Clutch Kits

<< < (3/3)

Not that I've ridden much this year or that I'm excessively hard on my bike..... but I put a Tusk kit in last winter and it hasn't slipped once.  The top end was done last winter as well and now it's a 520 with the typical clean up porting job.

Thats it :)

Thats how they described it anyway, it was in an early 90s motocross/Offroad bike mag and aparently the extra rotating mass of the steel as opposed to the aluminium drive plates act as a little flywheel weight, but as the clutch rotates at a slower speed than the flywheel each ounce makes less difference than it would if it were added to the flywheel.

Thats how they decscribed it any and it made sence in my befuddled brain :wink:
