checked my clutch plates and it wasnt good

[benbuilt4u]

i posted when i first got mine the clutch slipped to the point i didnt have any clutch then i had to shorten up the cable about an inch to ride. well after the next ride i started to loose even more clutch. well i decided i best check the plates. well it took 10 minutes to get them out so no big deal. but almost all of them were completely wore out. To my best knowledge i think my dealer caused this. they over adjusted my clutch cable to the point it was actually slipping under acceleration and like all dealers theres no way they admit that. so know i need to order new plates and clutches. anyone tried hinson? they have a complete setup listed? if not im gonna go stock but dreading the price of even stock stuff. anyone know a good suzuki place to order from?

Hinson makes the best clutches out there. I would say 75% of the pros run them. I had one on my z400 and it hooked up great and lasted twice as long as the stocker, and we all know how the old Z ate up clutches.

Im sorry, but even if they messed up, you should check your clutch tension every time you start your quad.

It takes the flick of an index finger to adjust it.

Couldnt you tell it was way too tight?

You can never go wrong with Hinson, but usually OEM clutches and brakes are hard to beat.

This is my first Suzuki, but the OEM honda stuff was always the best way to go.

i did check it the reason it was screwed up was they had the lever adjustment all the way in when they adjusted it so it was backwards. so as it wore in it held it out and wore faster.

Dont wanna piss anyone off but that is still not their fault. Mine was like that too but that was one of the things i adjusted before I ever rode the thing.

yes i agree with these guys although the dealer is part to blame.if you checked your slack and properly adjusted it before every ride as you should you would have caught this before it got that bad.lesson learned when you put in your new clutch remember to monitor your slack adjustment or it will happen again.this is one thing i really liked about the hydro clutch on the dale.it was always in tune.
