    Considering I'm looking at a clutch service soon I'm keen to hear from others on this too. A set of fibre friction plates for Scarlet seems to range from $20 + postage up to about $100.

    Is there any major difference between the types and if not, is it worth paying the increased price?

    Edit: Just realised this was a Yamaha thread. The question still applies though!

    I went OEM thru partzilla for the 750. Worked out half the price if OEM thru a dealer.

    I have used the Barrett (US brand) in two of my bikes with excellent results. The springs make it a little heavier at the lever but not too much, and they don't seem to be sticking together after sitting for a while.

    These could be a goer as I have to get a bundle of sprockets from them anyway .....

    I presume I should replace the springs as a matter of course?

    For clutch springs GI, I would get some. I think slipstream does ferodo ones for around $20. Worth having even if not needed, then when you get some clutch slip you can throw the new springs in to extend the life a little bit.

    I have a Barnett clutch pack fitted in my bike ( Kevlar friction plates / steel plates / compression spring's ).
    My O.E friction plates where falling apart though , so needed to fit a new kit anyway , but was very impressed by the feel of clutch lever with the new Barnett clutch pack.
    These are the agent's for Barnett gear , just in case you'd want to inquire , good people to deal with.

    Thanks guys.
    The only EBC kit seems to only be available is the SRK034. Says 1987 FZR250. does the 2kr have the same clutch as the 3ln?
