I have 91 lt 250 and have a ebc clutch which I increased the power of the quad now it seems to be slipping. Runs great on grass but slips on pavement. Is the Kevlar clutch the way to go. I was thinking of Barnett kevlar. So please chime in

Barnett dirt digger with the 85-86 springs.

Look at your basket, the fingers might be worn. If there not to bad you can file them down flat. If there bad get a billet basket. The grooves in the basket fingers can make them slip.

My 250 has a stock. Clutch and heavy 85 springs my 500 has a Barnett with yz 250 springs. Neither have ever slipped. Unless they were worn out.

The Barnett is awesome in the ole 86. It lasted and did it take a fricken beating. Wow.

LT250RWV · « **Reply #7 on:** August 19, 2013, 08:57:25 pm »

Clutch is pretty old. I cant find the 6 th spring everyone on ebay is selling 5 of the 85 86 springs

I,ve used DirtDigger on all my stuff.No issues at all.The billet baskets really are the way to go if you need to replace it.I,m running a PE basket and barnett kevlar.

Just call Barnett and ask them for a six sprin pack of that part number. That's what I did.

Which springs you using rainman

Using the springs that come in the Barnett kit.Stiff enough and it takes a beating from hard running MX to 2nd gear launches off the line.

I have one engine with an EBC dirt digger and the HD springs. I also have a TUSK clutch with the HD springs. I like both of them.

What is the difference in 85-86 springs? I would like to understand what makes them sought after instead of just putting them in because I have read it on here.

LT250RWV · « **Reply #13 on:** August 24, 2013, 05:38:40 pm »

they are stiffer 85 86 Springs but I really thought about using the ones that came with the Barnett they felt stiffer then the 85 86 springs did.

Crash_Lander · « **Reply #14 on:** August 24, 2013, 05:52:04 pm »

I see I see. Ive always liked the HD springs myself but I havent tried any others.

LT250RWV · « **Reply #15 on:** August 24, 2013, 06:00:01 pm »

Well if the 85 86 springs are good enough for a zilla they should work good in a 250

Crash_Lander · « **Reply #16 on:** August 24, 2013, 06:04:17 pm »

Ill just stick with my HD springs but thanks for the info.

LT250RWV · « **Reply #17 on:** August 24, 2013, 06:08:06 pm »

the ebC clutch springs that were heavy duty in your dirt digger pack are a copy of 85 86 spring I compared them this evening when I took me ebc clutch out to put in the barnett at kevlar dirt digger

Is there a different between using Banshee clutch springs and 85-86 LT springs?

LT250RWV · « **Reply #19 on:** August 25, 2013, 07:03:18 am »

I dont know but I have heard of other guys running the banshee springs.

Motoman991 · « **Reply #20 on:** August 25, 2013, 07:12:54 am »

I run Banshee springs, that's why I ask.

LT250RWV · « **Reply #21 on:** August 25, 2013, 07:33:26 am »

I heard they work well to how do you like them yourself. This will be good info for others later. Banshee spring 85 86 quadracer springs and yz 250 springs have been used so far.
