Same way! I can be told over and over, but sometimes seeing it done makes all the difference. Hope it helps out! Stay safe brother!

Thanks. Riding season is pretty much here. You ride safe also.

No problem! Thanks for watching! Hope it can help a few people out. Stay safe brother!

Awesome! Glad the video was able to help. You won't be disappointed with the upgrade to your clutch either. Thanks for watching and commenting brother. Stay safe out there!

Thanks for watching freeezzzz!!

Awesome tip! I was lucky enough to not scrape mine up, but definitely something I'll put in the description, I'll give you some credit for the tip also. Definitely a great mod for these bikes. If this is your first Warrior, you'll fall in love. They're awesome bikes, and the people who ride them are just as great. Welcome to the family, and if you're not on the forum yet, get on it. Thanks again for the tip, stay safe out there brother!

@@RSWarriorBryan I'm Bummer on the forum. Just joined a couple of days ago. I've learned a lot already. Not much posting yet, but a lot of reading. Rubber side down, my friend.

You can also buy a gasket removal disc for your drill that is designed for aluminum. It’s a 3M product. We use them on aluminum heads all the time at work.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks! Definitely a shout out to Rudy! Couldn't have done it without his write up.

Definitely a great mod to do. Whether you're just doing the pressure plate conversions or the two or three plate mod, you won't regret it. Keep me posted on how it goes!

Thanks for watching Jose! Stay safe brother!

Hey, thanks for watching. Actually about to put out a video today or tomorrow about this. I'm not recommending the red springs any longer. There was a problem with someone and it broke their bearings in the pressure plate. Could have caused some real damage, but luckily the guy was okay. He contacted Barnett and they are saying the red springs are not made for our clutch conversion kits, and that they are not going to warranty his plate. We are waiting right now for more information to come through about it all, but if you do decide to upgrade to the red, I'd also upgrade the bearings. I'll definitely let you know more about it all in the video. Thanks again for watching and commenting. Stay safe brother!

@@RSWarriorBryan That's very unfortunate they aren't going to warranty his clutch plate. Glad he didn't get hurt. My concern with my clutch setup is that the more miles I put on it, the chances of it slipping increases. I only have a few thousand on everything, but with the power I'm making, I know it won't hold forever.

Thanks! Hope it can help some people out!

Thanks for watching! Almost went that direction myself, but figured it would be a good video, and while I had it open, I'd get it done. Did you upgrade the springs or stick with the gold?

@@RSWarriorBryan I plan on doing this mod soon but going to send out my ECU out frist then this mod

@@RSWarriorBryan I stuck with the gold springs. It was about 5 years ago and everything has been perfect. Getting the old gasket off is the hardest part by far.

That's the order I did as well. Very happy with both mods. Now if I could just get the weather to cooperate.

Definitely! I bet I took close to 1-1.5 hours, and that was with the brake cleaner trick. Glad to know that five years in, the gold springs are still going strong. Almost went with green, but figured I'd try these to at least have a comparison.

Thanks for watching and commenting brother! Stay safe and healthy!

Thanks for watching, glad it was able to help. The wire is a throw away piece, so don't worry about reinstalling it. Just put the plates in and you're good. I will warn you, that last plate is really a pain to get out, but it will come out if you keep working at it.

RS Warrior Bryan you are the man!! Thanks again for the quick response I greatly appreciate it!

Definitely a great mod and you won't be disappointed. As for the spring, which one are you referring to? The clutch return spring, should be good and wouldn't need to be replaced. When doing this mod, you'll replace the diaphragm spring with could springs, so that spring will be replaced already. And the last one I can think of is the clip in the back that holds the last plate in for the three plate mod, and it ends up being trashed after the three plate mod, and if you're doing the 2 plate or just the conversion, you won't even see it at all. If none of those are the ones you meant, definitely get back with me and I'll try and reply sooner! Thanks for watching and commenting. Hope the video was able to help a little. Stay safe out there brother!

@@RSWarriorBryan it's the one that holds the last 2 plates in. I dodnt put it back in anyways lol. I haven't had any problems. I slammed 2md gear and broke the back tire loose. Couldn't do that before lol. Very aggressive mod.

Man, that sucks! I hope you found that out before you got it all apart so that at least you can still ride.

