what is the benifit to them? i don't want a lock-up clutch i'm talking just one that is like the stocker. is there anything better about the GYTR clutch over my stock clutch? mine is ok for now but when i need to replace i would like to know my options.

From my experience with clutches, stock is the only way to go. I've been through plenty, on a handful of different bikes and I always regret not going back with OEM in the first place. I've used Barnett, EBC, Tusk, and other no named stuff and they have never lasted as long as OEM. I've eventually gone back to OEM anyways. Felt like I've wasted my time and money with aftermarket clutches. Now on the other hand my next clutch in the rappy is going to be lock -up, no matter what.

This is a good post :thumbs: i have been curious to know what is thought about other clutches. With my build i have noticed some signs of clutch fatigue and wondered which way to go myself. I read some where awhile ago something about removing a spacer or something in the oem clutch and it allows room for another disk,anyone have info on this

If you remove a steel and a fiber plate, you have room to install a slingshot lock-up.  :clap:

Randy or Preddy would know a lot more about this than me, but from my limited understanding the GYTR creates less rotating mass because of the basket and hub. As far as holding together or slipping, some say just throw higher tension springs, or add shims to the stocker. The stock fibers are fine and no need to upgrade. My question is why are the guys who are running lockouts, not using GYTR assembly if it really does free up HP?

The stock clutch is hard to bbeat especially with shimmed springs or aftermarket springs.
