    Barnett Spring Clutch replacement troubles

    Hello everyone! I am having some trouble fixing the slipping clutch on my 94 max. I purcahsed it from a guy for $1100 because it had trouble starting and needed "clutch lever adjusted." I fixed the starting issues with carb cleaning and new battery, and figured I would flush the clutch lever...

    Barnett clutch pack

    Just purchased my first VMAX this winter and have been loving it with the exception of a slight clutch slip in the top of 4th and 5th gears. I am planning on replacing with a Barnett clutch pack and full size last friction plate and with a pcw spring. This may be a silly question, but why does...

    Barnett Clutch spring washers

    I've installed the Barnett clutch on my 06 Vmax a few years ago and can't for the life of me recall if the washers provided with the six springs fit easily down the tubs of the purple clutch pressure plate. I'm installing the same kit onto my 2013 Royal Star Venture and the washers seem to not...

    Barnett Question

    Fellow Barnett spring pressure plate users, I installed the pressure plate, replaced the fibers and left the 1/2 disk in the rear. Took for a drive an all is good. One thing I did notice was that the clutch engages about 1/2 thru the lever travel...is this normal or am I in for another...

    Barnett spring conversion question

    Well I set about re-building the clutch on my '06, (the OEM one was TOAST) so I went with the Barnett spring conversion because I tried the Double D once and it rubbed on the inside of my clear UFO case cover. When I was doing the job and put the Barnett pressure plate on, I noticed it has...

    Barnett or Double D?

    Put new clutches in about 4 months ago and went with the barnett clutchesinstead of OEM , and they seemed to slip in 4th and 5th pretty bad under hard loads. Took them all out and skuffed up all the plates and that solved the problem. But I was going to go ahead and do something about the actual...

    easy barnett question

    I bought a Barnett clutch kit. (the purple one) The instructions are a single page showing that you removed the old one and bolt in the new one. Is it that easy? I haven't taken a Vmax clutch apart in 10 years and remember none of it.
