You want OEM plates and fibers with aftermarket heavy duty springs, this will be more durable than the Barnett.

No you dont,but if you are using (or plan on using) a hydrolic clutch you will need a 1 mm shim to place somewhere i think it is on the clutch thingy,i am not so sure with the Sparks 8 plate cluthc

The Gt thunder and sparks are like the sam kit basically

OEM is the best in my opinion. Unless you go all out and buy a 8 plate with hinson basket and the works. I have always ran OEM fibers and steels, they seem to last the longest.

I had a barnett in my modded banshee and never had a problem at all. Always started in second gear too, and usually just dumped it and it never even hinted at slipping.

With a Sparks kit you don't need the hinson basket. But you need to specify if you are going to put it in a stock basket or hinson basket.

They have 2-8 plate clutch kits; one that allows you to put it in your stock basket, and another an 8 plate kit for the hinson basket.

no use in bashing a barnett because your problems most likey came fron wrong installation or a badleyt adjusted clutch cable haha


i love my barnet...tough

Barnett clutches are good clutches. If you burn up a Barnett clutch in a couple rides then it is most likely an installation or oil error.

Boy, you know if you had to pay for it, you'd be running the Tusk kit for $37! :devil: :devil:

Here, I'll do the math for ya:

Paying full price for big $$ clutch + buying a boat load of diapers and formula = Tusk :blah:

I did lots of planning. The quad is the way it is right now, ready to race with top notch products in it, because I knew little poopy pants was coming and my money is pretty much gone at that point.
