    Re: where to buy a clutch kit

    How many miles? What kind of bike? Just curious. I've never worn one out. You sure it's not a back torque limiter spring problem or something like that?

    Stock is best for most bikes.

    Did the failure happen suddenly or gradually? I agree, OEM is the way to go too, but you need to take the clutch out and see what's really wrong before you order anything.

    Re: where to buy a clutch kit

    Sounds like it's worn out. You'll probably need springs as Pigman said, but do take it apart and measure the parts per the manual before you order stuff.

    Ron Ayers has good prices for OEM stuff, but with shipping they are often no better than buying locally and usually take a little longer.

    Re: where to buy a clutch kit

    When replacing the clutch is it worth skimping and getting just springs and fibers, or is it worth the extra with new metal too?

    Re: where to buy a clutch kit

    You only need to replace the steels if they are worn or burnt. Usually you don't need them unless you completely fried the clutch and damaged them.
