Helping a buddy with his 2002 883 sporty with 1200 kit and buell heads. Ever since the build he keeps burning up the clutch. Origional clutch was OEM of course, then Barnetts since (4 or 5 in last 2 years). Last clutch lasted about 3800 miles. We replaced it just prior to leaving for Sturgis (3100 mile round trip).
Yes he runs the piss out of it. Yes he does an occasional burnout (only 1 or 2 a week though). We were busting his balls on the way to sturgis due to the frequent fuel stops costing us time. This resulted in him leading the next 52 miles at a 85-90 mph clip.
No chance his riding style will change any. Therefore, any options out there for a clutch that might last a bit longer under these conditions?
Replaced stock spring with SE unit last clutch along with new cable. Any thoughts on the Barnett "extra plate" kit? Any thoughts on OEM clutch being any better than aftermarket?
