Need a new complete clutch with springs for a GSXR 600 K8. Any recommendations? Bought a EBC heavy duty clutch last time and the springs bound up so I only used the friction plates.
Thanks
Steve

Steve , use standard Suzuki parts with some Barnett springs. Once we used the Barnett springs we didnt touch a clutch again on Phils 1000 motors.

Re: GSXR600 K8 Clutch
I bought a Barnett racing kit for an RZ350 once (after stock clutch started to slip). WIth all the Barnett springs installed it required two hands to squeeze the lever (and I have way above average hand strength). Ended up running half Barnett springs and half stock with no further issues.

Re: GSXR600 K8 Clutch
Geoff, Chris,
Many thanks for your quick response. Getting the standard clutch is easy, ebay etc. I can see Barnett springs for a K8 but they are from America. Can you recommend anyone in the UK?

Hi
we use standart for years. no problem. Put the full clutch package in engine oil for 2 hours or more before putting them in the engine and using them.

Re: GSXR600 K8 Clutch
T.T.S. Steve. Barnett springs in Suzuki shouldn't make it heavier. They arent that much different to standard but make a difference.
