Looking to replace my stock clutch. Any suggestions as well as pros and cons?

Well before Sturgis last year I replaced my 05 clutch just for shits and giggles!!!! Many 05's were breaking the hub but mine was fine.
Anyway I put the Bandit in and thought it was a great clutch.
This last fall my bike went back to the factory and they put in the new easy-pull clutch. Holllllllyyyyyy SSSSShhhhhittttt!!!!!! Big MAJOR difference.
Wanna buy my Bandit?

Hahaaa. My K9 was built in late '05 and not that I have been having problems, but for piece of mind, I would feel better changing it and not having to worry the next time I get on it and have the clutch just shit out. As far as the easy pull...What makes up that kit? I havent been home since last September and I am thinking of what I need to do to my K9 before I start riding it again
I don't really know what's all included in the kit but I believe it's a new clutch pack with less plates but don't quote me on that. Again mine was done at the factory so I didn't see the kit.
Some others have put it in so maybe they will chime in.

Can one get just the new ball ramp assembly for the easy pull? Or do you have to get the whole kit?

Has anyone installed a Barnett clutch on the stock primary? More specifically, one with the DSSC set up like the RSD models have.
That's what I posted above. :2thumbs:

Ok, so Barnett does not offer a clutch for the 2005 and up models. Baker does, but it also includes the ball and ramp assy. Anyone installed a Baker clutch on theirs?

How many plates are in the stock clutch? Just curious. Im away from home so I cannot pull my primary off to actually count.

Well, if the Baker clutch for the post 2005 is the same one as I have in my 2009 Mastiff, don't waste your money. 2500 miles and I am on my 2nd one and while it's much better than the 1st one, it is still weak. Get a Bandit and find the ball and ramp parts separately.

I put a Pirahna clutch on mine, it came with the new Karata open 4" belt drive I bought from Jim (@ Karata), and that son-of-a-bitch is badass.
Jim gave me a hell-of-a-deal on the setup, if you've been thinking about getting an open belt drive you should call him.

Before I bought the BDM easy pull unit (I think its not great that you can't get just the ball & ramp) I bought a Muller for a RSD and it did not fit - very different. be careful with that if going for something other than BDM. Even though the bike is RSD it might be a LSD style ball & ramp - not sure.
