What Clutch?

Post by johno440 » Fri Jul 18, 2014 11:00 am

Just after some advice on the best clutch to suit my purpose. Engine will be worked and going in an off-road racing buggy weighing about 400kg or thereabouts all up.

What is the difference between the EBC SRK009 & SRC009 clutch kits? Both are kevlar lined and include springs and suited for heavier/higher HP bikes.

I fitted the SRC009 to my track bike, this includes friction plates and HD springs. I think the other one probably includes the steel plates. My old clutch was slightly slipping on hard acceleration, i tried HD springs first but it didn't fix it. When i measure the original clutch it was all to spec, and i have always used Motul 5100.

I used the full clutch kit take up at hight revs is a bit "grabby" which can be a bit alarming, I now pull away at lower revs and have to be a bit more careful about when I feed in the power. Would be intersested to know if this is common. The EBC literature did warn that take up was different to standard.

I'm also looking at replacements for the standard clutch.
There is not much on offer in Oz, the EBC importer doesn't carry the SRC009 and the TRW importer doesn't have the TRX parts and is about drop the entire line.
What other options are there, and are they available in Oz?
I'm happy to buy from ebay but the prices vary wildly (from 130 to 240 AUD) and the shipping costs are sometimes almost as much as the parts. (89 EUR for the kit, 80 EUR for shipping!)
