Clutch

[Big - D Racing]

I orginally posted this in maintenace, but only one person replied and not too many people have even viewed it, so I thought i'd post it here. I'm looking to get a new clutch. I can't afford a hinson, like most of us. Was wondering what aftermarket clutches have people tried? What have you thought? What are your opinions on different brands (Barnett, Ebc, etc.)? I already have a billet clutch basket just need a heavier duty clutch kit to go in it.

I was wondering the same thing.

Latley i have been posting milions of threads like this one. I have been wanting to know the same thing. Here is what i have found out:


Unless you can afford Hinson just get a stock one. The stock clutch is a very good clutch and is very cheap. This is what i am going with. I haven't really got intao looking as to where i can get one but if anyone knows tell me.

O yeah i need to know exactly what ot get. I tried service honda and honda of troy.

They have a bunch of things listed and i need to know whichs ones and hole many i need of each thing.


Thanks guys.

I have also heard sparks was a good clutch kit.

Big D and all others. i went with Barnett but smoked it after about 2 months. The next time I decided to go with the Curtis Sparks 8 plate set up and so far I love it. C&D racing is a Sparks dealer and can get better deals. I would say call them up and see what they can do for ya. Also, Big-D, there are alot of people here that have way more than you on there quad.

I bought a Barnett K-Series clutch when I put in my 440. It started slipping in about 3 weeks. :mad: So I called them and sent it back. They sent me a Dirt Digger clutch to replace it. It is still sitting in the garage. :rolleyes: I never opened it, the stock clutch has been holding for over 1 1/5 years.
I would be willing to make some one a deal on it. :D
I am going to a FDO clutch package when I do the 463.

i have the sparks setup also. i like it and not had any problems with it yet. the pull is stiffer and the bike does not seem to shift quite as smooth but i don't know why. doesn't the sparks setup use hinson products?

[GreatAim]

what do you guys think of magura?

[oynot400]

I know a couple of guys with them and they love them. Then again they are running some stiff springs so the lever would pull hard with out it.

I run the FDO clutch kit like oynot will be running and I have a magura clutch and I love them both. I have had no problem with my clucth slipping and the springs are still at full strength with almost an entire season on them.

If you cant afford the Hinson setup then go with the stock!
Ive got the complete Hinson setup with TC plates and springs and all that.

Who is FDO? Do they have a website?

[oynot400]

FDO = For Dirt Only. They don't have a web site as of yet. Mike is a great guy to deal with. I can't wait to get mine together. Sorry I don't have the phone # in front of me. If you want it I can get it later or GNCCer should have it.:D

after you get your clutch get a RTC LEVER!! THEY KICK ***!!!!

I run the EBC heavy duty, and stiff clutch springs..... my hand hurts!!!

[300exryder]

EBC dirt digger w/ heavy duty springs. No problems yet -- about 1/2 year since installation. It was the cheapest at the time -- only $60 bucks for the carbon fiber plates, friction plates, and heavy duty springs.
