Just wondering how long clutch plates last?My 01 raptor still has the original plates Im thinking they must be running thin.

 

they will last quite a while untill you slip them.. it seems like clutches go down hill pretty quick after that. But if you just want a little more grip you can take ur metals out and sand blast them, clean them up and sick them back in. Them being sand blaster helps with the grip and will not slip as easy. But a cluth also will last as long as the rider isnt mistreated it.. like drag racing launching in 3 gear or 2nd geat without the right gearing. I know i wore out my clutch fibers at little sahara in 3 days cause i was launching in 2nd with a 13,40 gearing with the 760. but come to find out i was shattering clutch fibers LOL... just make sure you take care of them and not to slip them much unless u have too.. mine lasted till i built my 686 from when they were new.. then i knew that clutch wouldnt hold and bob craycraft has put and extra metal to make it have more bite.. not 100% sure on wether it was metal or a fiber ill check on that..

But on my bashee i just went with the lockup and said screw slippin [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
