I give it a fair bit of stick down the drags. not bad for an old stocker clutch. a 6 speed BF should handle up to 300rwkw easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't complain about an occasional hit or smallish burnout. But a hard take off on the strip made it slip badly. After it cooled down it was fine though but couldn't take off as hard as I would like. If you only want around 260rwkw I'd say stick with the original, if it starts slipping then think about upgrading it. But don't ride it too much, mine managed to slip even on stock power once it over heated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
