Motorcyclists - Who do we like for clutch kits?
The Zook needs a new clutch. Been a LONG time since I've had to put a clutch in a motorcycle.

Back in the day, Barnett used to be the big player. Are they still a good source?

Don't need the latest/greatest carbon fiber unobtainium stuff, like to keep a kit with steels, frictions and springs in the neighborhood of $100.

The OEM stuff is really hard to beat these days. My Tenere has 75k on it and is still strong and that with a lot of abuse!

After being in the automotive and motorcycle repair business for so many years I agree with the OEM recommendation. If tough to beat OEM quality - especially with motorcycle parts. That said Barnett clutch seem to hold up decent if OEM isn't a viable option.

I'll check with my dealer and see what an OEM set costs. Looking at the individual parts on Partzilla is just stupid expensive.

Agree with everyone in the thread. OEM is the only way to go.

Of course it does depend on exact model, but no way that Barnett is better than OEM on any modern sport bike. Cheaper I'll buy but better, not a chance. This bike I have no idea, but I would never buy anything other than an OEM one these days. Some really older bikes you get no choice.
