ok so i went out on my cub cylindered shee(392cc) so it basically all new and just past broken in. so a guy on a new zuki450 was talking shit and wanted some!! so here goes... we started drag racin just so i could smoke him down.. i know its my fault but heres what happened.. i was taking off in 4th gear WFO!! sometimes i never shifted!! sometimes i needed 5th.. we were on a dirt track that was dry as all can be. so traction was hard to get.. now i have a toasted clutch!! is there a clutch out there that will take this occasional abuse?? or should i just get a lockup???

wow is all i have to say. 4th gear launches? you had to have been slipping the hell out of that poor clutch. I love the f.a.s.t. racing clutch myself but honestly i dont know of anything that will take 4th gear launches....please tell me you smoked that 450 with your 392

yea i smoked him pretty bad.. when i launched in 4th the tire spin was unreal!! it got a lot of attention!!lol .. yea he was pissed and wanted to race over and over agin, he never came close and left with a hurt ego!! it was well worth smoking the clutch!! lol.. this little motor has a ton of power for sure..

4th season on my fast clutch.

 

If you got a cub and you're drag racing, get a lockup and override or you're wasting time, IMO.

Then get the right tires, the right gearing...and go from there.

My cheapo tusk clutch from rmatv is holding good. Beat on it pretty hard all weekend and never a slip.

 

Holds in my buddies 4mil too which is a lot hotter than mine.

 

I'm using 3 of the hd springs and 3 stockers.

 

 

If you want to go 1 step further get FZR1000 fibers and barnett steels, that's what jeff and kevin sells and it's supposed to work great.
