Yesterday I installed a Barnett Extra plate kit (307-30-10013), after I buttoned her up and following their directions for setting and adjusting the clutch drag was such a bear. After five or six failed attempts to adjust it I called Barnett and the technician I spoke to said to remove the Damper Spring and the damper dished spring even though their kit called for it to be reused.
If I go in and remove the damper spring and the dished spring, will running that smaller diameter plate with out the two internal springs cause any problems.
Has this solved the same problem for other members?
Thanks in advance!!

with your kit (307-30-10013) were all the friction discs (10) the same size? Thanks.
Running that smaller friction can be done, however I recently did the opposite of you. I've run the Energy One extra plate without the judder (dished) spring and seat for the last 2 years but didn't like the lack of friction zone so I installed the larger id friction and the spring and seat and like how that works. The gentleman at E1 recommended backing off the adjuster screw only a 1/4 turn from lightly seated which gave me the clutch feel I wanted.
By any chance did you have the spring in backwards? So easily done.
I know that this is an old thread but it's all I could find that is similar to my situation. I recently did the Barnett's Kevlar Extra Plate Kit and the Barnett Clutch Spring Conversion Kit, I love the performance but hate the lack of friction zone. The bike doesn't start to move until the clutch lever is almost all the way out where the stock clutch would start crabbing about a 1/2" off the grip. My question to you is this, did you put the spring and seat in first or did you put in that first friction, then the spring and seat and then follow with a steel and then alternate from there? I appreciate any info you can give me.
