what clutch to get?

[bigbad400]

my clutch on the ol 4 hundy is starting to slip when i get on it real hard, im starting to look into a good HD clutch kit, i see there are many options out there but all are very similar, cork plates steel plates and springs. what brand would you guys recomend why, and how much? i found some for 45.00 on ebay and some for 170.00 is it really worth that much. or would i be fine with a 70.00 kit? so many options.

i think a great setup that i regret not using would be stock fibers and steels with ebc hd springs. i have the full ebc dirt racer kit.. not very impressed.

[bigbad400]

stock fibers and plates are more expensive than almost any aftermarket brand. i was told that localy too about the ebc kits. love the duals bro, i wish i could do it, but in black chrome, im aiming to do out my quad in yellow and black chrome. expensive but i think it looks sweet.

[bigbad400]

any other suggestions? things you liked or disliked about different clutch kits. thanks.

Hinson is the only thing I'd put on my quad after stock clutch imo.

I have a barnett dirt digger clutch. Cost bout 130. Works well. Probably worth it but I'm not sure

[riderssb250x]

dpk clutches are the best hands down aside oem

[coryatver]

STOCK clutch fibers and steels are the best by far.

[smokindw]

so 8 guys hav replied so far including myself and there are 8 different best clutches mentioned, what i want 2 know and im sure bigbad400 also wants 2 know is out of the eight mentioned whst clutch is truly the best?? im not trying 2 be smart or anything and yes it really does help when ppl put different products out there but which one is the best hands down!!

[riderssb250x]

DPK! i had one in my 400 for like 3 years and switched it out once i needed to and got an ebc dirtracer and lets say im not satisfied. Well its not a bad clutch but not as hard as the dpk or have as much smack its a more solid clutch and dopesent slip.

im running a dpk on my 250r as well id choose it agaaqin and my 440 is geting one soon

i notice alot of built bikes going back to stock clutch kits saying they find them to work best.

[gt400ex]

i road most of the weekend with the new tusk and hd spring kit i installed last week and was really happy with the performance. may not be the best clutch but seems like a good one.

[droppedmazda]

i ran a stock clutch in my drag bike with hd springs and it never slipped so i'd say oem is the way to go on clutches. it has a hinson now and works great but we'll see if it lasts as long.

[bigbad400]

thank you for all that posted, sounds like dpk or stock is the way to go, anybody know were to find cheap stockers? im gonna get the HD springs. what makes the DPK or the stock so much better than other brands?

[riderssb250x]

dpk is a real high quality clutch basically an oem clutch, it has hd springs

[smokindw]

so where can we find the dpk clutch kits??

[bigbad400]

yeah were do we find them dpk kits!!!? i hate to spend so much on stock there has to be a better setup or at least as good for like way less cash. they are asking like 200 shipped for stockers were i found them in stock.

[riotact]

Ebay has it for 121.00 shipped seems to be a bit pricy to me though.I have the EBC Dirt Racer Clutch for 4 years now and no problems.Here's the link to check it out

Well since the link didnt work here is the item number: 200348482034

[omeeomy]

[Pipeless416]

i think people would be stupid to not look at the performance engineering billet basket. its nearly identical to the hinson.. $70 less though. after a year and a half of full throttle launches, and just overall abuse, mine still looks new.

[riderssb250x]

should be able to get it on ebay just type it in google youl find it

[bigbad400]

im not looking at a basket or anything else just plates and springs, i dont have no extra quad money right now. if i did i would get plates and springs and also some paddle tires cuz my ridin buddies are planning another trip to silver lake in about 2 weeks so im gonna be bummed running the holeshots in the sand again, they work and i dont get stuck much but drag racing, they all beat me cuz of traction and on dirt roads i beat all the guys i ride with but one (hes got a ds650 baja) so it bums me out but whatever.
