G'day all I've fried my clutch (04 Busa) and was hoping for some advice on a new one do I go for a standard or go Barnett and I've seen two different Barnett clutches not sure what the differences is. I do drag and stunt (well try too) my bike and it's had a hard life it's pushing 50,000km some advice would be greatly appreciated and should I try fitting it myself or take it to the shop I do all my own services ie oil and filters brakes I've changed chain an sprockets is a clutch too complicated to attempt.

2nd the std clutch plate comments, also remove your sump and clean your oil pickup ,
if you have filled the motor with clutch particals thats where they end up
could cost a crank if you have a restricted pickup .

3rd for std clutch plates , dont use barnett i have seen the linings fall off & block the oil pickup & kill the engine , some other aftermarket are ok but genuine are best .

I've fitted my own clutch and was surprised how easy it was, and I am no mechanic.
Save yourself the labour cost.
Carpe Diem!
