Clutch Springs

[Bad Ass Honda 250r]

are the 450r springs any harder to compres than the 250r springs??? what about like CR 500 springs??? i just need some really hard springs for my 250r because my clutch is sliping...

How old are the springs that you're running? The springs lose their elasticity over time and don't rebound to their intended length. The stock springs compress after time. There is a service limit you can reference in the service manual. New TRX springs will make a difference.

Anyway, you can start there. Otherwise, Barnett springs are stiff like crazy. I swithced to a hydrolic clutch lever for those springs (that's just me though). CR500 springs are stiff, but shorter than the TRX. You have to run a washer underneath them to get them to length. I haven't heard anything about 450 springs.

i run the tusk springs and plates in my banshee and they grab awesome,all 6 are stiff but grab real nice, are you sure its not time for new plates for your R?

just put new plates in.. maybe i just need to get a cool head to help keep the top end cool so that it does not transfer down into the cases... do the stock 250r clutches work that well??

did you break-in your new clutch? soke your new plates in oil?
