    Reccomendations on clutch kits?

    i have a 1979 gs750, my clutch is practically shot now, it seems to slip alot lately. i think its the original, 50,000 miles later. the cable is adjusted fine. its just worn. i was wondering if anybody reccomends any brands for friction plates and springs?

    EBC, Bartlett, Ape all make good clutch kits.

        I'm a chef, guess I was thinking of Bartlett Pear, my bad. Thanks for setting me straight Lynn.

            I've heard of folks not having much joy with the Barnett plates. For myself, I got a cheap (but new) set of Barnett friction plates last year off eBay, popped them in and they've been fine. They did drag a touch when the oil was cold, but switching to a semi-synthetic oil (from the 100% mineral oil I had been using) fixed that.

              I'm running Barnett friction plates, and a fresh set of stock Suzuki springs. Could'nt be happier with the performance, (and EASY clutch pull).
