Just joined a couple of days ago, and this is my first attempt at a post. I have a question about Barnett clutches. Has anybody used the Barnett kit#306-25-40002 on a '90 750 sport.
If yes, how does it compare to the Surflex brand. Thanks

I've always thought that the the Surflex is higher quality than the Barnett in general. But I don't have a good basis for my bias.

Cheers, Phil

I have always used sureflex sintered plates ... real hard to beat

Has anyone bought any of the clutch kits from Stein-Dinse. I'm wondering what the differences are between whatever brands they have on the site. There seem to be about 4 different kits available for our earlier bikes, I've emailed asking for the details but they are a bit slow in replying and I want to move on one ASAP.

I see three kits for the 750S. Two are from Adige (Ad) and one is from Surflex (SF).
Don`t know what the difference between the two Adige kits is as according to their website there is only one kit. I`ve always used Adige, never Surflex.
I remember hearing that Adige was the original supplier for Ducati but I don`t know if that is fact.

I don't know anything about these two other brands. All I can tell you, is that I just installed a Barnett kit on my 1990 750 Sport and it's shifting very well. I bought the kit on eBay for $170 USD, including shipping. I was a little worried because the Barnett kit was so cheap competed to the Surflex $340USD.
I have only put about 30 miles on it, but so far so good. I can almost even find Neutral when I'm stopped
The Barnett kit comes with a few extra plates, because it's made for a six speed transmission. So I had to tinker with the stack height a bit, but I finally got it to work. If anybody is interested I can provide the sequence in which I installed the plates.
Sorry for the long post

Which clutch slave does the 1990 have as I do not see a kit on Barnetts Web site for the earlier clutch. The later friction plates will work but my understanding is the steel plates have a different tooth count. It also doesn't have the outer thick one sided steel plate.

I'm chasing a full replacement kit otherwise there are plenty of cheap friction only layer kits around.

Sorry I forgot to mention that I had to use my old outer thick one sided steel/friction plate. As far as the steel plate tooth count it's the same. When I called Barnett they did not list a kit for the older 750s. However kit#306-25-40002 fits a lot of Ducs. with dry clutches, like the 748, 750S, 851, 888, 900SS and so on. Because you need a full replacement set this would not be the best kit for you.
