My Max is pretty new to me and I'm looking into my options for a clutch upgrade. Here is what I'm thinking my options are. Please correct if I'm wrong or add if I'm missing anything.
Double D: Basically you remove the half friction plate, wire retainer, clutch boss and you install a full size friction plate in place of all the above. You buy another clutch spring from Yamaha(diaphram style disc) and stack it on top of the existing one. Reassemble per directions found at Lvlhead or vmax outlaw.
Barnett: This is a kit that comes with a new pressure plate and coil springs. The original clutch spring (diaphram style) gets discarded. You can also remove the half friction plate,etc at this time.
PCW: Same as Double D but you can install the PCW brand diaphram style clutch spring in place of the stock spring. Give you a lever pull that is somewhere between stock and the double D. Or you can install the PCW spring and keep the stock one and your lever pull will be harder than the DD mod.
Strongest Clutch:
1. PCW mod with both springs
2. Double D
3. PCW with only one spring
4. Barnett
5. Stock
If I want to do a DD mod All I need to buy is the gasket, an additional spring and additional fiber?
PCW mod is the same but I buy their spring instead
Barnett is the most expensive
