Default Clutches

I need a little input on clutches, I just put a little more HP in my engine, now my clutch is slipping when I hit a high rpm.
Need to know what kind of clutches & springs to put in.

Are you sure you need a new clutch? Have you fully adjusted the clutch properly? If yer not runnin in excess of 100hp, then you really shouldn't need a new clutch. That is, IF yours isn't worn. There are a few threads on this subject, with good instructions on proper clutch adjustment. Might give that a shot first. Unless you just need something other than the extra hp you added to brag about...
(That wasn't a dig, many people buy simply for bragging rights.)

Yup, try a bigger spring in this case,if the adjustment does not work.Another thought, are you using synthetic oil in the primary?

+1 I'm over 100hp and updated the spring with satisfactory results (no slippage). Easy and cheap (like my first GF) fix for a street bike. If you're a regular at the track, well Barnetts....
