A helpful tech tip: The Barnett clutch plates are an excellent item that solves a number of issues with the Kaw 900/1000 clutch.... One easy, 10 minute modification can make them even better...... Take each plate, and with a few strokes of a file bevel the sharp edge of both sides of each location tab.....just enough to take the sharp corner off..... This will retain the extra strength of these plates, and make them engage and disengage as smooth as stock plates....
