Default 660 Raptor needs new clutch

I have a bored out 686 Raptor with hot cam, aftermarket exhaust, jets, etc...etc.
My clutch just went out and is slipping bad. I want a high performance clutch that will last (as I am hard on it) and works smoothly. What do you reccomend? Gyt-r? or Moose? others? Do I need a whole kit or just pieces like pressior plate, basket, springs, shifting forks, and/or inner hub? Please help quickly, I need to ride!!!

What about Trinity HD? which is cheaper, smoother? Just a clutch pkg or hub and basket?


Update: Opened clutch and a few of the discs were in pieces. Is this normal?
Is it worth the $450 to upgrade clutch hub and basket?

A heavy duty kit will likely come with heavy duty springs, this will increase the "pull' needed at the clutch lever, but will give you a lot more grab from the clutch to put the power to the wheels. Some balance this out by only using half the heavy springs, and half the stock ones, just alternate heavy, stock, etc, around the clutch basket.
And NO, finding discs in pieces is niether normal or good, you really ARE hard on clutches, aren't you !!!!!

I went with Hinson for the basket and pressure plate, and did a Barnett Dirt Digger clutch w/ HD springs. My Raptor is similar in mods and I have yet to get it to slip.

I am just a aggressive rider. Not a clutch maniac. I recently got it used and maybe it was already tore up.
I ordered a complete gytr kit (basket, hub, pressure plate, and clutches). When she's back, I'll give a review....thanks
