Clutch

[Robby]

Clutch has always been grabby and rough, I've had 8 of these bikes and this first one rough like this.

Gets worse the hotter it is, so, can replace with Yamaha parts or Barnett spring conversion kit and plates.

Barnett less money and seem recommended but I have no knowledge of them. Please jump in!

First order of business is to replace the clutch fluid. If it is old, it will contain water and act funny.

 

If you are going to change out the clutch, +1 on the Barnett spring upgrade.

I agree with divey, skydoc 17 has and excellent clutch replacement solution. That was one of the first changes I made to my 2005 RSTD and i could not be happier with the performance of the clutch now. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?127095-A-Big-Thank-You-to-skydoc_17-and-Freebird
