Clutch slipping under load

[TPEHAK]

You cannot blame people if they do best they can do. I'm sure Erik did his best, he just did not have enough experience to do it better.

Maybe, but Erick writes in English that is coherent !

I'm wondering if Erik maintains and fixes his motorcycles by his own. If he let do it someone else it explains why Buell motorcycles are so unreliable.

Wat¿

You know Buell uses Harley based architecture of a motor right? It’s been tried and proven as a design.. I don’t exactly think it’s the best design of a engine but they work and work for many miles. Why are you such a troll on this site? As a “engineer” or whatever you think you are, you out of everyone should understand the pit falls of making a bike from the ground up..

But you don’t get it..

Your bike is a oil burning clutch smoking pile.. mine has no issues at all and runs perfect.. so it sounds like your bike has problems or you might not know how to ride it without breaking stuff.. I don’t know

I learned how to ride motorcycle on 2 days Motorcycle Safety Course.

I know you guys are afraid to do anything other than manual says, so stay tuned,

that's rich coming from you TEABAG. how many times thru the years have you trolled me and my responses stating "manual doesn't say that" or "not according to the manual". don't bother researching your own posts to verify or argue which is what you thrive upon. i can assure you it's been a ton.

Am i the only one who ever reads a TbAg thread and then immediately chastises them self for wasting precious time? Holy crap.

I also have Barnett 502-00-01081 clutch spring which is slightly stiffer than original Buell clutch spring (360 LBS vs 320 LBS stock spring) but I decided to install it with original Buell clutch plates later when the Barnett clutch plates will be worn again. I hope stiffer spring in conjunction with original Buell clutch plates will provide more slipless miles.

Finally I have tested the clutch. Wow, the new clutch plates are so grippy, no slipping at all at full throttle. So, if your clutch slips and adjusting the clutch does not help, just replace the clutch plates. Do not use Barnett clutch plates, use original Buell clutch plates if you can find it, it will last longer and it is probably cheaper than Barnett. Probably Barnett is good for racing application but not for daily city riding.

on 5-20 you posted this and i quote: "Alright, the new Barnett clutch has been installer so motorcycle should be good to go another 11000 miles. Will see how it will work."

and now your stating "do NOT use Barnett clutch plates."

which begs the question: are you completely ****ing insane? or just partially?

 

[TPEHAK]

I already had the new Barnett clutch plates on my hands before I found they are not going to last long enough. And since I had it already I had to use it. And I have to open the primary case soon anyway to see the clutch basket starter ring gear condition. So in 11000 miles I will kill two birds with one stone, I will replace the Barnett clutch plates, and will inspect and probably replace the clutch basket.

But if you are looking for clutch, do not buy Barnett if you can find something else except you are OK to spend more money and replace clutch plates each second oil change.

I installed the new spring but I feel no difference in lever resistance force, the force is the same as it was before. I'm sure I can install the old spring and it will work the same.

By the way, I reused the primary cover gaskets. Those gaskets have maybe 4 or 5 installations on them already ant still no leak. I also reused the shifter seal, it has 2nd installation on it. Manual says to replace all those gaskets, but I decided to take the risk and see if they will work with multiple reusages. I know you guys are afraid to do anything other than manual says, so stay tuned, I will report back to you how they perform when I will have more miles on them.

Put some miles on the old gaskets. No leaks so far as expected. So primary case gaskets can be reused at least 4-5 times. And the gear shift shaft gasket can be reused at least once.
