Lock up clutch

[njbanshee]

I was thinking about buying that lock up clutch kit. What do you guys think?

I love mine. It is a direct drive, and I have it on my dunner. I had always heard that it would be hard to pull with the lock up, but I really couldn't tell that much dif on the pull. Just lots more power from the clutchs not slipping.

I have one on my 485 Cheetha and it works great. I haven't had any slipping problems. I run it with a Barrnet clutch and a Magura hydrolic lever and it is smooth as silk. I got mine from K&T Performance in Utah. The lever pull will still depend on what springs you use in yor clutch. If you use the stock springs it'll be the same as stock to pull but the clutch will hold a lot stronger. It uses weights to add extra pressure to the springs. I used the stiffer Barrnet sprigs in mine but with the hydrolic lever it works real nice.

I just bought one not too long ago and haven't had the chance to install it. Does it replace the pressure plate or does it go on the outside of the pressure plate?

 

Thanks!

 

njbanshee, I've heard absolutely nothing but good things about the lockup clutches.

It goes on the outside, you remove the spring bolts and add it on with longer bolts that should be supplied with it. You do have to get your side cover modified to get enough clearance though.

Hmmm are you guys using the lock up for racing and/or riding trails?...I'm nothing but a hard core trail rider...

The lock up works great for any type of riding. Of course the most benefit is when you are wide open. It works on centrifical force so the higher your rpm's the more force it aplies to the clutch. I don't know of any disadvantages, at lower rpm's it works like normal but at higher rpm's it locks up. You can't even tell except there is no clutch slippage and it feels like you have more power because you are getting it all to the ground.
