What do you mean by clutch kit? Are you looking to replace the clutch?Has anyone been able to find a clutch kit other than Baker that fit their bike mine is a 08 k9 and any info would be greatly appreciated
I've installed 2 of these, one on each of my 2008 K-9's and never had to remove any metal, I think that was only older models.If looking to replace your clutch as Dent said, quite a few on here have put in a Bandit. You do have to remove a little metal from the outer primary to get it to fit over the new basket. I have one sitting on the shelf that I have not got around to installing.

Mike you made me dig out the instillation instructions and we both may be right. Step 15 of the install says " Check the outer cover for clearance over the pressure plate. ( This is right at the angle on the pressure plate where the six flex loc nuts are.) It will need to be filed or ground down. A good way to check is to put clay on the raised bar in the primary. With the cover on the bike pull the clutch lever in. Then take off and see if there is .050 clearance or more." So I guess some may have the clearance some not.I've installed 2 of these, one on each of my 2008 K-9's and never had to remove any metal, I think that was only older models.
Been happy in both cases.

I will definitely consider this clutch but I just hate to spend the money and it not fix my problem that's why I was looking for aftermarket fibers and steels just to try and see if problem gos away I remember you could go down to local shop and get a set of each for like 80-90$If looking to replace your clutch as Dent said, quite a few on here have put in a Bandit.

Hey, I just realized, I replaced my clutch when I thought I had an issue -- used a Bandit, but I still have all the clutch plates from the old one, probably around 20k miles maybe 25k. Be happy to send them to you for the shipping.I will definitely consider this clutch but I just hate to spend the money and it not fix my problem that's why I was looking for aftermarket fibers and steels just to try and see if problem gos away I remember you could go down to local shop and get a set of each for like 80-90$
When I got the bike it was kinda hard to get neutral and noticed it getting worse well then I noticed it started lundging at stop lights after bike was at operating temp I can adjust it per service manual and it's fine for a couple days then it starts all over again I pulled the primary and did all the measurements 1st one was out of spec so disassemble and measured and everything was in spec. So I'm gonna take it back apart and order a new updated pressure plate and a new spring and if I could find some cheap frictions and steels theat twoHey, I just realized, I replaced my clutch when I thought I had an issue -- used a Bandit, but I still have all the clutch plates from the old one, probably around 20k miles maybe 25k.

Just to back up -- what makes you believe you need the clutch pak? And do you need anything else?
Check the throwout bearing -- when my first one went that was the culprit -- kept having to adjust on the road to get home after 50-60 miles.When I got the bike it was kinda hard to get neutral and noticed it getting worse well then I noticed it started lundging at stop lights after bike was at operating temp I can adjust it per service manual and it's fine for a couple days then it starts all over again I pulled the primary and did all the measurements 1st one was out of spec so disassemble and measured and everything was in spec.

Throw out bearing was bad and I looked for any type of imperfections and cracks and didn't see anything Baker told me to due the upgraded pressure plate and should solve my issueCheck the throwout bearing -- when my first one went that was the culprit -- kept having to adjust on the road to get home after 50-60 miles.
Also pull the whole clutch pack out and check the carrier closely -- there are upgraded carriers because some of the originals would crack.
I actually thought the bearing fixed it because it was good for like 3 days and then started doing same thing just without bearing noise nowThrow out bearing was bad and I looked for any type of imperfections and cracks and didn't see anything Baker told me to due the upgraded pressure plate and should solve my issue
