Looking for good tuff upgrades for the clutch discs,basket,springs.Im not shur how well the stock parts will hold up to hard ridding.
IMO, the best clutch you can put together:
A good aftermaket basket or a fresh oem basket ( as soon as the basketstarts grooving, clutch engagment is decreased) The aftermarket baskets are much tuffer than oem.
Stock clutch disks, replace the narrow plate and wave spring with a full size disk
Stock plates, (mic them to make sure they are in spec)
Barnett heavy springs.
Make sure your pressure plate is in good shape too. I had one let go and it twisted the crank, twisted the output shaft and pulled the stator side input bearing thru the case. Plus tore up the gears and tore up a hinson basket. it gets expensive when the only thing really salvagable is the top end. Especially when the bottom end and tranny was all brand new with less than 15 minutes on it.

When you look at a Hinson, pay attention to the slots they mill into the fingers of the basket. You can copy this by drilling 2, 1/8 holes in each finger. Stay on center. I also drill two small holes in each rib of the inner basket. Seems like it makes the plates last longer.
They are the best clutch kit available, that's the same kit I sell.....
I know the man personally, he has years of experience on the dyno, and has done his homework....
All the engine kits I put together have these, blasters, banshees, and so on
any questions please PM me
Thanks

agreed, these are the best clutches on the market and for prolly the best price...for you banshee guys driveline performance has a killer lockup clutch that fits stealth under the stock cover, when i bought mine they said the yfz450 would be soon to come
I recommend getting better clutch springs. They make a huge difference....even if you just change the springs to new stock ones, or any aftermarket ones. They're cheap and if you're clutch is slipping, as long as it's not toast, they will fix it.
