RadarRacing Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 There is other choices if you need a clutch to get your bike going. The EBC is a very good clutch there's nothing wrong with it. The FAST clutch is just a better one especially if you have a high HP bike that gets dragraced a lot. It is priced more. The FAST clutch is from FAST a site sponsor.

bansheesandrider Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Toomey also make an excellent clutch kit. I have had the same one in my bike since about 1995 and the last time i was in there it still looks like new, and i fan my clutch alot. I also use Klotz Flex Drive 30, part # KL506, for oil.

sheeban Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Wrong oil, out of adjustment, worn parts but the ebc would not be a bad choice for your bike being close to stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadarRacing Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 (edited) The plates don't look worn out yet still won't hold in higher gears. Use ford type ATF in the trans when you put it back together its about $2-3 a qt. Make sure you have the clutch adjusted so the arm points at the little arrow on the case, then also make sure your clutch lever has about 1/8" of slack when its adjusted.

FASTOYS Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Several clutch kits will work such as ebc, tusk, etc.. or you can do it once and do it right with ours. Click F.A.S.T. link below in sig... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boneyardbanshee. Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 (edited) I personally would get the cheaper kit for now to get it up and going. Also I belive the fast kit has wider fibers and may not seat correctly on worn hubs. If I was going to get the FAST kit (and I do plan on it when I need a new one) I think it would be good practice to get a new inner hub and pressure plate so that it all breaks in together.

02banshee504 Posted March 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 yeah that does sound like a good idea but im unemployed right so i dont have a whole bunch of money to sink into it at the moment.. im thinking about the fast clutch but i seen how it said light springs for low hp bike wouldnt that be like have a new clutch with worn springs?

boneyardbanshee. Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Well yeah and no. Higher hp bikes need the heavier springs to keep it from slipping when fully engaged. It is about clutch feel also. You dont want a clutch to be completely engaged or completely disengaged. You want a certain amount of slipage so can can feather it in certain circumstances. Unless of coarse you are a drag racer. It will depend on how you ride. For example, I have a Dirt Digger that I have ran for a long time now. It came with heavy and lighter springs. After testing out both I ended up using three of my stock springs and three of their heavy springs. That gave me the clutch pull, feel, lockup, and slipage I was looking for so that I could ride alot of different terrrain. I can drop the clutch for a drag and not have it slip, and I can feather it for rough hillclimbs. The pull isn't so bad I look like Popeye at the end of the day and if I have an extra person on board it wont burn it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
