market, you'll get a lighter set up.

 

yep, as ducnutz said, use the barnet housing but OEM plates, never use barnett plates, they suck.

 

Hi devimau
How is your arm after last season?

 

I've never used barnetts, but I've read that they're good plates, I plan to use them when the time comes.

 

Listen to Devimau.
Barnett plates suck!
Every bike I've put them in from old BSA's to modern Aprilias try to creep with the clutch disengaged.

 

i just put one on today and the old worn out clutch has better grip than the new one did i do something wrong? the stack heights are diff also, old is 40. ish and the new one is 38 or 39 makes no sense?

 

Anyone have experience with 48T clutch setups vs 12T? EVR makes a 48T basket and clutch pack:

48T seems like a good idea in theory, but does anyone have experience with the EVR or similar 48T non-slipper clutches?

 

I fitted an MPL basket with stock plates at about 30,000 kms (18,000 mi). It was quieter than the (new) stock set-up due to a tighter tolerance on the slots in the basket.
25,000 kms on it still works fine - better than the OEM did at this mileage.

 

MPL make Premium Quality parts!! After having many of their excellent components I intend to fit an MPL slipper to my track bike soon.

 

A shallower stack height means there is less applied pressure from the springs to clamp the plates together. Did you install the same number of plates you removed in the same order?
