Well, i have decided that i'm sticking with stock clutch friction plates and all the other sh*t. To get 6 friction plates i have to pay $7.67/each. To get Clutch 1 Plate i have to pay $9.58/each. For Friction 2 Plate i have to pay $15`````` Thats a total of $118.68 if you do the math right. Im gonna be getting a Motion Pro Clutch Cable for $14.95 and a Clutch Cover gasket for $10.13. I'm also gonna get the Clutch Pull Lever for $51`````` For a grand Total of $194.94. I found these prices on lemonds.com and my local yamaha dealer of Louisville. I'm gonna try Babbitts.com and Cheapcycleparts.com. If you can find me anything cheaper it would help. It has to be NEW if you find one.

Yeah but i prefer buying something this important on a website with good reports. what if one comes in bent? I went to cheap cycle parts and i found everything i need for $150 with 7-10 shipping for $12.00. If you can find me a good site to order off of for cheap besides ebay i'd appreciate it.

exactly what he said \/ they wont come bent,and TUSK is a good clutch,ive always ran them and there great. Ebay has a rep thing,click on it and check man. I can bet ur 100$ clutch wont perform any better or less then the 40$ TUSK. Alot of times ppl are just paying for a name.

well depending on how you shift and how you ride also the size and weight of the tires and rims all can contribute to the clutch going bad. get the $40 off of ebay and if it does happen to be screwed get another one from them that way your only out 80 instead of nearly 200. Also if that clutch on ebay is for sale by some sort of buisness owner or retail seller they usually come with a warranty

not even out 80$ bro,if its bent,send it back..they replace it for free,and yup theres a warranty.
 
Do not spend that much on a clutch setup.You are crazy bro.The barnett is really nice and is still cheaper than stock.Hell the tusk or vitos will be fine for a stock setup.Save your money and spend less.I have built many toys off of ebay and the internet and have had no problems to date.Don't worry all of the reputable sellers and dealers will back their products they sell.
 
i have had no problems with my vito's clutches. i've got 2 blasters with them in and soon to be a 3rd, the other has a tusk clutch. i'd never pay that much for a clutch.
 
I love the way the DP Clutch comes. If i buy any clutch its gonna be that one. I called my dealer and he said Barnett is a better dirtbike clutch then atv clutch. DP is known to make a better clutch for atvs he said. Im still gonna buy my clutch cover gasket and Actuator from my Yamaha Dealer though. probably gonna spend a little over $100 with everything
 
i'd also check eastcoastatv, rockymountainatv, and look for a seller on ebay called...sledpartsguy, or bikerchicks, they have good prices, and it comes in like 2 days
