Where to buy a new clutch kit?

Well I think it is time to replace the clutch on my 81 XJ750R Seca. Where is the best (aka cheapest) place to get one? I am thinking of replacing the fiber disks and springs, if the metal disks are not too much more I will replace them too but otherwise I will hold off and hope mine are still good.

Denniskirk has the EBC Fibers and springs for $75 +$6 shipping, can anyone else beat that?

 

You'll get what you pay for.

Before you jump on the cheapest clutch you can find ... consider getting a better one backed-up in writing and proven to be able to handle everything you'll ever throw at it by testimonials of real knee-dragging guys who spend hours near red-line deliberately trying to destroy them!

YAMAHA BARNETT CLUTCH KIT 650 TURBO,XJ 550,650,750,900 Item number: 280034240014

 

Thanks, I saw that yesterday and will bid but with ebay I figure it is nice to have a backup plan :? .

That is why I want to shy away from the generic ones on ebay that are "made overseas" but then there is no brand given. I don't need the best quality clutch now as I am a cheap college student but I would like to get a few years out of it.

 

My EBC clutch plates and HD springs from the local dealer are working just fine, and totally eliminated the slip i used to get when boost came on. Now the rear tire breaks loose, not the clutch.

 

Used EBC plates on my clutch years ago (40K), still going....

 

Try: http://www.hvccycle.com/ for Good pricing and genuine service on EBC and Ferodo clutch disks. I got the Ferodo Well worth the $60 price. Just Ask Brad, he will oblige.
Barnett clutches are either hated or loved.. and reputedly the loved ones are in the minority You will ONLY need to replace the OEM steel plates if they are genuinely warped.. try them on a 'flat' surface.. Note the Oem steel plates are the V best you can get.. substitutes are not.

 

Yep ... I'm on my second set of Friction Pads in the Old 900 ... but, still running the Stock Drivers.

I really give the clutches hell, too. I push the 900 right to the limit a lot; and do some extreme engine braking when I'm out on Sunday playing Fighter Pilot atop the dog house. (Call sign: Snoopy)

Then, there are the moments when I do my own "Play-by-play" for imaginary race course outings. "Massey's in third place and is going to have to find the limit on this machine if he's going to make-up the second and a half behind the leader."

Northern New Hampshire highway clover-leafs have "A line" to hang-in too where the kids on plastic-wrappers play the same game ... but, much faster and a whole lot farther-over than this old man is willing to try.

Now I have NO clutch on the 900; because "Evie" got pissed at me for shelving her for the Max. She made the clutch cable break just when Fall Foliage is about to Peak.

I'm heading for a bicycle shop, Saturday ... for some new cable and I'm building me a new one.

Rock-on you Zany XJ-er's

It's starting to get real nippy, up here, near Boston. Indian Summer is this weekend, looks like ... and, I'm going on a leaf peeping ride!
