Hello all,
Going to replace my clutch to something better. Right now it is a stock oem clutch with ncy 2k springs in it, and ncy 2k torque spring. I had an ncy clutch in it before (the blue one) with the 2k springs in it, and the pads wore down real quick, so I put my stock clutch back in with the 2k springs, so far that's what Ive been running since the ncy clutch wore out. Im wanting to get another aftermarket clutch, so.....which is the best one?
Thanks to all,
Randy

I don't know how you ride but I have the NCY Clutch and Bell and have over 5k miles on it and it is still going strong. About every 2k miles I unglaze the pads. What I like about the Clutch is the extra material on the pads about 1" more on the pads. Alleyoop   |

I was looking at a Velocita clutch from Monstergy6. Anyone ever heard of that brand?

Dr Pulley is high quality plus it comes with more than one set of springs plus weights so you can fine tune it . If its not in the budget I would get a Stage 6 clutch . The 2k springs may be wearing it out faster since of the higher RPMs and you may opt for 1.5k springs .
Aleeyooop do you have to unglaze the shoes or just do it as a preventive maintenance ? My Echarm I have 18,300 miles on the stock clutch and I only blew out some dust and greased the shaft behind it when I bought a belt at 12k miles

When it starts to slip a little I unglaze them, Don't forget my Trike weighs 350lbs plus my 180lbs that is almost 500 lbs it has to get moving so the clutch has to grip the bell good. But it is good for about 2000 miles before It slips a little taking off. That is very common with the 250 scoot because of the weight they start to shudder taking off when initially moving the dead weight. Once it moves the dead weight then they are ok, but a lot of the folks try to start off really slow and that causes the clutch pads to glaze quicker not enough centrifugal force to grab the bell good.

Alleyoop So, pretty much sand the clutch pads with sand paper? What grit paper? I might get the NCY clutch again..... |

I agree with you Aleeyoop as I have read where many noobs had the clutch slip or wear out prematurely since they did not give it enough throttle for it to fully engage and the shoes skim across the bell which causes glazing . The same thing for brakes . I only hold down for a second or two and again just before stopping instead of for a long duration like lil old ladies do . I work on cars since I was a teen doing brakes and other easy service work and I notice women wear out brakes much faster than men do .
NCY is a decent brand , better than OEM and not as pricey as the Italian goodies . If you do sand I would only go with the grain on the shoes and the bell . Are you using a NCY bell ?
