Hilarious Posted August 26, 2008 Report Posted August 26, 2008 why is it so expensive? good quality, aftermarket parts usually are not cheap. there are a lot of pros to getting a lockout clutch cover even if you dont have the lockout unit. main reason being able to adjust and change the clutch without having to drain the coolant and pulling the entire cover off the side of the engine.

Much better alternative than milling a stock cover down and welding or epoxying on the extension ring. The new direct drive 12 bolt lexans dont leak. You can also get an aluminum cover so you dont have to worry abou the clear lexan. Quote

I believe dajo said that there is 2 different sling shots. One replaces the stock pressure plate, that one fits under the stock cover. The other style uses the stock pressure plate and sticks out a little and requires a cover. That is the one that Dajo is using. Direct Drives new diecast cover also has a beefier area around the kick starter. The cover does stick out a little. I had to do a little grinding on the foot peg and tweeked the brake lever. Plus no vent or rubber plug in the water pump cavity. Quote

shogs Posted September 7, 2008 Report Posted September 7, 2008 Does the lockout clutch make it easier to shift? Would it be good for trails or is it meant for racing? Quote
Hilarious Posted September 8, 2008 Report Posted September 8, 2008 Does the lockout clutch make it easier to shift? Would it be good for trails or is it meant for racing? no. it will make it harder to shift under power. they are best used in conjunction with an override trans for drag racing and hard duning. Quote
yamaha11 Posted September 8, 2008 Report Posted September 8, 2008 no. it will make it harder to shift under power.they are best used in conjunction with an override trans for drag racing and hard duning. i have a nice lockup and cover for sale if interested Quote
