Heavier clutch springs

[Dirtrider]

I've done a serch on clutch springs and come up with not much. I want to know what springs can you replace the std one's on a lifan 120 motor. I've heard that you can use springs from a trx 90 is this true? I noticed that my clutch has been slipping since a put a cam in, has anyone else had this problem after adding a cam.

Since nobody has answered you yet ..... yes !!!! The yanks reckon TRX90 clutch and even valve springs will work well on Lifan engines ...... check out Planet Minis .......

Incidentally , check your clutch plates out to make sure they're not glazed .... (dark and shiny looking) ...... the yanks also reckon KX80 friction plates will fit and make a big improvement .......

Cheers for that. I've got a new 4 plate clutch on it's way so i'm looking in to it so i can mod the new clutch when it turns up. Was thinking about it and was wornding if a washer under the spring would work, just to save a few $$$.

You could pack the springs for added tension but check that they don't coil bind ........ you should have gone to a 5 plate clutch .......

I've had clutches that slip yet the plates were still the proper thickness and they didn't look glazed ...... so I replaced them anyway and the new plates solved the problem .......
