I need to put a clutch kit into my '06 TTR250. There are 2 on ebay that have caught my attention. One is Kevlar and the other is cork. Both are fairly close in price, just wondering on the pro's and cons of each. Also if you know of a cheaper or better kit I would appreciate the advice. I am in Australia.
Hi, Dan. It's your call really. Which do you prefer? If it were me I reckon the kevlar set would be going in. There's really not a lot of difference in the prices so there's nothing to choose, really. I've not had to do anything to my TTR's clutch in the past three years that I've had it. It gets abused as much as the rest of the bike in the Devon trails and it still performs with no slippage or snatching. Is your existing clutch shot or merely out of adjustment? Martyn
I only fairly recently came into ownership of the bike. The clutch has started to slip and when I tried to adjust it up I have found that there is no more room for adjustment.
Thank you for your advice... I have ordered myself a kevlar kit.
Thank you for making the links live... can I do that myself? If so how do I do it?
Really, would there be a benefit to kevlar in normal use? Or is it just a 'new, space age material' that doesn't actually work, in normal use, as well as the stock clutch plates? Like we aren't using carbon-carbon brakes on road bikes, because that could be dangerous.
