Energy One makes and excellent "extra plate" clutch kit which seems to require a bit less clutch pull force than the SE clutch plate kit, but both work fine. If you need the clutch done under warranty, the SE kit will probably be the logical (no cost) option.

 

My first clutch replacement was at 25,000 miles. The second lasted 40,000 miles. I certainly don't fit the "typical Sporty Rider" cHarley describes. I agree with him, it's just doesn't apply to me. I do plenty of twisty riding, in my part of the world just a short ride through the country is going to involve twisties. I also sometimes take the Sporty on a 400 - 600 superslab ride.

And then there are my Patriot Guard Rider activities. Those are very abusive on the clutch.

 

Use the stock diaphram spring back along with the plate upgrade and you are good to go. No need for the extra pressure unless you have introduced more hp into the equation.

 

Don't buy the $199 kit for a new bike.
All you need is 1 friction disc & 1 steel plate.

 

I think 2 steels and 1 friction as I recall? I figure the spring plate is steel on both sides, so you need a friction in between the new steels. I'm sure someone who has done this knows exactly. Also, something about the overall height of the clutch pack matters too.

Does anyone have the part numbers for these items??

That's correct, use 2 steels and 1 friction to replace the Spring Plate.
If your repairing the clutch at <=25,000 miles, I would just do the 3 plates. If your out at 50,000 miles, I would probably replace all of the plates in the pack.

 

Doh! Yep...
