Clutch Replacement Kit - What Brand? (Z400)
#1
![Default](https://atvconnection.com/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
I have two Suzuki LTZ400s I've bought within the past year. The clutch needs to be replaced on one for sure (slips frequently). The other might also be about due. I've never done any significant work on them, but I found some on-line instructions that seem pretty clear. BUT, what brand clutch kit should I buy (or are they all the same)? If it matters, my son and I do mostly trail riding - some slow crawling over rocks, etc, as well as faster trail riding. We don't race or push them very hard. Only very light jumping. We are both learning to ride, so we aren't the smoothest at shifing and clutch work. Frequent creek crossings (that's were I first noticed it slipping badly - though I don't know if its related).
Any clutch replacement advice will be appreciated.
Thanks
Doug

Thanks guys - it sounds like the EBC would be the safer bet (I think I also read in another post about someone having a problem with a Tusk and recommending EBC). I did read somewhere (this or another forum - I'm not sure) where someone said to get the OEM Suzuki parts - that they would work a little better and/or last a little longer than after-market. Think there's anything to this? I'm much more concerned with it working well and lasting than with saving $20 or $30 on the cost of the parts.
Thanks again

Yes a lot of people use trx450r fibers, your stock suzuki steels, and cr or kx500 springs. The springs are not needed, just make the clutch grab harder/quicker, prolongs clutch life a little.
After researching I found most people had the best luck with the 450r setup, and the barnett carbon fiber clutch kit.
I went with the barnett carbon fiber kit. So far so good, only been a couple of months so far. I think it was magicracing or moto-man that I got it from. ~$110 for the kit.
