1/8mi drag race Touring vs the GT

Clutch pack toasted, black blue red 😎, nothing broke maybe a little warped like warpo but not broke, one steel has a definite rub thang going on. The oiling issue i think was the angle of engine, sump could not fill tank, gonna raise up the front some and try again. I wish i could drop the rear but i dont have any other shocks right now. New clutch pack going in, new oil and coolant, make a height adjustment on front end, a spring adjustment on rear and send it Saturday. 11.2 @124mph is this weeks goal. Thats unadjusted time for D/A. @Nashvegas im not gonna be easy to run down 😁😎😂

Do you like these Suzuki clutch parts better than the Barnette, and is this made for the Hayabusa. I remember R-III-R TURBO having clutch slipping problems, and he tested springs from Triumph, Barnette and Carpenter. Carpenter was best, Barnette next, and factory was the weakest. He went with Carpenter's.

I use the red harley vrod drag bike springs. There is definitely no slippage ever😁. Zero smearing on fibers or plates , the red springs lock it down. These were referred by our engine man down under. Im ok with the suzuki stuff, ive run them before, the oem and barnett are also real good. Carpenter springs come from ape.

Does the Suzuki kit fit exactly like the OEM parts? The Suzuki kit looks more robust as it seems to have more pad friction area than Barnett, and has dimpled steels which Barnett does not have. Not sure what purpose the dimples have, but almost all manufacturers use them.
Has anyone had any problems using Suzuki clutch kit?

Its what carpenter puts in there builds, if you buy pads from Bob they will be in suzuki oem plastic, there are pictures on this site of them. Ive use 2 sets this is third in bike never a problem, stack is same, free play on pull rod exactly the same. I like them. Not the oem suzuki springs. The suzuki kit i get is the ones for like 02-08. These numbers on fibers and steels match what carpenter has used and sold to our rocketeers. Confirmation of what i said above from a very trusted source😁 attached.
