Title: Clutches
Post by: FastKX500 on July 21, 2004, 08:37:15 AM

Okay Its time for a new clutch, mine has to be spent im sure its the same one that was put in in 1989 all that power..ud think it would went faster ..must of been all that burning out i do ;)...but i can barely pull out now, and it just revs and doesnt take off like it should, its slipping really bad, so does anyone know if i can adjust it? Or where I can get one for a decent price on the net? For a 89 KX500, Thanks Guys.

I have used EBC with good success, but make sure you install steel plates...they last longer.  In fact, I am running the stock fiber plates and steel EBC plates.  Replaced the aluminum plates as soon as the bike hit the stable.

And dont use the stiffer springs. Even 3 make the clutch pull a lot stiffer...

Buy the tusk brand.  35 bucks for plates, fiber and springs.