Hey brother, thanks for watching and commenting. Trying to understand the question, you want to know if you should do the 2 or 3 plate mod? The two plate will work just as good, but the three plate requires less pull back on the lever to disengage the clutch vs stock. Hope that answers your question. Stay safe out there!

@@RSWarriorBryan well in a way u did because I thought that the 3 plate mod was when it had a lot of mileage but now I understand what it is so I'm just going to go with the 2 plate mod and thanks for responding

Hey, thanks for subscribing! Definitely get a Warrior, you'll never regret it. Any year you can get, take it. I've owned two 02's, and depending on what you plan on doing with it, depends a little on what I'd recommend. There is very little difference between the model years. 02-04 had a transmission recall, but I'd figure most have already had that taken care of by now. They also changed the seats, I believe in 05. They went to a two up design that can be taken apart to only one up, where as the older ones are one solid seat. With the little difference between the years, it boils down to price. Of course an older one is going to be cheaper, but usually have a little more wear. Personally, I went for an 02 and used the extra cash to start sinking into it. No doubt you'll want to start upgrading it, if it isn't upgraded already. Between the years, you're not going to go wrong with any year you get. They're tough bikes and usually don't give many problems. Hope that helps a little, any other questions, definitely feel free to ask. Hope you get the bike! Stay safe brother!

Thanks for the reply,I do appreciate it

No problem! Thanks again for watching! Hope you get the bike and get a good deal!

Thanks for watching! A little confused, so I'll try and answer this the best I can. Seems like you bought the Barnett spring conversion kit, along with a full new set of clutches plates. The clutch plate pack will have the full and half friction plates in it, since it is just replacing the stock set. To do the 3 plate mod, you'd need to replace those half plates with full ones, but I don't think that's what you're asking. The Barnett pressure plate will come with the gold springs and washers. You can toss the stock bolts and washers and just use the gold springs, screws, and washers. Hope that was able to answer your question, and if not, definitely get back with me. Thanks again, and stay safe brother!

Hey, I'll take it! Thanks for watching the video and commenting. I hope it was able to help out!

James Woyton, I am not an expert, but I believe the adjustment screw is for lever placement (how far from the grip the lever stops). The new plates you put in are a little thicker than the ones replaced, so the clutch cable will have to be adjusted (relaxed) just a bit. The zone of engagement with the new plates (from just starting to engage, to locked) will be smaller and more consistent, allowing for a more comfortable lever position. I hope this helps. I have a 1999 RoadStar and replaced plates years ago and had this same situation.

Hey, I'm sorry I'm just seeing this. It almost sounds like your barnett plate isn't down all the way, or hopefully you got all the plates out. When the pressure plate is installed correctly, there should be no movement from any of the friction discs behind it. Plate should sink down and sit tight up against them. If you have no pull on the cable, I'd pull the case and check that first. Hope that helps get you squared away. Thanks for watching!

Mine is slipping from time to time and jumping only into 2nd. Did you get yours fixed and did it fix the problem?

@@alexsummerall9312 Its way better than it was before. It stil pops out of second into Neutral if Im all in it. Im assuming its the gear's themself) but the clutch mod made a huge difference. It was a great mod.

@@RSWarriorBryan It loosened up after I ran the bike for a few mintues not sure why. I ran the bike til it was hot and then was able to adjust the cable properly. havent had a problem since. This is a great mod thanks for the video has made ahuge difference in the ride.

Hey Mark, thanks for watching. A break in period usually isn't necessary, but I wouldn't go trying to pull it up on the back tire right away. Lol I didn't put it in the videos, but the new friction plates should be coated in oil before installing. You could even let them soak for about an hour. Thanks again for watching, hope the video was able to help. Stay safe brother!

The three plate mod is going to be the same as the two plate mod, but will actually reduce the pull length and pressure needed to engage the clutch. Replacing the stock pressure plate with the barnett plate will require more pressure, especially if you upgrade the springs and that will help combat that a little. The two plate mod actually increases the holding strength of the clutch and gives it more grab. Hope that answers your questions, thanks for watching! Hope I can get a stage four myself someday! Stay safe brother!

I love the idea, but just don't think im interesting enough and wouldn't be able to keep the video going. Lol we will see though, maybe in the future I'll start it.

