Where to get aftermarket rvf400 clutch

Post by doodleface » Sun Oct 28, 2012 10:30 am

I'm looking for a Barnett or EPC (or similiar) clutch (corks and steels) kit for an RVF.
VFR's are a different steel thickness, sadly they are not a compatible item.
Anyone know where I can source on from?
Thanks?

Rick Oliver supplied me with a EBC Street Racer clutch fibre plates(carbon/kevlar), uprated springs and new steel plates. It's been working a treat since then.

With the new clutch installed, are you able to find neutral easily at a stop?

Should be able to. Mine decided to be a total bastard to get into neutral after I'd had it a year or so, although I put up with it until the clutch started slipping later on. 2nd, 1st, 2nd, 1st, 2nd, 1st, aaargh! Switch off and neutral comes up first try. Had new plates put in, and it cleared up immediately, even though the slipping came back and was eventually cured by new springs and various parts of a second complete clutch being used to make one decent one from two. I was never told what was actually worn out in the original, so I'm not sure exactly what the issue was. The old plates were worn, but not to the limit.
