bbcmudtruck Posted February 3, 2010 Report Posted February 3, 2010 I'm running a FAST clutch and couldn't be happier. You should look into a billet basket as well as a new inner and outer hubs. While your at it check out a pancake bearing, shift pro kit and modded star and new clutch cable! hahaha Quote
bansheesandrider Posted February 3, 2010 Report Posted February 3, 2010 I have been running a Toomey clutch since about 1995, the last time I was in there, it still looked fine. I run 3 Toomey springs and 3 stock springs. I would definetly add a pancake bearing. Quote

Fullthrottle02 Posted February 3, 2010 Report Posted February 3, 2010 I run a Cascade clutch, works great. A buddy has a FAST clutch that's been beat on hard and keeps going strong. Quote
shanYE west Posted February 3, 2010 Report Posted February 3, 2010 dont use tusk clutches because about a yea later youll need a new one and you have to keep adjusting them from them sweeling from the heat of riding This isn't true at all... If the clutch is heating.. its slipping or not fully releasing... You probably dont have the clutch properly adjusted, their is other worn clutch componets or your spring tension is not strong enough. I got a tusk kits in 4 other bikes.. all are doing good and their over 4yrs old. Quote

shanYE west Posted February 3, 2010 Report Posted February 3, 2010 ok well you get what you pay for i would personally use a higher quality clutch and i know a few ppl who had the dealer install them on there bikes and most wore out pretty quick You dont always get what you pay for... and I would never let the dealer install anything. They find a way to screw up everything. I worked for a dealership for almost 10yrs.. I know what kind of people they hire to do the service work and most of the time... they couldn't flip a burger let alone wrench. Quote
jbooker82 Posted February 3, 2010 Report Posted February 3, 2010 I would prefer to run a clutch that has cork for a friction material. Most oem clutches use cork. It doesn't contaminate the oil near as much as the aftermarket kevlar and carbon fiber. Kevlar and carbon fiber are also more abrasive than cork. Doesn't sound like a big deal but think about those particles floating around in your oil. If I was in the market for a new clutch I would go with a FAST clutch.I believe his fibers are also cork.

jbooker82 Posted February 3, 2010 Report Posted February 3, 2010 Deffinatly get a cascade pancake bearing. FAST carries these as well. It replaces the adjuster in the center of the pressure plate. The factory setup relys on a ball bearing runnin on the end of a rod for the clutch disengagement. The pancake bearing uses a flat roller needle bearing. It keeps the ball and rod from welding them selves together. Quote
BSHEE400 Posted February 3, 2010 Report Posted February 3, 2010 i too would recommend the fast clutch, been running it on my cub without a lockup for about a year now and it has been flawless Quote
TwistedSheeRida Posted February 3, 2010 Report Posted February 3, 2010 what do you guys think about the Vitos clutch? Quote
