Default FPS YAMAHA WOLVERINE 450 CLUTCH KIT

I saw this on ebay. Does anyone have any info on this kit? How does it work? Same as epi? Comparable? It looks like a good price.

Thanks much

This is nowhere near the amount of stuff you get in the EPI clutch kit, the springs will provide an increase in accelleration from stock but that is the only thing that might give any kind of an increase. I would go with the EPI kit because it also gives you the larger spring as well and the new bushings for the primary clutch.

The FPS kit looks like a knock off just providing you with the smaller springs from an epi kit.

There is no need to rejet if all you are doing is a clutch kit.
Take a look at the difference between the EPI kit and the FPS kit
EPI clutch kit pics
pic 007 shows the bushings included
pic 008 is the blue secondary spring
pic 014 is the difference in the factory springs and the epi springs.


I personnally would feel better paying the 189.99 for theEPI clutch kit than paying 112.00 for the knock off kit that only gives you the smaller primary springs with no upgraded bushings and no larger secondary spring.

Yep it's a cheap kit with less parts and probably doesn't work nearly as well.

Thumbs up FPS not so bad...

Just recently bought said FPS clutch kit off e-bay. Came with a jet as well. Not as easy to install as described, had to have professional install. It took about 4 mph off my top end...but you talk about get there! Can pull a wheelie from a dead stop now too with a little standing throwing your weight back, but it wasn't even an option before. In my opinion it didn't accelerate evenly or very fast through the power band to begin with. Now it accelerates hard and fast evenly from 0-45 then tails off for the last few mph's. Great money spent in my opinion

I found the best bang for the buck is the hauck machined sheave.... I tossed my epi in the garbage.... had bad luck with it, springs being too stiff and not engaging my wet clutch all the way causing them to burn out..... replaced the wet clutches and everything in there and had the sheave machined with their weight kit ( rollers) and I love it...I can wheelie with my *** on the seat now. and all my top end is back..... pulls much harder all the way through....

by the way, i also hated the cmp rack.... i broke mine in three spots third trip out.... and it sticks off the back to much... just my two cents..

i found a brand new aluminium yamaha one on ebay for 50 bucks(very lucky on the price) there 122 new from a dealer...i will try to take a picture of it if you want....
