#451647 chico (User) "EL BANDIDO" says lets ride man,lets ride!!! Platinum Boarder Posts: 1124 clutch 1 Year, 4 Months ago   In the fall before I put my bike away for the winter,my clutch started to slip after I shifted into 2nd gear. So what is the best clutch out there for my bike?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #451649 Doc_V (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2253 Re:clutch 1 Year, 4 Months ago   Seeing as you've made over a thousand posts, I'm assuming you're well aware of the weak stock clutch spring issue? If it is indeed your clutch, I too am going through this one at this very moment. In fact, I'm waiting on the UPS driver to arrive with my parts as I type this. -The stock Yamaha clutch get's the highest reviews and Yamaha Sports Plaza in Oregon has the best prices on Genuine Yamaha parts I could find: http://www.yamahasportsplaza.com/ They've also got a good deal on the Speedstar Stage IV Clutch Spring, with 25% more clamping force than the stock spring. However, if money is not an issue, go with the Barnett clutch spring upgrade and the stock Yamai clutch.   Logged     Last Edit: 2012/01/17 13:38 By Doc_V.   The world breaks everyone, and afterward, *some* are strong at the broken places.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #451651 Erbman02 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 5275 Re:clutch 1 Year, 4 Months ago   More than likely all you need is the spring ate. The friction are tuff as nails. 140k and still stok plates. I did modify my spring with a Vkrago1100 plate on top of the stock spring plate 80k miles ago and still works fine   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #451669 chico (User) "EL BANDIDO" says lets ride man,lets ride!!!

So what is the best clutch out there for my bike?=================== Do a forum search,this subject has recently been beat to death a couple times with tons of great info. To narrow it down quick most people here in RSC prefer the Barnett repl clutch setup for the R* thats been proven to be a good unit. But there's also a couple hardy souls (i'm one of them!) that plan to try Yami's hi perf repl speedstar clutch spring with either 20 or 25% additonal clamping force (depending on which version you buy) over the weaker stock R* clutch spring. The Yami hi perf HD speedstar clutch spring is a plug & play install vs the Barnett repl clutch PP & spring setup thats a little more involved but not that bad either.
