Clutch spring replacement, designer?

[Swilsonp51]

Hey y’all I have a 99 vs800 I’m wondering if those springs from designer? Will work on the vs800, mine is slipping real bad all gears and how do I get a hold of him/her

He will be by shortly.

Designer does not supply clutch springs for the smaller Intruders.
The best springs you can get for these models are Barnett's part No.501-87-04-009. When replacing the oil, do not use any fancy overpriced crap, just basic detergent oil viscosity to suit your ambient temps.

Thanks for the info I’ll look into the barnet springs

What Lechy Said.

No one claimed that the Barnett HD springs for the 700/750/800 ever slipped, so I didn't develop any for that Model.

However, the Barnett offerings do slip for the 1400 and 1500. So I created some for those two models.

I gotcha, I appreciate your reply’s, this form has been very helpful and I’ve only been on it a day

Stick around! MUCH more to come your way.

I installed those Barnett springs on my vs800, wow full throttle in all gears no slip thanks guys for the recommendations, now if I could just figure out this low speed hesitation, I know it’s probably the dang pilot jet, when I first got the bike I took the carbs off and rebuilt/cleaned them, but for some reason I think the pilot jet is clogged, maybe I didn’t blow it out hard enough or maybe there was some crud in the tank that made its way through who know.

Put 4 ounces of Seafoam in the tank for 2-3 fill ups and see if that works for you.

What SgtCall says!

I do this regularly with my 1400 and found that when I opened up my carbs to replace the Needle Jets,...they were .."Clean As A Whistle"...As the saying goes.

You'd be surprised how many people think they have cleaned their carbs well only to find there is still crud in the pilot circuits. You need strong compressed air and carb cleaner to get it out.

Seafoam is the easiest but may not get results.

So I brought up Seafoam on the Triumph Bobber forum because this guy let his 2020 Bobber sit for 18 months and didn't even try to prep it before. Anyway he put new gas in it and it wouldn't run right. Guys on that site, mostly British, go straight for the "pull the fuel injectors", "rebuild the engine" and everything else they could think of. The guy that had the issue obviously had never turned a wrench in his life. I say put some seafoam in it. Holy shit the hate that came from that idea. But the guy tried it and reported back 4 days later that the bike was running great. Crickets from all the haters.

I just think for the $5 or $6 bucks a bottle try the easy way first then go into the hard stuff.

Side note, for some reason a lot of the guys that ride Triumphs are anal as fuck. You should see the arguments if someone brings up using a torque wrench if it isn't the exact brand some other guy likes. Or, God forbid, not using a torque wrench on just about everything., the hate will just flow.

Haha - there's keyboard mechanics on just about every forum. If they have 10K posts they are obviously the experts

You should suggest using a syringe to bleed brakes - that will destroy them

We see you just can't DEAL WITH ITY when you are proven an IGNORANT SUCKING JACKASS!!..........Mr. "fiddling with electrical switches will fix a mechanical clutch problem"

Yeah. I hear you! There's always some bone-headed jerk who makes an asinine suggestion of a Fix that is way far off and couldn't possibly help the poor guy with a Mechanical problem get back on the Road.

Then,...gets All Riled Up when their suggestion is shown it makes no sensible help.

Ain't that the truth

I especially laugh at the guys who claim to be experts in some particular field - sometimes they even sell parts - and then when someone posts a problem in that space they don't have a clue and suggest they just throw new parts at it that don't fix the problem...

[Designer]

That was EASY.
