Clutches...oh my...
Ok, so I need a new clutch (plates,springs,friction), ive used ebc in the past, with ok results. But...i need a good, reliable heavy duty clutch. Being as every manufacturer makes the worlds best clutch, im having trouble choosing which best clutch to buy.
so with a little help and input im hoping yall can help me out. I dont really want to spend $200 on a clutch, but im not opposed to it. So whatcya got watchya use, what works what dosent?

oem plates, ebc springs
hey focall it might be best to say what bike you have so more direct experience can be had...sometimes afermarket stuff works better on certain brand and models than others...
anyway I just did my clutch on my xr and like above post its a combo replacement... oem fibers and metal plates(oem is really best) and ebc heavy duty springs. its a good combo in my book... cheers |

Are your fibers tore up? Beyond minimum thickness? Clutch slipping? Springs out of spec?
Why replacing the entire basket?

man thats even more expensive than oem honda!
well in that case there are nice kevlar clutch combos like the ebc when you do the oem ebc spring combo for the xr for example you end up with a sub 150 clutch replacement... then there are the really cheap kits like the tusk but at 70-80 bucks you get what you pay for...