Did you ever find the fix to this issue?

I'm sure mine hasn't either! Hoping to get a wide tire kit next winter and do it all then.

Do not tighten the plate beyond the torque spec. The bolts will snap. Is there freeplay in the friction plates with the pressure plate on? If the plate isn't set all the way down, the plates will still move up and down on the basket.

Theres alot of free play with cable at full setting

Sometimes the cable holder at the case gets twisted when reinstalling the cover. Is there still tension on the clutch at the case? Have you checked that the clutch holder at the case is adjusted correctly as well? You should measure right at about an inch and a quarter between the two cable holders at the case. Remove the spring to be sure to get a good measurement. If needed you can remove the screw and bump the lever on the case a couple of teeth over to achieve the right measurement. Hopefully thah helps, if not get back with me and we will try and get this figured out. You can send me an email at bjmcmeekin1@gmail.com

Haha. Took a little more than twenty minutes, especially with moving the camera and everything. Biggest pain was the gasket though. Everything else was pretty straight forward. And they had to keep it that long. If they gave it back that day, you'd realize it wasn't worth the 650!

@@RSWarriorBryan why was the gasket so hard? Because it was stuck on and you had to scrape it off?

Yeah. Lol that was the worst particular of the whole job.

@@RSWarriorBryan just making sure, im learning how to do all these repairs from your video's alone! And by the way..it was a mom & pop type of motorcycle shop, i paid them in full up front and what they did was spent the money and waited for more work to come in to buy my parts. I will never use them anymore and also i will never pay up front until the jobs done. I forgot how those small shops always borrow from Paul to pay Peter.

Man, gotta love people like that. Bike sits for three weeks waiting for it to even get parts and meanwhile they have every excuse in the book. We'll get you there brother! YOU'LL be making these how to videos before long for us.

Hey brother, thanks for watching and commenting. As for the friction plates, you can just replace the stock pressure plate and diaphragm spring with the Barnett conversion and six coil springs. It will still provide more pressure to the plates and help to stop the slipping of the clutch. It's not a horrible job, so when you get the other plates, you can pull the case and do the 2 or 3 plate mod of you decide. Hope that helps out brother!

@@RSWarriorBryan thanks bro and thanks for responding so quick that's what's up and koo I did order the other 2 plates all ready I can't go back now I ordered the red springs and like u say might as well if ur in there all ready do the 3 plate mod and like how I use my warrior every day it sucks when I hit that throttle as im passing a car and it doesn't respond worst feeling ever that's why I need to at least change the clutch conversion kit till I get the other parts but would I need to purchase another gasket or that one will still work and thanks again

Definitely will help out and make a difference. Don't think you'll be disappointed in the least. As for the gasket, I've heard of people using the same one three times before having tk replace it. As long as it looks in good shape and you will probably be okay to reuse it. Such a pain to clean off, I'd probably at least try it and see if a leak appears. If one does, nothing to pop off the case and replace a gasket.

@@RSWarriorBryan thanks for the help and video and for responding so quick well I did the 3 plate mod and wow it really made a difference, its now been 3 months and still going and now and once again thanks for the video and know I have a question if u have time, well all of the sudden my turn signal lights stopped working and checked the turn signal switch and it looks fine so went to the light bulbs and they look fine so now i honestly don't know what to do next or what to check is there any tips u can help me out with I would really appreciate it and thanks once more I hope u could help me out on this issue

Sorry about that! I missed putting the cover back on as well. After editing it all up, there are just certain things that slip my mind as being useful and needed. The major thing is to be sure to use inch pounds. The bolts can snap pretty easily of over torqued. Hope the rest of the video was able to help out. Thanks for watching and letting me know that people would like to see certain stuff like that. Hope you and yours are staying safe and healthy out there!

Yea don’t get me wrong I’m much more confident after this video just thanks for the help

Like every single plate?

Sorry! I didn't think anyone wanted tk watch me torque them down. Have been trying to get videos shorter and more to the point. Hope the rest of the video was able to help walk you through it. Just make sure to torque them to 70 inch pounds, not foot, and you'll be set. They will shear off if you tighten too much, so be sure to use a torque wrench. Thanks for watching and, stay safe!
