Wassup350 Posted June 27, 2004 Report Posted June 27, 2004 I'm looking for a new clutch kit because my cheap ass tusk kit slips too much. I was wondering if anyone has tried an 8 plate kit? I see that ebc and duncan racing has 8 plate kits. What would be an advantage of an 8 plate kit? Also if i just get a regular kit what company should i go with ebc?? Bike bandit has the dirt racer kit for 100 bucks which i dont think is too bad of a deal. Quote
Oilsmoke Posted June 28, 2004 Report Posted June 28, 2004 12.5 % increase in surface friction, what come to my mind. Quote
Wassup350 Posted June 28, 2004 Author Report Posted June 28, 2004 Hmmm, that could mean quite a bit more bite. I'll have to think about that tonight, hopefully ill have one ordered by tommorow, just depends on how much money i want to spend because i think my rings are about due for a change and i want to get some ptr mids to replace my old bills pipes.

tats4life Posted June 28, 2004 Report Posted June 28, 2004 if you run the 8 plate set up you have to have the hinson inner hub and pressure plate. i will not work with your stock inner hub and pressure plate.........i think? Quote
DUNEDEMON Posted June 28, 2004 Report Posted June 28, 2004 if you run the 8 plate set up you have to have the hinson inner hub CORRECT! and they are not cheap... Quote
00BANSHEE Posted June 28, 2004 Report Posted June 28, 2004 if you run the 8 plate set up you have to have the hinson inner hub CORRECT! and they are not cheap... That ain't no shit. But if a few hundred dollars is an issue, it's time to get out of this sport and go back to BMX or skateboarding. Quote
rebelbanshee2 Posted June 28, 2004 Report Posted June 28, 2004 the EBC can be run with the stock, basket and hub since the plates are thiner than stock. kinda a trad off more surface but less heat dissapation. The hinson uses 8 normal plates, so it would be better. I would love to get the full hinson 8 plate setup with the basket with straight cut gears on it. If i have $900 to spend on a clutch that would be it right there! Quote
racer Posted June 29, 2004 Report Posted June 29, 2004 i believe you can run that plates out of a yamaha street bike, not an RZ but something much bigger that'll hold way more power. my friend does this when he fried his clutch and it grips like a mofo, but i dont remember what the bike is. anyone have a clue?

rebelbanshee2 Posted June 30, 2004 Report Posted June 30, 2004 i almost think its fzr600 but im not sure Quote
racer Posted June 30, 2004 Report Posted June 30, 2004 i almost think its fzr600 but im not sure yeah im pretty sure thats the one. Quote
00BANSHEE Posted June 30, 2004 Report Posted June 30, 2004 I have also heard of some guys running the fzr1000 plates. I read a thread on it over at planetsand. Quote
tats4life Posted June 30, 2004 Report Posted June 30, 2004 u can use R6 or R1 clutch kits also. Quote
oldasdirtrider Posted June 30, 2004 Report Posted June 30, 2004 I'm using FZR600 friction plates and yz490 springs. Don't forget to bead blast your steel plates before you rebuild Quote
Nighty Posted June 30, 2004 Report Posted June 30, 2004 any difference between the fzr plates and aftermarket banshee plates?? Quote
